started cutting the hull . I was going to CNC but opted to laser cut part as its quicker and all these parts get painted or are not seen.

Any plans to make it remote control? it would be a beautiful thing to see that thing in the water!

It’s definitely going to be remote control. I’ve Ordered at 65mm brass prop And spent all today water proofing the shaft.

Very cool. It's going to be a great size. You'll be able to add quite a few details at that scale.

Soon a Little Shop of Horrors!
Love to see how this is coming along.

Interesting way to see how you are building the hull. Thanks for showing the computer generated plans and construction. You must follow up with a remote controlled shark after that diorama.

Wow mate...quite the project you have there (were you influenced by GEEK1138?) In terms of scale it's going to be huge (as you already know) and I think it's the right scale to flesh out all of those little details found on the boat. Looking forward to your next update

 

[flimzy]

I don't think until the mast is on it the scale really be a problem. still would love to do it at 6th scale as I had planned. All the CAD drawings are at full size to help with scaling, so the only thing stopping me was where to put it when it's finished. As already said "I'm going to need a bigger house."

I was very lucky and found the perfect thin leatherette in a close colour.

Very close indeed! And tell Quinn not to point that harpoon that way
