HMS Rodney RC Hero part 2/2

HMS Rodney, flagship of Admiral Ben, was the first battleship to carry my new RC Hero camera into combat. This was the result.

The RC Hero is a compact, waterproof, bulletproof video camera intended for use on RC boats, planes, cars, etc. It has an extra-wide-angle lens, the better to capture the close-up action our ships are known for. For this video, the camera was mounted atop "C" turret, using one of the supplied camera mounts.

Has the Rodney ever sunk?

[kotori87]

@jcsv12345 You bet she has! Any ship as active as this one is bound to get sunk sooner or later. If you watch some of my other videos, you'll see HMS Rodney sinking several times. I've sunk her at least once myself.

how much the steel bb's power? like 200 fp/s maby? and how do you know were your aiming?

[kotori87]

@Xavi997 The biggest battleships fire 1/4" steel balls at a little over 150fps. Smaller cannons fire a little faster, because our test is penetration, not velocity. As far as aiming, you just eyeball what direction your guns are pointing from shore, and "fart in the general direction" of your opponent.

I'm thinking of making this a hobby and i was on strikemodels today and noticed that the hulls had 3 prices a hull+kit price, a hull+deck pirce, and a hull price... could you shead some light on what the Hull+kit is?

[kotori87]

@MegaTitanicboy Certainly. A hull is just that, a fiberglass hull. A hull+ deck includes both the hull and a subdeck and deck, saving you the time of having to build your own. A hull+kit includes the hull, subdeck and deck, and basic superstructure components. This would be shaped foam blocks for the various buildings, plastic decks for the levels above the main deck, and sturdy dowel for masts. This will save a lot of time when making a ship because you don't have to make them yourself.

@kotori what do you use to shoot other vessels and did you build your boat or buy it?
