John Allen Posted November 16, 2015 #1 Posted November 16, 2015 Taking a break from shrouds. Have been looking at Occres R/C tug ulises for next build. Will make as a static build, maybe r/c. They state it has a fiberglass hull. Taking in the translation problems on foreign suppliers can someone advise if it is a thin cheap plastic or fiberglass. Thanks John Quote John Allen Current builds HMS Victory-Mamoli On deck USS Tecumseh, CSS Hunley scratch build, Double hull Polynesian canoe (Holakea) scratch build Finished Waka Taua Maori War Canoe, Armed Launch-Panart, Diligence English Revenue Cutter-Marine Model Co.
augie Posted November 16, 2015 #2 Posted November 16, 2015 John- I built the OcCre Ulises Tug for R/C back in 2009 (she's in the Gallery). She has a plank on bulkhead hull. Of course there's every possibility that they've modified the kit but I can't seem to find a fiberglass version.

amateur Posted November 16, 2015 #3 Posted November 16, 2015 On the occre website, it is presented as a plank on frame construction. http://www.occre.com/modelismo-naval/ulises-rc-pack-1.html Jan mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote

Allen Melser Posted July 23, 2021 #8 Posted July 23, 2021 I am building the Ulises. Where can I get a hold of the items necessary for RC operation? Quote
mtdoramike Posted July 26, 2021 #9 Posted July 26, 2021 Depends on what didn't come with the kit. Do you have the drive shafts commonly known as stuffing boxs or tubes, rudders, motor(s) electronic speed controller, servo and battery. You can easily add any where from $150.00-$200.00 to the cost of the build. You will also need to make that decision quite quickly because you will need to seal the interior of the hull while you can gain access, you will also have to fiberglass cloth and resin the hull to water proof it. To me, I would build it as R/C operation even if you don't install running gear, just in case someone else wants to make it operational. mtaylor 1 Quote
mtdoramike Posted July 26, 2021 #10 Posted July 26, 2021 Oh I forgot to mention Dumas.com for quite a bit of R/C stuff. I also buy my motors and speed controllers mainly from Ebay. mtaylor 1 Quote
