Martin,

Is this another impulse buy off Ebay that you're trying to cover up? A futuristic tug maybe? What's "it" called? Don't tell me ... "Smit Zeppelin".  {-) {-)  {-)

How much are you asking for it? Does it have a bow thruster?

Seeing the fact that water is much heavier then air and the weight of the substance that is moved by a propeller is very important for its effeciency i can tell you this really won't be build in real.
The idea is pretty cool however, but really not effecient.

Hello all,

This model is called 'Dolomedes' - the water spider. It was built by one of our best and very experienced modellers in our ship model club. It was designed and built all by himself over many years. It is built using wooden planks has a lot of electronics in it for prop control lights and in its latest state even with a small helicopter landing deck from which the taking of of the helicopter is simulated.

While our main club site (http://www.askweb.ch) is currently down due to a technical problem you may want to have a look at our video page. In the second part of the following movie you can see the Dolomedes sailing: http://www.youtube.com/user/RetoFor#p/u/10/reKF-XrW66o

Enjoy the other videos in our channel on YouTube too: http://www.youtube.com/user/RetoFor

Bump...

I really like ekranoplans, would be good to do a model of 1 but I think I'll have to leave that a few years, or decades!

There is an article by Ashley Needham on building a military version of the  Ecranoplan  on the Model Boats website: http://www.modelboats.co.uk/news/article/the-caspian-sea-monster-ecranoplan-orlyonok-a90/8657

I saw it in action a couple of weeks ago and it performs very well.

Hey look I found in Ships Monthly magazine!


http://uglyships.wordpress.com/2011/03/30/city-of-st-petersburg/

City of St Petersburg
 IMO 9473456

"Build : 2010 by Kyokuyo Shipyard Corporation – Shimonoseki in Japan, nr 493

While busy restoring all the lost links to the pictures on the rest of the website I kept stumbling over pictures of this vessel and while I initially decided to first finish that hugh job of restoring the inspiration was held back by nothing so I just had to write something about her."

Maybe a silly question, but when people make models of liners they tend to be so top heavy and unstable it usually involves a massive keel with a lot of lead at the end.  They also tend to roll badly and get blown around with the wind.
 
If model liners behave like this, how safe are full size cruise liners in any kind of seaway ?
