HI Garry WOW well you have done well if you have looked through most of the build an i hope you enjoyed the build an yes it would take about a week or so lookin at a few pages at a time to look through most of the build as even i dint think it would go this far but still quite a bit more to come im afraid as this is the one of the most complex build ive EVER done about on par with my USS NIMITZ CVN 68 SUPER CARRIER build that took 7 yrs to build but im hopeing this one will be done in 5 yrs as its been nr 3 yrs build alreadyChris, I have spent the last week going through your build from the very beginning, and read most of it, but am fascinated by all the build pictures which speak a thousand words to me..
It has peaked my interest in this type of build, not that my skill levels would manage what you are achieving though, and my electronics knowledge is somewhere in the non existent realm. I am able to wire plugs though
Perhaps a smaller build might be more suitable for me to consider cutting my teeth on?
Where does one find the plans for this type of build?
Unfortunately I don't have the supplier base that most of you fine modellers/makers have in your part of the world, which may present a challenge, but I will investigate further as to what might be available here.

An if you do wish to have a go at a smaller build than the company i bought my plans from ( i'll put the address of them in a pic below in a moment where you can contact them if you want a small plan as they do most plans in 1/128th scale an 1/96 th SCALE ) as i had my 1/72 scale plans done specialy an boy did it cost but worth it as without them i could not have built tiger in 1/72 scale an im really pleased at how its comin on
But Garry if you do get a smaller plan for a ship you like to build then the golden rule is always think ahead an regards eletronics im not very good Garry all these wires that you see are just circuts an jump circuts with a gadget that you want to power in the circut an some fuses boxes an a relay or two but most of the stuff you will need is made by a manufactuer an its a simple postive an negitive feeds so in reality its easy although ive made light on things but there are a few areas where you may need help with but im on here an i will help you if i can but in a small ship there wont be much of anything as you can make it simple eg. batt' fuse box' ESC' an motors ' so its simple mine is only complex as i wanted a few thing to work but ive made a small mine sweeper called HMS KELLINGTON for a lady freind an its about 18inches long in 1/96 scale from a deans marine kit in three months so if you dont want to build the hull thats the way to go with a kit SORRY to ramble on lol
anyway the address where i get my plans from is below ATB TO YOU SIR
