Hey there Just another Aussie from down under, down under (Tassie) joining this great forum. I have been building rc model boats for about 15 years and saw the BIS on tv and thought, must give it a go. I am still waiting for the first issue (we are a bit behind down here). Has anyone looked into lighting her up and giving a her smoke generator? Cheers VIPER

Hi Viper, Welcome aboard m8, note that you have plenty of experience of building rc boats. This is my first effort but pleased to say that with the help of this forum, all is going well. Hope you get your issues sorted out quickly. Due to inexperience, am only building static model but have thought about putting lights in and making main turrets turn.
Regards Napoleon

HEY There Napoleon Have you had any thoughts on what types of lighting you would use? i am toying with the idea of optical fibre, I have never used it before but have seen it done and it looks good. How are you going to make turrets turn. Cheers Viper

Hi Again Viper,
For lighting was toying with using led's and for turning the turrets, check out on this forum:
Modifications & Corrections, Turret Anton, Page 2. I will most likely follow this method.
Cheers Napoleon
