Not quite a battleship, but I made a gunboat a few years back.  Does that count?...

That's ugly and brutal, but in a very beautiful way  

Another masterpiece of making gold from junk. I love it!

[Geudens]

thx, guys.  Actually, it was easy to make and so would a larger one be.

1. Go to the toy shop (best time = spring, summer)
2. check out the Super Soaker section
3. pick one you fancy
4. saw off the handgrip
5. turn it upside down and have a good look at it
6. put aside for a while
7. repeat steps 5 & 6 a couple of times  
8. plunder your bitbox and keep some plastic card, strip, washers, the lot (you know   ) at hand
9. Action!: "camouflage" the area where the grip was attached (I mounted the open bridge there)
10. build, build, build.... (I left the pump mechanism as it was, it enables the tail to be lengthened and the fins to turn around their axis)
11. when finished (or so you think...) repeat step 7 again a couple of times...
12. Prime the model (you never know about plastics & acrylics...)
13. Sit back, lit up a cigar and pour yourself a single malt (that's what I do: I really do HATE this hobby, but it's a good excuse to get  )
14. Post it on LAF...

Easy, not?
Have a go at it...

Rudi, easy for you and easy for me are two very different things... 

You're right, though. Funnily enough, my son has some old water guns that mysterously seem to have broken during the winter.....

Fortune smiles at you...   I'm not that lucky: my son is 38 (no more water guns to be found there) and my granddaughter is just 4 months...

Thank you...  Perhaps so, but...  I would prefer to belong to the catagory of some people have the money...

Geudens, please, do make a post with the images and your step-by-step in the sticky. It deserves a place there immortal!

*ahem* Long time, that is.

Here is another photo of the first production prototype on a makeshift stand:



So it would appear that the basing isn't going to be terribly high.

Bunch more (and far better) photos at the link I posted at the beginning of the thread.

I must admit I am liking the look of these, hope it doesn't end up costing the earth when it comes out
