Title: My 1st Built boat The TSEKOA II
Post by: Master Chief on April 04, 2007, 05:58:23 pm
I am about 90% done My TSEKOA II ship. It will Be Fully Loaded, From Real Hard wood Flooring in The wheel house, Too working Radar booms, and screen. Working waterpump,Emergancy builg pump,Bowthruster, and Over 15 working lights and 4 spot lights, all working off  2, 6v batteries, and 1, 9.6v.   ALL I GOTA SAY IS I AM HOOKED. I tip My hat To Dave Metcalf.
Very Nice Boat Too Build. I feel I am a master Modeler, Iv Built Cars, & Trucks Electric to Nitro. Evan Too Build a prototype Gas/nitro Race truck. This Boat put My skills too the Test, and I cant wate till I set sails. The Only thing I do regret is Not making The Crain to work. When I  can, I will Post all My Pictures.
                But Heres My Question I would like Too ask. Thats right !!!! lol :P Im looking to build another one.!
  You all Know Of The Smitt Rotterdam,? Class of ship.  I wont to Build something like that but all I seem to Find are static models or The one thats offerd as almost reddy to run one thats 1/32. I want to Build it and I would like to see it Come in  at around 45inches or biger. I seen one overseas ,on the net that looked Very Big.   any ways Possible somebody can send me in the Right deriction?

My hat off to Master chief "he" is building one hall of a boat. When he first showed me his boat I also loved it and it also got me hook on it as well so I did get one In the Aziz model. But watching him putting his boat together and how he is going about it. It is a great thing to watch and marvel at because he is about detail" so again Master Chief my Hat is off to you!!
PS. Stop changing the paint colors because I do not know if your boat float any more with that much paint on a boat..  ;D  ;)  ::)  you will be sailing soon.

Very nice build. It makes me want to get one. Activating the crane would be interesting. But so much work. Have you had it in the water yet?
