wow thats 2 very nice builds. I did enterprise in 1:350 that was a fair size. On enterprise are you going for the old bridge or the new bridge. Did you have an stability problems with her as her flight deck is a lot wider than her hull. Great builds keep up the good work.

Hi  there  John

Thanks  for  the  message,  I  bought  a  1:350  model  kit  ( Tamiya )  and  I'm  using  this  as  my  plan  so  its  the  old  version,  Yes  she  was  VERY  unstable  BUT  she  now  has  4 x 2kg  Mocad  motors,  1 x 10kg  12v  Golf  trolley  battery,  1 x 2kg  6v  battery,  23kg  lead  as  ballast  +  the  weight  of  her  hull,  BUT  in  a  stiff  breeze /  wind ( common  in  Ireland )  I  still  have  to  be  careful  and  sometimes  increase  the  ballast  as  the  deck  is  30"  wide  with  an  overhang  of  around  8 - 10"  on  either  side.  More  pics  to  follow  as  she  takes  on  her  shape / fittings / accessories.
