Title: First Boat Build: 24" Cabin Cruiser Post by: sanjayrai55 on May 03, 2013, 10:13:22 AM I pestered VC to get me a simple boat kit, and he kindly obliged
Title: Re: First Boat Build: 24" Cabin Cruiser Post by: aniket210696 on May 03, 2013, 10:17:59 AM Damn! it's that AMAZING workbench! it's BACK!! :(
your very lucky to get the time and space to have a dedicated workbench like that! :salute: Title: Re: First Boat Build: 24" Cabin Cruiser Post by: sanjayrai55 on May 03, 2013, 10:22:25 AM Hull build is straightforward. Could not bend the stringers enough to really get them in without snapping (no steam) so did some jugaad!
Title: Re: First Boat Build: 24" Cabin Cruiser Post by: sanjayrai55 on May 03, 2013, 10:25:43 AM Thanks Aniket...don't put nazar on my workbench; I built it myself!
Title: Re: First Boat Build: 24" Cabin Cruiser Post by: aniket210696 on May 03, 2013, 10:32:08 AM here's a easy way to bend balsa:: chew it.... not hard,just force saliva into it... then bend it into shape and hairdryer it....
but don't tell anyone you did this, or they'll think twice before touching your boat.. :P you can also use vinegar.... Title: Re: First Boat Build: 24" Cabin Cruiser Post by: VC on May 03, 2013, 10:53:36 AM Wow! That is some work space you've got there Sir. Will you adopt me as a younger brother? ;D

Title: Re: First Boat Build: 24" Cabin Cruiser Post by: girishsarwal on May 12, 2013, 02:15:17 PM Chief, where do you plan to sail this. Yamuna looks dry. Oh you should've told me earlier, I just invested in a pilot spray paint gun from Chawri, we could've used it for painting the boat
And goes without saying...looks very good Title: Re: First Boat Build: 24" Cabin Cruiser Post by: sanjayrai55 on May 12, 2013, 02:24:19 PM Damdama has water ;D
Which gun? Electric or air? If air, need compressor too Title: Re: First Boat Build: 24" Cabin Cruiser Post by: girishsarwal on May 12, 2013, 02:30:56 PM It's the electric one...

Title: Re: First Boat Build: 24" Cabin Cruiser Post by: sanjayrai55 on May 12, 2013, 10:36:06 PM Thanks Anand, Priyum :D :thanks:
Title: Re: First Boat Build: 24" Cabin Cruiser Post by: desachristopher on May 16, 2013, 06:27:54 PM does the pilot E88, able to spray oil paint?
coz I went to buy one today n they said its not compatible for painting oil paint, please reply soon as I want to paint it for my RC Boat Title: Re: First Boat Build: 24" Cabin Cruiser Post by: VC on May 25, 2013, 11:05:21 PM @Anand sir,please read your pm,and great build sanjay,keep it up buddy! Priyum, why is Anand an exalted 'Sir' and Sanjay just 'Sanjay'? ??? Rai Sir, How is she faring now? Here are, as promised, a few pointers for your next 48" build. As desired, these models require the least amount of detailing and will look rather impressive at that scale. Just google 'Chris Craft boats' and see what you can dredge from the net. Edited to include a bigger plan view of the XK 19. Title: Re: First Boat Build: 24" Cabin Cruiser Post by: VC on May 25, 2013, 11:07:14 PM Some more, I am trying to build the blue one (XK 19 last 3 pics) out of styro. Hull has been shaped a year ago, thereafter she has been in the dry docks. Features a simple hull incorporating fast racing lines. Plan view in my earlier post above.
Title: Re: First Boat Build: 24" Cabin Cruiser Post by: sanjayrai55 on May 26, 2013, 07:55:24 AM Wow VC, these look daunting. Aren't Chris Craft full size boats? How does one then get plans for a model?
That finish.......wow! Title: Re: First Boat Build: 24" Cabin Cruiser Post by: VC on May 26, 2013, 11:13:25 AM Sir, the first picture of Reply # 25 (Red) and the first 3 pictures of Reply # 26 are not of real boats but Computer Graphics generated models!
Title: Re: First Boat Build: 24" Cabin Cruiser Post by: sanjayrai55 on May 26, 2013, 11:49:56 AM :giggle: :giggle: OK. Now I'm undaunted >:D
Title: Re: First Boat Build: 24" Cabin Cruiser Post by: Priyum on May 26, 2013, 07:21:29 PM @VC sir, pardon me for my mistake, sorry to the seniors here, after all im new here :P
