You can't sink me Ice. You will be too busy getting your boat from the bottom.

Just when you think you know the answers, I change the questions.

If we pin the Calif between both Bismarck's we can turn Paul into a "VienerSchnitzelle" I think that was spelled right.

Dude have you ever seen a butterfly float on the water? Totally helpless can't move just like the Tennessee will be. Bees can't sting when their drowing in the water doh!! lol

And here it is out of the box. They had to open it at the airport as it was too big to put through their oversize baggage scanner. Not a scratch on it.

They should have stood it upright in a body scanner. They would have seen that it had no GUTS!

Now the guts have been ordered. The hardware kit has been ordered. I think I will do the internal lay out before attaching the deck. I am looking at 2 6v 12 Amp drive batteries. Now tom find a co2 bottle. I see a 9oz at walmart and i will probably take it to Banshee Paintball and see if they can get an on/off valve attached.

Rough the guns in also as they end up changing the location of other things.

I will keep that in mind. Once I get the plans blown up I can get a better feel on where somethings should go like pump and cannons.

Before you sheet Paul get the basic internals installe fist such as the Drive shafts and motors and Pump along with the battery and Tank servos so you can see what cannosns to install and how they will be installed based on where the Mags lie in relation to the equipmpent inside.

My plan is to mark out layout in the bottom of the hull for batteries, drive motors, shafts, pump, and bottle. Once that is done i will mark the deck for where the turrets should be located. and check to see where the mags are located. Of course I do have to get the plans blown up to 144 scale

Hey Paul if you want you can use this thread to track your progress and post pics of your construction. Chris Osborne is very intersted in going too. He mentioned about the possiblity of bringing the Seylidtz down.
If we contact Craig and Russell. Craig has a Graf Spee that he could build. Russell could bring Romal.

Oh I defiantly will be posting the build here. The good news is that the hardware kit is on it's way. I will be using a 9oz bottle. Banshee will have some on/off valves later this month. I got a 9 oz from walmart for about 30.

A 9 oz should do a good job. You could always drop a 12 oz in,  the Cali has plenty of room for it.

more gas isn't a bad thing, especially if you are needing weight.
