Title: CRAZY GIRL...ITS MY ROWING BOAT.... Post by: rathikrishna on January 26, 2011, 08:04:27 PM all we run behind big ships, speed boats,and tugs..etc...etc...but none of us will think about a rowing boat...why..? its clear...the toughness to find, or to make a rowing mechanism..its true, i was loooking for such mechanism,for me..so i searched..but none of them wasnt easy to make, and some of them was actuated by three and four servos for one side..and it need a circular movements of control stick, all with a good timing...sooo messy....
Title: Re: CRAZY GIRL...ITS MY ROWING BOAT.... Post by: rathikrishna on January 26, 2011, 08:06:10 PM so i smoked my brain a lots...and started to trace on my drawing board with a hot coffee...as my Maa's filter coffee inspires me..i found a solution for my worry.
I seached for a good doll around me in all shops..but none of them was in scale, some was 2 foot long..after some disappoinment, i got three dolls,from a car goods seller, as key chains...those three was almost in 1:30 th scale.and finaly, i took a doll from my brother... Title: Re: CRAZY GIRL...ITS MY ROWING BOAT.... Post by: rathikrishna on January 26, 2011, 08:06:43 PM so i started with the longest doll, as you see here...
then i removed its hands from body..... Title: Re: CRAZY GIRL...ITS MY ROWING BOAT.... Post by: rathikrishna on January 26, 2011, 08:07:13 PM i took a smaller crown wheel, from an old toy, and made this setup, as you see here...
Title: Re: CRAZY GIRL...ITS MY ROWING BOAT.... Post by: rathikrishna on January 26, 2011, 08:07:45 PM fter pasting the head and hands on the shaft, i waited for a day...
Title: Re: CRAZY GIRL...ITS MY ROWING BOAT.... Post by: rathikrishna on January 26, 2011, 08:08:15 PM after the setting time of the glue, i added some more reinforcements on it...
Title: Re: CRAZY GIRL...ITS MY ROWING BOAT.... Post by: rathikrishna on January 26, 2011, 08:08:44 PM and i placed it over a toy gear box, with a reworked motor for 6 volts....
Title: Re: CRAZY GIRL...ITS MY ROWING BOAT.... Post by: rathikrishna on January 26, 2011, 08:09:18 PM i fixed two aluminium brackets at the tips of the each hand, to fix the oars..
Title: Re: CRAZY GIRL...ITS MY ROWING BOAT.... Post by: rathikrishna on January 26, 2011, 08:10:00 PM the oars was made out of foam board..and oar rods from brass welding rods...
Title: Re: CRAZY GIRL...ITS MY ROWING BOAT.... Post by: rathikrishna on January 26, 2011, 08:10:36 PM the rudder set up is conventional, as the craft is too slow in nature....it made out of foam board, and driven by a toy gear box, via a walkman belt...
Title: Re: CRAZY GIRL...ITS MY ROWING BOAT.... Post by: rathikrishna on January 26, 2011, 08:11:06 PM the basic hull is expanded polystrene, and all additions where done by foam board...

Title: Re: CRAZY GIRL...ITS MY ROWING BOAT.... Post by: rathikrishna on January 26, 2011, 08:12:53 PM i added lots of weight all over the back,of the craft, to retain the momentum,aqquired by the oars...if not, the craft will stall...and jerks,insted of a foreward
motion... Title: Re: CRAZY GIRL...ITS MY ROWING BOAT.... Post by: rathikrishna on January 26, 2011, 08:14:39 PM whole hull was made out of thermocol...and strips were done by foam boards...
Title: Re: CRAZY GIRL...ITS MY ROWING BOAT.... Post by: rathikrishna on January 26, 2011, 08:16:31 PM the paint was ordinary enamel paint...and was added a lots of talcum powder in it...
