I love this build it's incredible, great work!!

your attention to detail is marvelous and very impressive!

i thought about getting this, should be interesting to watch you build it, have fun!

Wow.. incredible, reallys brings to mind what the ships would of been like in the heat of battle, each gun/deck packed as you see it as you've done, great work  

Beautifully done once again nigel, its not just the looks, but the work and thought put into it which makes it an amazing build, keep it up!

i think its simply because there's more heat = more pressure = more recoil = more momentum, and if the ropes are stopping it from going further back it only has one place to go, much like when a you pull the brakes on a motorbike the back end goes up.

But i'm not a scientist..

a pleasure to see this build here, great work

wow lovely work, looks great!

Lovely work nigel ^^ looks great

lovely work alexandru, do you know what the dimensions of this huge model will be?

absolutely stunning quality inspirational work you're doing on this fine ship, amazing, well done!

Hi, im glad you've started to post your work here, i've been looking at your progress on the russian forum and your work is very impressive!

Hi Admiral,

I think the motor and electrics is the easy bit.Any 380-540 size can motor(model car or boat)would do it,connected through a switch to a mains adapter preferably 6v.I think the hard bits mounting the drill bit.Easy if you have a metal lathe but if you haven't,very awkward.Any lack of trueness will certainly result in broken drills.

Kind Regards Nigel

thanks nigel and a good point, i have plenty of motors its just the main bit to hold the drill, unless i can find some parts laying around from rc cars and helicopters probably easier to just buy one.

They're plentiful and cheap. You can find them easily on eBay. Have a look at http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170803404093?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649. That one's from Hong Kong, but you can find them in many countries, I should imagine.

Thanks Tony i've had a look already but i'd love to just be able to make my own otherwise i'd probably get one if i cant make me own, but im not the best at electronics though i do enjoy it.

I've seen a few of these from a russian model forum and they look quite useful for drilling smaller holes efficiently, sure you could probably use a router but they're a bit big when using 0.5 drills, does anyone have any information on them or how to make one? (images can be found on google 'Diy motor drill' theres a few images to give you an idea of what im talking about https://www.google.co.uk/search?safe=off&q=diy%20motor%20drill&psj=1&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.50165853,d.d2k,pv.xjs.s.en_US.seW1cfrvSKg.O&biw=1152&bih=628&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=wBH9UYTENK7J0AWU7oHYAQ)

i've been looking at your build for a while now, and i think its time to say that your work detail is stunning and the things you come up with are ingenious, true craftsmanship, love it.
