His own personal Graf Spee

[Ariecho]

This guy built his own Graf Spee.  OK, you're gonna tell me, so what, many of us have built models of large warships. True, but do you fit in them?  And can you take them for a ride with you inside?  He does.  Check it out:

 

The ship has a registration because it is a passenger boat ...

 

 

 

 

 

Check closer.  You can see his face...

Extremely impressive! thanks for sharing! :). 

[Wolf_Northwood]

That is cool

[NathanFlightLeader]

OMG that is awesome!!

[TheBattleMaster8]

That truly is awsome, if I feel like stealing a boat.......that's the house I am going for ;) you are always providing awsome threads Ari.

[Super_Dreadnought]

+1 Now that guy just has to find some merchants to sink.

[TheBattleMaster8]

^ hehe

[NGTM_1R]

I'm not impressed until you can traverse the turrets and go bird-hunting.

[TheBattleMaster8]

^ Hey, that would be nice. Just, I guess make little swivel turreted BB guns? If you get over how wimpy it sounds, its a good idea.

I want one lol

He should rig the cranes to handle down-rigger weights and use it for fishing.  That's be quality trolling on the river.

My god...i want to see that in action now!

Fishing is not near as good as my idea....or we can just implement both ;) If I could build boats, or had the money to get one specially built then I would do that. Add my BB turret idea, or pellet, paintball etc. and add your fishing idea.....dreams.

Lol, I have one words for that Graf Spee.

 

Badass. 

 

It's pretty epic. XD

[TheBattleMaster8]

Tis a beauty. Cant wait to see what its like in-game.

You guys know the basis for this is just a motorized travelers canoe ( About a 300$ canoe in my area ) right? The hull is nearly the same length as they come in various sizes, it's the shape shape for balance. 

With fancy deckwork built on top out of some light weight material, probably wood and plexi glass.

...

Still cool though, to bad you couldn't take in the waters around my place, she would sink from the boat traffic waves.

I'm glad the builder had time to place some detail onto the ship ;).

As a matter of fact I did know that, but I have neither the money to buy a canoe nor the skill for the rest of the process. I could let go of some money to get this done, but as I said, I don't have much of that.

Now THAT would be fun to watch and try!!

Yeah, did you read my idea for that? Only if we wanted to go bird hunting, BB, pellets or paint balls wouldn't work. They might cause the bird to fall from the sky and maybe break the bird....anyway. Yeah, make little swivel turrets that you go down inside the ship to man and the turret uses like hunting rifles (in the form of cannons of course).

Awesome

[YYismyname]

What do you mean model?  More like a small warship!

[Wolfrum]

That's pretty awesome to see. Someone else in Northern Ontario did it with the Bismark, I'll see if I can find some pictures of that one too. I'd love to have the time/money to put something like that together.

I love that he uses the bridge wings as a handy shelf for his glasses and such. Great find.

Here are more details

 

How it all started

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the link for more information.  Oh, and it seems that there are more people who do this kind of things... Some guy is building a 1/15 (40-foot long) model of the USS Arizona...
