Scale RC boats

[ms3rcboatcpt]

Hi everyone . I'm glad to finally find a board that has my interest . I build scratch built models from ship plans . I've only built 3 kits . The rest have been from scratch . I am just starting to build M/V Swan . A heavy lift ship owned by Dockwise , I also built The Mighty Servant 3 . I'm still working on a drill rig for The Mighty Servant .
I also built a cargo ship 6 feet long , fully balisted it weights in at 185 lbs .I look forward to sharing pictures of my ships with everyone . My interest in ships are Heavy lift vessels and cargo ships .

Awesome, would love to see pics of the MS3. Also, any pics of the ballasting system.

Oh yeah, welcome aboard.

I'm not very good with the computer so it will take some time . My son has the the pictures on a disk and he is at college . He has been teaching me . Right nw I'm home sick and should be in bed but I was looking around the web for information on the M/V Swan and found ths site . It has been a good day .

I have the pumps for The Mighty Servant but have not installed them yet . I built her in 1/100 scale .
Thank you for welcomeing me . I'm happy to be here .

[Habanero]

Hope she floats better than the real one ;)

Welcome...hope ya feel better real soon! ;)

And your building a drill rig to go with the ship. COOL!

[Umi_Ryuzuki]

A drilling rig is a must have accessory for a heavy lift ship.
That or an FFG-58 or DDG-67... ;)

ms3rcboatcpt,

What plans did you get for you MS-3 build?
My build is, at this point, imminent. So I am interested in
the ballasting systems and pump selections. However, I probably
won't get started till after I get back from "Maduro..." Amsterdam.

also make a good and DRAMATIC rescue boat.

imagine thee schene where someone's 1/48th sc Tug has broke down, 60 feet off the shore, sail up, ballast down, reverse, de balast, return home. :)

Rescue? :confused:

We were thinking more along the lines of piracy...
Why settle for an $8.76 recovery fee when you can demand more. :o
There's another design for submarines and space craft. :p

welcome ms3rcboatcpt. like the others have commented, can't wait to see your models--especialli the MS3.

I just woke up from a nap . This cold is killing me , I also have a toddler who gave me this cold . 3 boys , 2 in college and one in diapers .
Umi Ryuzuki The plans I got for the Mighty Servant came from Dockwise , I have a connection there . I also got the plans for the M/V Swan from them . The Servant class had to go back when I was done .
The drill rig is a 9500 pace setter . Fried and Goldman disign I think .

Sorry to hear that your're under the weather.
Kids are such great vectors for sharing colds. :o

Did you keep a copy of the MS-3 set? They sent me a copy
of the orginal plan/profiles, plus a set of lines done in a word document.
No real way to bring them together, but it shouldn't be too hard.
There isn't many places to misplace a frame on these ships.
I hope you feel better soon.

We look forward to pics of your work. ;)

Welcome, ms3. Hope that you're on the mend.

Where in The Garden State are you? If you are so inclined, you might want to look into the South Orange Seaport Society -- a group of aimable RC boaters if ever there was one. http://www.angelfire.com/nj3/sos/

Cheers,
Capt. Spaulding

Welcome ms3. Nothing worse than trying to look after a young one when you are under the weather. Better start sucking back the old vitamin C. Like every one else, am looking forward to seeing your fleet.
