It has been a while, health issues, other projects that had deadlines, and just too many projects. So, I buckled down, found the time, prioritized and came up with a build/complete schedule for partially built projects. This patrol boat project will be built and completed with the partially built (Almost complete 52' MLB Victory).

One of the reasons this can happen is my 3D printer is up and running again. I do not know why just every now and then it stops working correctly? Anyhow , Specifications:

Strange Scale it worked out to be: 1:42.75

Crew should be 40mm in height

Hull: an open-source Coast Guard 140' 3d printed hull with the aft chopped to make it 110' (Hence the "ish" in the title)

Propulsion: two shafted 380 brushed motors w/VEX robotics speed controller.

7.4 Lithium battery for power.

Pictures to follow, firewall where I am takes forever to allow.

Excelsior! Glad to be back to the hobby.

Remember, if you have a battleship feeling I still have free plans available. Not cheesy internet downloads, actual rolled or folded plans.

Yamato
Bismark
Littorio
Richelieu
WW2 LST X2
Arizona/Pennsylvania
Great White Fleet USS Michigan
Also a crazy complex Russian Ship of the Line

Always looking for Post FRAM Coast Guard 378' 1:96 plans, the ones I have are 1:200

Message me if interested. I will cover shipping to the US. Arrangements can be made for overseas.
