    New Galathée Sub - ADX Models (France)

    Hello Guys, and sorry for my English :oops:

    It's always an emotional moment, opening a big box containing a model kit of submarine RC :)
    But this time the symbolic dimension is there because it is the first model sold by Aurélien DOUX since the end of the company Lecma!

    We were fortunate to discover a few days ago the range of our 2011 National craftsman and now includes a model as iconic as the Galatée;)

    New topic devoted to assembly of the first submarine ADX Galatée, "a first then, is only ScaleSub!

    The purpose of this subject is also to demonstrate that the Galatée is a model that can be mounted on a corner office with minimal equipment and in a relatively short time.
    We'll see, by spending 1 hour a day to assemble the submarine, how long it will take to finish it :D

    The contents of the box is always full, in fact, pump, motor, battery, cables and other linkages are present. The manual is detailed and makes assembly step of the model, note in passing that it is now stamped with the logo ADX Models :)

    Well it was too tempting, so tonight I set up the main rack. Children's play and above all a pleasure to assemble, it must be said that the ultra fine cutting CNC provides exceptional precision.

    Parts are detached from the main plate, they are deburred and sanded.

    Hi,

    1 day/1 hour, here after making the Galatea from 2 hours devoted to assembly of the submarine;)

    Begin the back by cutting and sanding the PVC cones.

    Then it prepares the cap back on fixing the stern tube and thru-hulls.

    The cone is now set to end cap to form the rear of the model.

        I always admired this model, especially when I first discovered it via one for sale, complete with all working lights.

        Very nice sub!!

          Its a great looking sub Laurent, do you know if you can buy this as a kit without the internal water tight cylinder?
          Thanks

          You would not steal a wallet so don't steal people's livelihood.
          Think of that before your buy "cheap" pirated goods or download others work protected by copyright. Theft is theft.

            Hello John

            No, it's impossible to buy the kit without the WTC because the submarine is built around the WTC.

                Outstanding photography and solid step-by-step presentation. Keep it up.

                God! What an ugly boat. But, it's growing on me. Keep posting!

                  Hi David,

                  Sure it's not a pretty hull :biggrin:.
                  But it is a small model easy to carry and perfect for putting a small camera.

                    I think it looks cool, in an robot-machine sorty way like all research subs. But yes not "pretty"

                    This thing needs some mean, working manip arms.

                          Hello :)

                          It's been long since I have not worked on the Galatea, but after 2 hours of construction, the electronics are mounted in the submarine.
