Building an RC boat - the Chris Craft Corvette is finished!

[@TinyHouseHomestead]

Awesome, ... BUT on a boat as nice as that, ... the ANCHOR would NOT juz be lying on the DECK! 😱😁🤪🤣👍👍🇺🇸

[@modellingmisadventures]

It is on every picture I’ve seen!

Been thinking about a boat kit after years of playing with RC cars. I have just watched this entire series in 1 sitting and you have totally convinced me that I need one of these. I really love the way you have paid attention to detail and the fact that you have custom made many parts. I think you should start a cottage business withe those light fittings etc because I'd buy some ! Thanks for your efforts

[@modellingmisadventures]

Thank you for the kind comments. I hope you enjoy building your boat.

[@earthquakeveiwer]

Don't know why. But all I could think of is Gilligan's island. Awesome build.

[@modellingmisadventures]

Thanks 👍

[@dennyforthewin]

man, its nice to see this boat finished and floating in the water. Good job! I also didn't realize its been more then a year of building this too. The effort shows.

[@modellingmisadventures]

Thank you 👍.

[@tylergood9168]

had one as a young man. ran it in the ditch in front of our house. non r/c. really dreamed of it. my set up was one motor with two props. props to you. magnificent.

[@modellingmisadventures]

Thank you. Bet you wish you still had that boat.

[@stephaniekent8483]

lovely, I have the Dumas 1954 Chris Craft Commander Express 1-12th scale with twin brushes motors and twin prop, a very beautiful, swift and capable sea going craft, you did a lovely job on yours, well done, subscribed and hi from New Zealand.

[@modellingmisadventures]

Thank you. I really wanted to get the Dumas or Stirling versions but couldn’t find them.

[@garygullikson6349]

You did a great job, used some innovative techniques. Glad you added people along with all the rest. Congratulations!

[@modellingmisadventures]

Thank you very much!

Hello from Ohio , U.S.A. Your skill is amazing . I also build rc boats only I build the DUMAS PT Boats . I have ( 3 ) under my belt and number (4 ) on the build table. I have a bit of an edge in detail. I had family that was on [ PT 27 ] .He was the skipper and I was given ALL his photos of many PT boats. I put the photos to work on these builds ( a lot of gear on the deck ) you wouldn't even think of. My PT boats are both the pacific and the atlantic type. Keep up the good work.

[@modellingmisadventures]

Thanks 👍

[@scottobrien3484]

Looks fantastic! Great work

[@modellingmisadventures]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@fredtedstedman]

love the figures - models look like "ghost ships " otherwise ! Great job , looks corvette !

[@modellingmisadventures]

Thanks👍

[@ellesmerewildwood4858]

WOW...NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE. The figures are awesome and maybe it's just my over active imagination but the captain is dressed the same as the Skipper from Gilligan's Island. Coincidence ? I apologize for laughing at your first effort with the blond lady's hair but the second effort was genius. And that maiden voyage was fantastic, I had no idea the motor was that powerful and she could do that kind of speed. Marina turned out a beauty, well done mate.

[@modellingmisadventures]

Thank you 👍. I’ve never seen Gilligan’s Island so pure coincidence.

[@adrianwilliams763]

I thought of Marina from “Last of the Summer Wine”

[@JuliaStClair-bw7mr]

Beautiful!

Thanks 👍

[@robertkees6048]

That's fast, you should use it for food delivery on the lake, Uber Boats. Here's your granola bar sir, thanks Capt. Ron.

That woman's hair is a HOT MESS! 😱😁🤪🤣👍👍🇺🇸 We will juz say it's the WIND blown look! 🤪🤣👍👍🇺🇸

[@modellingmisadventures]

Yes, that was my excuse.

[@jagitmax]

You call that finished , you need to smooth out the varnish on the wood everywhere , dont stop now .

[@modellingmisadventures]

I’m happy with it as it is.

[@garygullikson6349]

@@modellingmisadventures There area always "rivet counters" to make modelers aware of minor defects.

[@garygullikson6349]

BTW, it's pronounced "sodder" and "soddering" not "sollder" and "solldering" LOL!!

[@modellingmisadventures]

How come? The stuff is called “solder”

[@garygullikson6349]

I was a soldering instructor in the 60's, it's heathen to pronounce L's wrong as in "tortilla".

[@fredtedstedman]

S_O_L_D_E_R > only americans pronounce sodder . like aluminum and new-killer , ah well .

[@garygullikson6349]

@@fredtedstedman Pres Bush pronounced it "Noo Que Lurr", now most pronounce it that way. Canadians and British pronounce it "aal-you-min(i)-mun" go figure!

[@craigpimlott204]

Soddering is something completely different in the Uk 😂😂😂😂😂
