Quarter scale Temptress
« on: May 07, 2023, 03:17:27 pm »
This isn't a model build in quite the same way that we think of it - it's a quarter scale build from plans for a full size boat, demonstrating all the techniques and constructional details needed to build the full size boat.  The builder also has much more sophisticated CNC equipment than most of us could hope to see in a home workshop.  But it is certainly a model, and a very impressive one, so it might be of interest to those who love the detail of hull construction.  It is also an intersting insight into modern boat building techniques.

If anyone is interested, in the latest video towards the end Dan Lee mentions producing a set of model plans, simplified somewhat from the full size and with RC in mind.  So if you are considering a 6' powerboat model, this might be for you! :-)) :-))

These are great for bumping around & not damaging anything. Love them.

They somehow remind me of the ...... (insert nationality of your choice) yacht was the quickest trans ocean 5 metre yacht. It was 5m long, 15m beam & sailed sideways!  %)

Sorry for the above. It is obviously in the wrong place.
