Title: Building the "Fairplay 30" from the KyModel-kit in 1:50
Post by: Speed123 on July 08, 2021, 10:05:50 am

Hallo,

i have been working on the model for about one year and it is now nearly finished.

to share my experiences a video was created to summarize the important topics from the build including optimizing the Schottel drives or making the main winch operational.

Hello,

last weekend a camera was mounted to the back of the wheelhouse, simulating the Skipper-view towards the working area and taking video-clips during the anchor-handling.

Getting the anchor into the water is still a bit tricky and needs further improvement.
Retrieving anchor and buoy however works fine.

But see yourself:

Hello,


after some search I found two real offshore buoys at "Shapeways" 3D printing service.
They look much better than the selfmade ones:

Unfortuneatly they are a bit too heavy to carry anchor and chain.
So far for remote handling the "Egg-Container"-version will still be used.
