ORIGINAL: 1275psi
Thankyou guys for the comments, quite overwhelming
OK
I started this exactly 8 years ago
First model I have ever attempted, so I learnt a lot! (and there were a lot of mistakes!)
Ply wood frames, balsa strips , sanded, bogged, sanded, fiberglass, flow coat, and weeks and weeks of sanding by hand
I followed a rough rule of building everything in the structure with styrene, from scratch
As a learning thing, the ammo boxes were moulded
She is 12 feet long approximately, but unfortunately 3 inches too long for scale accuracy, a mistake from converting the
1/100 scale plans to 1/72, but you live and learn
The gun directors move individually, and main armament follows them
4 motors, 4 motorbike batteries, 2 individual radio control systems...
and 120 KG of removable ballast
Again, thanks for the comments, both here and in the AAR, you guys really are the
friendliest people ever
For any Aussies, in Sydney, weather permitting, she debuts at Hubertus Country club
September 5th
Its a great club, come and share a sausage!
Herbiesan
You built that and the comments are 'overwhelming'?!?
Interesting take on the universe.
