Looks great Krishna. Very steady on the water too.

Would love to try making an Expanded Polystyrene Foam model one day.  Are there any special tools you use to cut straight lines in it?

it is so easy to make any craft with expanded polystyrene.. from micro to massive.. and despite the size the craft weighs only a little.. lasts for a life time.. easy to rework... and sure, thers a great special tool ever.. without it, i cannot make any model.. is a 7 inch long  bladed, sharp kitchen knife.. can cut to any shape.. and uses 80, 120 grit sand papers to smooth it out.. then start to apply tissue with diluted white glue.. so enjoyable.. have some nice builds.. thank you Tug Cowboy..

Every time I check this site you seem to have another boat built. How long did this one take? It's absolutely fantastic.  U2

Great piece of work Krishna.  I liked your film and wondered where how you kept the steering servo so small and hidden away  ?.

Here's an idea for your next model.  Have you considered a Hovercraft. It would be great to your version of the skirts and what ideas you come up with.. you never cease to amaze us all with your ingenuity.   :}

Cheers

its a standard servo, with metal gears.. and find some extra space, underneath the servo, so it seats well..
have some hover crafts.. but loves slow moving crafts like trawlers and passenger.. it gives me ample of running time and saves my batteries.. here is one of my early work on hover craft.. thank you..

That hovercraft moved brilliantly along the sand. What is the skirt made from?

it was a humble work.. thank you Tug Kenny..
the skirt was made of a polyethylene, material, that i attained from a bag repairing shop.. and to make her extra stable just added a gyro..
