What camera were you using to film?

[sanddragon99]

@TOMTHETOUGHGUY

The ship was big enough to actually hold an olympus stylus 720 SW waterproof camera which was precariously balanced on the bow deck but this would have fallen overboard if it was not dead calm....the camera is also water proof for up to 10 feet!

[sanddragon99]

It should already have a motor, and a gear box as well as 3 proppeller shafts!...I bought a cheap toy RC boat at Wallmart and wired in all the parts as well as rigged both rudders to work...there is an internal balsa wood frame fore the rudder servo rigg...modeling clay was used for ballast too!..Speed ard range as well as turning were not very good ,if it sailed beyond 50 feet it might cut out!....the antenna was inside lying flat!...does not turn on a dime at all!

where did you get the yamato its like my fav ship and i really want one please respond

[sanddragon99]

@seanthecomentator

Got this model kit by chance at a Hobby shop in Miami...I actually built this kit twice so If I do it a 3rd time I will perfect my Rc micro building skills and even add micro cut wood decks and photo etched brass parts!... I gave this to a good friend of mine!

you have a camera underwater, is that a sub?

[sanddragon99]

@cooliodude96529

Use of Olympus sports camera that is water resistant up to 10 feet ... these type of cameras are being made more available so you can take a dive or dip your hand in the water and see what a fish would see!

Looking at the description saying "scale speeds" If THAT was scale speed, then the Yamato is a LOT faster than I thought!

[TOMTHETOUGHGUY]

@sanddragon99 Thanks, I was thinking of doing something similar to that, and I wasn't sure what camera to get, and yours seemed good, but now that you said the water had to be calm otherwise to camera would fall, I'll try to find a smaller camera.

The thumbnail makes it look like it's flying over trees

I like seeing models move at scale speeds, especially in "mill pond" conditions. Beautiful ship, like the underwater shots. Please don't get bored and blow it up . . . .
