Found a similar steampunk sub http://industriamechanika.com/shop/i...products_id=25

Wonder if it'a RC-able?

[Subculture]

That's a mad looking thing. Static or R/C?

Oh Wow!!! I didnt think my Terrorfish could look like that even tho you said you were going to Steam Punk it. That looks so Cool :)

A bit "Jules Vernesque", she is!! ( The model, that is!! Hah!!)

Would certainly be a big hit at a fun run or a regatta!!! Certainly
a most worthy conversation starter!! Very cool!!

I wanted to pass along a project that I just completed with this kit. Shortly after their posts here, I inquired about and secured one of these kits. Its was a really fun build. I'll post up a dedicated thread on it shortly. For now, here is what I managed to do with it:

Just how big is this beastie? Its hard to tell scale from the photos, but I'm guessing at around 16" overall maybe?

From its mouth to the tip of its tail is 20"

Well here it is the finished Static Product, Paint is a work in progress, Now to RC it.

[Mrs RCnut]

Graupner mini jet is the current thinking because of its relatively small size and high output.

What prompted the use of PU resin on the head instead of the P38 filler and polyester resin mix.

As technical support on this project I will answer for Linda in this instance.

As you know when casting into silicone mould with a polyester based resin it will come out tacky, on a smooth subject this would be easy to fix by wet and drying the surface.
In the case of the Head it has the dimpled texture which would prove difficult to do this with. So I thought a thin PU layer with a backing of glass and Matt, Worked out a treat:biggrin:
