Hello
I was wondering IF anyone had plans OR know of a source for plans for a military rhib with dual outboards? A 3D file source or regular plans.
Please let me know.ThanksGeorge

Hi George,
What sort do you want because there are loads of different formats. Probably the best source for military rhibs is the US Army, because they use a lot or, if you could use semi-military, the US Coastguard have several and they are more colourful. A lot of the plans for both are available and there tend to be loads of photos etc. on-line.
I built one of these several years ago for a pair of outboards I had hanging around and it was a stonker. What surprised me the most is that I ended up exporting it from here in the UK to a chap in America.

Or this type from Mako boats Africa!

George - have you tried this Facebook Group? It contains hundreds of RC Boat plans of all descriptions, so definitely worth searching

Hello
Thanks for the replies tonyH and Charlie.
tonyH , your second picture is More of what I was thinking about. I think the USN has a similar one. I would love tog et a 3D file of that.
Charlie, Yes I am a member of that FB site also and I posted the same question there, do far no reply there.
Thought I would cast my question out farther to see if I get any replies. You were the first responders, Thank You.

Hi,
I made a 1/12 scale Pacific 24 RIB based on the Scale warship GA drawings for there resin 1/96 & 1/72 kits. The hull was a heavily modified MBD RIB GRE hull.
My model runs using a 28mm water jet unit.

Hi T888Thanks for your reply.Is that an ALL scratch build?Would you have any plans for it?
-
Hi George,
The model is a GRE hull from a company that is no longer trading. However if you contact ]https://www.scalewarship.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=635&tag=RIB (https://www.scalewarship.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=635&tag=RIB)[ they may be able to help with a GA drawing. This what I used a long with photos from versus web sites to make scratch build the deck, console, seats, mods to the GRE hull and fine detailing.
Sorry can’t be more helpful.

Hi George,
The basic USCG boat is made by Safemarine and is used by the US military under the name of Defender and there are loads of photos of the boats being used around Africa etc.
This is a source that seem to have a 3D model on line but I've never used them so have no idea whet they're like.https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-coast-guard-rb-hs-boat-model/316034
This next is a general article which may give some ideas. https://www.warboats.org/future.htm
This is a Tactical Patrol Boat which may/may not be outboard driven but I haven't been able to find a pic of the back end!

Hi TonyH
Thanks for your reply.This is what I have in mind, with a little militarization, https://www.google.ca/search?source=univ&tbm=isch&q=damen+outboard+Rhib+975&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi77_-uh5frAhXLlHIEHQYkDCsQsAR6BAgKEAE&biw=1076&bih=741
Now ALL I need is a 3D file of this to have a friend of mine print this out for me. Any ideas?
George

Hello again
Just found this site: https://grabcad.com/library/damen-outboard-rhib-975-1 (https://grabcad.com/library/damen-outboard-rhib-975-1) Google is a curse!
Knowing nothing about 3D printing, can any one tell me IF this file is able to be 3D printed OR is it Just for using in on screen video situations?
ThanksGeorge

Hi George, I got mixed up with 1st/2nd boat! %% Looks like you've got it now so good luck!

Grabcad is most likely for visual or in game rendering. Something to use in a Video Game, or Virtual experience.
Thingiverse will have 3d printable files.
Here is that same Rhib, but it is a waterline model.
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3572659
(https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3572659)It does say one complete, so maybe it has a full hull option.

Thanks Umi
I`ve emailed the builder there on thingiverse and await a reply.

Someone on ebay is selling RIB mouldings -I think they would be a good base for lots of boats depending on scale. I'd have one but I know on ebay theyr'e advertised at something like 600% percent mark-up from when they were advertised here (same pictures of the parts) and auction only, so not tempted.
-
Can you post a link to the ebay site? Can`t find anything with your title "RIB Mouldings"ThanksGeorge

...funny you shoud say that, as I wrote my post I couldn't find them either. They have selling them for weeks if not a month plus. They are obviously the Atlantic Mouldings RIB's passed on in the FS section here. Fair play if someone got 10 sets for £150 then sold each for £75 after! I would have offered no more than £30-35 plus postage knowing it was already doubling the investment but ebay listing was already set at £75!

Hello RST
Strange, I just went through the F/S section here and I can`t find anything under RIB Mouldings. I do see the company that you mention but they are selling another item only. Was that an fairly new post you saw OR an old one?
-
Hello Again RST
Just found the posting finally. Would know what Scale / Size that RIB Mouldings kit was/is?
-
Sorry George, I can't find the post here from Atlantic Mouldings either now. Hope it's not been deleted It was a different thread / product from what I see you just repied to. I just hate it when sales threads are deleted as they are often very useful references afterwards. If you found the post you can scale roughly from the pictures though.

Hi Rich
Sorry not skilled enough to do that. Picture does not give me a straight line to measure.
I did post there asking for it`s scale/size.
Will see if anyone replies there.George
-
Sorry george but what? If you have one idea of a dimension, you can simply scale from everything else or something you can see -ish or close and close one eye, unless of course you want exact. It's a perfectly simple and normal thing to do otherwise, if you can dial a tel number then it's not much more complicated.
I just googled "DAMEN RIB" and it came up with quite a few hits -good old DAMEN -if you can think of a boat, they probably already built one so far if not they have a design for one and already have a .pdf sketch of a potential boat already to download. I just downloaded their "1200" spec sheet and the hull lines are pretty simpe to create from the outline drawing? It's almost there in basics from the get go.

Hi RST
Yes Damen rhib 975 is the one I`m interested in as well. Looking to see if there is anyone with a 3D file available so I can have it printed and go from there.
Been looking.
George
