Richard Dunn Posted October 10, 2021 #1 Posted October 10, 2021 Hello My name is Richard. I have just joined this forum in the hopes to get some help and tips when I need it for my large TEV Wahine build project I am restarting after couple of years and also just to be able to share the knowledge I have on model building after 40 years of building large scale hulls, I have some experience in design of real ships, test tank model production and have done a lot of the 3d design elements of this in Rhino3D professionally. more recently I now do 3d modelling for film and TV but I have never stopped actual miniature modelling either. I now find myself merging the skills I have gained to build models that use accurate 3d design , production of parts using traditional techniques as well as CNC, resin printing and photoetch to create fittings. Not sure how many models in this site are RC but I have been impressed for a while at the standard of the work and a good number of large boats to, which is great to see. A lot of the holes in my knowledge are based around electronics and lighting , although I think once I start fitting out I will be presented with many ideas I had not thought of to. The build I am in the middle of is big and any help I can get will be well received and I will endeavour to provide help also on subject such as 3d drafting of boats from plans or offsets, and accurate ways to build very accurate fair hulls to the standard of test tank models if required, I have considerable experience in the woodwork field as I have said, this includes most of my younger life fitting out super yachts and boat building full size yachts, also guitar building so I am full of tips for high end woodwork and techniques for hull creation. I look forward to doing this build and documenting the process on here. JeffT, mtaylor and Keith Black 3 Quote

As for log here for RC control, just do a search using the key word "radio" and checking the box "content titles only"..
