I have seen this done a few times online and figured it would be a quick turn around; I was wrong. Every time I think I have it licked, another problem arises. I am at two pumps, one motor, two micro switches and three servos. I do not have batteries or cooling for the motor figured out.
But when I get tired of my scratch builds I go back to this. I did my math and six vessels await my attention plus these two fine examples. Then, I start looking at plans for another one. I may have a problem.
Latest picture is the ballast tank sealed with fittings.

Working on making the static ship radio control. Props, shafts and struts installed. I have a huge 6 volt battery that should keep this thing cruising for a hour. Tried to put the props scale, but just did not work, it will be under water anyhow. Rudders go in next.
Paint on to see where some fill is needed as well as to see what the finished product will look like.

Build started a month or so ago. Scratch build from USCG plans from CG museum Northwest. Basswood frame, strip construction, polystyrene super structure. Props are for show right now, but it will steam someday.

Had these plans for a few years now 15 or so. The real ship is in Davy Jones' locker sunk by the US Navy. So I will resurrect her to steam again. I have never seen a working model of her. This will be my second attempt.
