Skydiver 5 foot build

Mamas, what, do you own a hobby store?

[RCnut]

Lol, No Mark I just "work" in one. Times being what they are, I have plenty of spare time to work on my own stuff.

Done a bit more to Diver, Rear Hull detailing, Front Sky 1 Interface, Conning tower ports and insets also "The Place where peeps stand" and the intake grills underneath. As far as im concerned its nearly done I wont be adding any stand out details underneath for drag reasons and since this model will be dragged along to loads of ponds, lakes etc they would probably be knocked off.

Absolute work of Art Mamas! In the second picture, are those the intakes for the pump jets?

Wow! Thanks guys, Mark yes those are the intakes for the jets. It would have been nice to incorparate them into the Faux grilled intake but I needed them to be as low in the water as possible. That way under full power it would sit as high as it could, thats the theory anyway, lol.

Got the mesh I needed and did this today all thats left is 4 vents each side on the back and finish on the conning tower. Then Sky 1. :biggrin:

Reg Hill and company HAVE to be smiling down on this work, RCnut!

[RCnut]

Thanks David, I hope they are. I just got an electronic mixer today to enable me to control this thing with my old F14 transmitter, So far so good. Now im toying with the idea to waterproof the motors.....Just in case lol.

Really guys you are far to kind.......Carry on carry on lol. Anyway back to reality (for me) Spent today sorting the mixer and trying to source the framework for those back vents. In the end I made one up in plastic and will mould that as a last resort. In the meantime still looking.

[RCnut]

I've been looking for a mesh suitable for the back four (Vents) each side with no luck. I tried soldering thin brass but that didnt work, Made one out of plasticard strip with a view to casting in resin, that would have been too weak, so in the end, I bit the bullet and made seven more lol. Heres the result.

[greenman407]

Neat. I was wondering what i was going to do about that.
