I know RC warships are a niche market and I don’t expect to get many subscribers but if you come across this video please like and then share in any model groups you may belong to or to people you feel may be interested. Many thanks.

Warship models have been an interest since teens , biggest I have made was a Trumpeter ARIZONA , but for sailing they need to be BIG don't they ? a 12" warship just looks silly .This Warspite is gorgeous , Thanks for sharing . We are a model club in Pembs . (PS they should learn to keep out of the way !! She's not supposed to turn like a tugboat .)

I love the concept of RC model ships in general. I would love to indulge in a replica of RMS/HMT Olympic myself, but the price is the only setback.

@@Aelvir114 Yes it's a great hobby , only problem a lot of us are getting quite old , it's that "ouch" feeling when you lean over to launch your boat ! Colin , he's got no chance without the trailer !! Try and find a local club and go along and talk to them , we love to talk about model boats. Best Wishes from Wales .

A niche market that I am one hundred percent into. Infact, I'm playing a game called from the depths which i am currently building a ship which is inspired (but not a copy of) the Queen Elizabeth class battleships such as the Warspite, post 27 refit, and the IJN Kamikaze as a 1:1 recreation - I haven't got the money to do it as proper model ships so I make do with building them in games instead.

I've done an french pre-dreadnought at 1/72 and braking and steering is slow at best. 35kg of ballast doesn't help. I'm worried that at some point I'll damage someone else's model, as people don't understand how bad of an idea it is to get in front of me....

When over taking , always go a stern ! Re the weight problem, have you thought of water ballast ? Using a electric pump on board to pump into internal tanks when launched. So as to lower the water line , and pump out at the end of the day . It would lower the weight and make it lighter to carry .

Not much regard for the rules of the road in this pond. The second collision was the Warsprite's fault. Should have passed behind the coaster. The first one was just an idiot with a toy boat. I would be very selective where and with who I sail a model of this nature. It looks like it lost the portside anchor in the first bump. Damage like this is not okay. These parts are extremely hard to replace and damn expensive.
