thanks Guys, the Barge is totally made out of PVC foam board, except the centre keel is of aluminium. so that it should be strong enough on loaded condition. the propeller is made out of aluminium utensil lid. prop shaft is of cycle tyre spoke, for standtube I used pen outer cover, only the ruddder is 3D printed.

I m still working on the cabin, not getting enough time to complete, once its done I'll come with my final video.

What is PVC Foam board? :headscratch:

Is it sunboard?


Also which type of paint did you use

I guess foam board and sun board are same, its the one which is used for advertisement. I used normal oil paint, with spray gun.

Ask for foam board in the shops which sell stationery for architecture students, etc. They use this board. We have a pile of this stuff everyweek, near our hostel, coz the students make models for submissions out of this stuff and throw away the waste.
