Tips on building my own model?

gimpy117 · 05-21-08, 08:50 PM

I would like to build my own model of a WWI german cruiser, i can find plans, but how difficult would it be to make the hull etc?

and could i somehow make it out of stainless steel but have it float?? I think that would be mad cool and realistic. at least the outer skin that is.

I can't really help but maybe this site can. They have a forum there that may help. Good luck with the model!

yea thanks....

I did find a site of a guy who used a ribb and keel style construction,

I really wanna make the ship float and all (for R/C)

well hopefully I can get my father behing it, he works at a wood shop that has some C&C routers and stuff.
