Sadly all open waters are frozen, we'll have to wait until spring... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLm_um1q9hQ Upd: servo fixture is weak, reinforce it. For the hull wood plaster, self adhesive glass fibre net and epoxy is used The name Krakenas Motorbirbis (something like "Kraken Motorbuzzer" in english) was given by my son last summer during vacations in Cyprus. I had to promisse him to make one since he really badly wanted to take some toy RC boats form a game in local marina. I'm a lousy father, yet I always keep my promisses, so here it is. For the quick catchers - it's not a ready solution and it won't ever be. If you intend yo make one, be ready to spend hours, days, weeks on it. for materials I used mostly 3 mm plywood, just few parts are 4mm plywood to make it stronger (bottom center piece and two side pieces along the axis). Glued with PVA glue, coevered with old rang and epoxy resin. Then some plaster. sanding, fine coating, paining, lacquer still to be done (I meant weeks, literally). For the components I used some Chinese hobby stuff: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1SET-New-Version-High-Speed-Pump-Spray-Water-Thruster-380-Motor-or-2440-Brushless-Motor-Jet/32896852016.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4df8d6iX https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1-pieces-MG946R-upgrade-RC-Metal-Gear-Torque-Servo-For-Boat-CAR-13KG-Torque-Metal-Servo/32854187745.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4df8d6iX Other components will be taken from this ship which sadly won't be developed due to some critical errors in design (yep, that's what happens when chemist starts ship building :D) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2437470 Please do a remix and share.
