Kripya kuch vistaarit tasveerein  laga dijiye...Badi meherbaani hogi aapki     

First up, the 46cm Cabin Cruiser Kit.

Next the Offshore Motor Boat 39cms.

Incidentally, both the kits contain parts for making individual boat stands for display.

nice one

By sheer coincidence, the hull of the 46cm boat is an almost 1:50 scale replica of the PT  Torpedo boat. The most famous example being Pt 109, which was commanded by the late John F. Kennedy.

I have started work on the model. Pictures to follow.

I am looking forward to make a assemble a both for myself and i would like to start with the Cabin Cruiser 46 cms, can you please me more address details  or online  details on where i can order.

Good morning VC sir, and too happy to hear from you this news as, brushed ESC with motor...Sir, all you know, i am making all needed stuffs for me myself. all it are time consuming and tedious proses. my health is not much ok..so i am willing to save some of my time with some new works. then i need a ESC for brushed motor, and yes along with a motor as you mentioned.(Brushed ESC + Reverse mechanism - Add Rs. 650/-.)
sir, will you guide me once to get these stuffs for me..? its a kind request. please.

Mr. Krishna, I would love to sell you all the stuff, however, a master modeller like you won't need any of this. Your levels of boat modelling are far above these ordinary things. Every time I see your giant Frigate (and other models), my eyes pop on disbelief!

If you are still interested to save time and spend money, do let me know.

Regards.

Sir, thanks for the inspirations..but all we know that,there is no any  limit in model making. i told you, that i do not have any modern facility to accommodate in my model works. so, the instruction from your words is too inspiring that, if i have a chance to get a good motor with an esc, for my crafts, it will be much time saving to me, especially, in my bad health situation. Sir, as you know, i can starve, but cant live without making models. even now i am working on various crafts. so some useful stuffs may help me a lots. so, please give me some instructions to get some needed stuffs from you, to me once, because i have to save my time and effort. please its a request. i need a good motor and an ESC for it, or a full kit as you mentioned here. i have saved some money with me from my modeling works, and i will pay you the cost to your account number...Sir, please its a kind request. Krishna.

Sir, i will contact you through the personal mail, if, is there a need of it. any how i am waiting for a positive reply from you, because by days i will consume the saved money from me...so, i need a full kit from you, that you mentioned as full for 1550+courier.that i hope it includes the motor , ESC and reverse mechanism. within that time i will finish my other crafts...with great hope.

Thank You VC for you response ,  i look forward for your mail with the details.

Rgds / Jana

I would take one 39 cm boat please . Also let me know if you have any sail boats

I can only arrange for the bare bones kits at the moment. Motors / ESC will take a lot of time and I am sorry I can't arrange for it now. If people are seriously interested in the kits as pictured above, please PM me.

good morning Sir..i send you a personal massage....with great hope...

Yes VC. I meant the bare bones kit only. let me know your details and will send out the money

Pms will be sent to Aafi, Viksi, Roopesh, Ham Aero and Jana soon with all details.

Thanks and Regards.

thank you sir...

Mr. VC , I am Looking forward for your mail with the details

Rgds / Jana

All details sent to concerned persons.

Thanks for showing interest.

Received money from Viksi (650) and Hamaero (800) and Janardhan Pinniti (800). Orders placed.

Awaiting payment from Roopesh, should be getting it within a day or two.

Received Rs.1400/- from Roopesh. All orders placed. Thanks a lot for showing interest. Will keep you all posted soon.

Sailboat model expected soon.

VC Sir,

Any possibilities of offering bigger size models, since I feel more inner space is required for converting the boats into full fledged r/c ones.

Sanjay

Trying my best for a PT Boat of 750mm + length. However, that will take some time. Will keep you posted on that.

Good morning VC Sir...and wwoooowww...for the 750 mm PT boat...sure, you must keep one for me...when arrived...and now i am in happiest mood to assemble the boats...hoooyyy....thank you once again...

All kits have arrived at the Couriers office at Guwahati. I will get them tomorrow. Should be despatching them by the 3rd or 4th latest.

Thank you for your patience.

Good morning VC Sir...and a million thanks for the happiest news..hooraayyy...my heart is pumping with excitement..   its an extreme excitement...

Sir..please consider about the big PT boat...it will be a collection of the lifetime...

All kits have been despatched through Professional Couriers.

Consignment Nos. as follows:

Roopesh - GAU 294519

Jana - GAU 294521
Viksi - GAU 294522

Thanks a lot for your interest. Do let me know once they arrive.

Thank you VC Sir..i will collect it from the courier office at Vatakara...

Perhaps, due to an oversight on my part, none of the metal parts (Prop, shaft, stuffing tube and rudder) have been included in the kits as they did not arrive from the manufacturer. I am not sure about this, but I don't recall seeing them as I packed the kits individually.

Would request all those who bought them to please confirm once you open the package. If they are missing, I will send them to you immediately.

My apologies in advance.

VC Sir..if its missing, its need not apology, especially a respected person you.its a silly matter..and i will make it with a ball pen body along with two brass tube pieces..ohh..i am in a sweet dream to make those...yeeaaaa...

Good evening Sir..
i collected the kits from DTDC office by after noon, and it was intact. a million thanks for the kits, is lovely and simple. i will enjoy building those kits after long years of kit building..a million thanks again.

Roopesh, HamAero, Viksi and Jana - Gentlemen, please let me have your mailing addresses once again. The props, shafts, rudders and stuffing tubes have arrived.

Regards,

VC

@roopesh please post the build log for the boats would help me in some way i've also ordered the 39cm boat from him.

i started out the build too. will send out the build snaps in a bit. ( my card reader is missing ) .
question guys , am i the only one who had to trim some of the kits out, also how are u guys gonna drill the hole for the prop shaft ?

Here's my progress so far  

I got some of the trimmings wrong , 1 because i didnt factor in the warp that the wood might have , two i didnt have anything but my eyes for an alignment aid for the ribs.

so ya , the boat is a little warped and im hoping to take care of it during sanding and finishing.

also am thinking of turning this into a sail boat , with a carbon fiber mast and a main sail.
does anyone know where I can get those wench servos ? 

Good evening Friends..first of all i have a humble request to VC Sir..VC Sir, actually these kits aren't cheap boat kits..surely all it are value for money..equally for a beginner and for expert model maker..its too simple to assemble, i took 20 minutes each, but stunning after finish..too stable in water..and flying over water..and i am enjoying my boating with these kits..and i added lots of imagination to each hull, and one is finished as a fishing trawler and one is as a speed boat. i will post all of my building procedure here, within time..and i hope all you also may be building your kits..

Viski, we can simply drill a hole in to any hull, or in to any airframe, by attaching a thin round needle file to 12 mm chuck drill, with speed controller.

here is the basic finish..i will post a detailed log of these boats in time..i also added a dummy engine..still working with decals and lights..

wish you all a nice build..

Regret to inform all concerned that I have cancelled and recalled all the consignments of accessories and a boat kit for Coolprathesh that were being sent through Professional Couriers.

The consignments had been collected more than 3 days ago and I have just found out that they were still sitting at the Couriers office. No reasonable explanation was provided by the staff.

Will despatch them by tomorrow latest. Fresh details will be updated.

My apologies to all concerned and I thank you for your patience. I have sent out individual PM's to all 5 concerned members.

 

VC Sir..i am waiting for the PT boat kit..with great hope..

not a problem. I know the courier ppl, have being sending couriers myself for some time now. I know how they behave. Professional is not at all professional and DTDC takes money and destroys your consignment.
Do keep me posted about the progress.

All consignments despatched through Blazeflash Couriers:

Roopesh : 2 x (Prop + Shaft + Stuffing tube + Rudder).  Consignment No. 131803288

http://www.rcindia.org/boats/boat-build-log-%27-sea-hawk%27/msg76322/#msg76322

Thank you VC Sir..and Pratheesh..on the look..

Pratheesh, its a nice effort, especially as a beginner. it looks good. and have a nice build.

Thank you very much Roopesh.

Welcome Pratheesh, and its appreciable effort.and i have one request with you..patience is the key of the success of model making..that we must see in our mind its final shape..so can navigate very simply..

quick questions guys

What are you guys using for the filler material. is it polyester putty ?
Also if instead of a paint finish, if I wanted a clear wood finish , what should I use .

thanks in advance

Viksi, its a nice effort..we can use any kind of putty to finish our crafts. but NC (nitro cellulose) based putty is not enough to fill big gaps.but if you use the PU (polyester putty) you can simply fill gaps in any size.and in my examination, the PU putty and Car body fillers are almost same, but differs in money. both are showing same characteristics,and smell too.we can use any paint to any putty surface, but my friend says me a PU based paint gives much better finish. but costs a lots.PU putty is very easy to sand out, start with 100 grit paper, then with 400 or 600 with water. some kits are not designed to go for a direct finish.means after laying out, there must be lots of gaps, strips and so on.so without a gap filling cant attain a clean finish.instead you can finish your craft with putty, and after smoothing it, can paint to depict the wooden surface.very easily. orange paint, with little black, will gives us a bare wood color. after whole painting you can dry brush some grow lines over surface gives a nice wooden surface. after drying can go for a clear varnish finish gives a glossy effect.
you can see here, is my craft, is showing the wooden door at first photograph. but it is made out of drawing paper, seasoned, and painted to depict the wooden spars..its easy and looks elegant..

have some nice builds..

that is awesome rupesh , i couldnt tell it was not clear laquer over wood. thanks a lot

have a nice build..
