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 just finished building the Vengeance today, here she is! Not a 1:1 recreation of the Warspite, just inspired, as said~ cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/453585653163229205/722204121733529781/unknown.png

There's something sort of poetic about this model ship crashing into stuff as she did back in the day.
The most accurate model to date
thank you for your comment. i have a playlist of the warspite and his italian cruiser roma video's
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....
I love that ship. A fantastic model of the Grand Old Lady, well done! If only they had listened and preserved her, what a legacy.
they should have preserved her or even the Vanguard.
@@rcmodelwarships6893 if you think that's a shame you should see the state of the current warpsite!
A beautiful model of a very famous warship .
im glad you enjoyed the model, i have a playlist on my channel with more of his work.
Beautiful RC model. Congratulations
im glad you enjoyed the model, i have a playlist on my channel with more of his work.
That's very impressive. Congrats
I did some quick math. If this ship had working guns to scale, this human-sized model should be able to shoot ~466 yards (426 meters). Its just stunning to me, how powerful the guns were.
im glad you enjoyed the model, i have a playlist on my channel with more of his work.
RC Ships are so cool. I wouldn’t mind getting one of RMS Olympic in her Dazzle camo with her 2-pounder, 4.7-inch gun and her six 6-inch guns.
i think there is someone building one of them
One of my favorite builds .Such a gem.
im glad you enjoyed the model, i have a playlist on my channel with more of his work.
A really great model some hours and hard work gone into it I worked in South yard at Devonport where the original ship was built.
im glad you enjoyed the model, i have a playlist on my channel with more of his work.
A beautiful model of a famous ship. I like the smoke and powered turrets. As others have mentioned it's a shame HMS Warspite was not turned into a museum ship. HMS Iron Duke would have been a good choice as well.
i agree, though in the UK we do have HMS Belfast which is better than nothing. There is a 1/96 model of HMS Iron Duke built by Geoff Dixon featured on my channel which has working turrets
Colin Vass has also built a 1/72 scale Italian cruiser Zara, which you may find of some interest.
Fabulous. One of My grandads old ships, manning the guns. He was a royal marine based in Portsmouth.
interesting history
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 .
im sure when colin looks through these posts he will take it into consideration.
I would like to have a rc model of her someday
so would i but maybe not that big
Warspite goes out and immediately gets hit by another boat…historically accurate
im glad you enjoyed the model, i have a playlist on my channel with more of his work.
Magnificent job
im glad you enjoyed the model, i have a playlist on my channel with more of his work.
You know why ships are called "she". Noisy but beautiful!
Fine work.
i noticed she was a bit noisy. i was told that some of the electrical and mechanical parts have been in the ship for over a decade and need an overhaul.
RC Model Warships - all part of keeping her ship shape I suppose. I meant the recordings really - not my thing!
The grand old lady would be proud of you
its a shame the government didnt keep her
Building a French pre-dreadnought battleship in 1/72 scale at the moment complete with a ram bow. This confirms my fears about not being able to stop and collisions! I'm hoping I dont sink too many boats....
we told people so many times to stay clear but they just didnt listen. good luck with your build. are you in the uk? are you a member of any fb model boat groups?
@@rcmodelwarships6893 in the UK, not members of any groups, I'd appreciate any good ones to join. Done a revell Corvette and got a working steam tug too.
@@roryjamesscammell go to model boat mayhem group for a start.
I LIKE THIS ONE!
im glad you enjoyed the model, i have a playlist on my channel with more of his work.
So a beautiful ship 😊
im glad you enjoyed the model, i have a playlist on my channel with more of his work.
Wonderful model, scale speed of 200 knots.
im glad you enjoyed the model, i have a playlist on my channel with more of his work.
Great looking ship. Where did you sail her? Also, I liked and subscribed.
a lake near aylesbury UK
thnkyou for you subscription
Gob-smacked by parts 1 - 3 ... now we find you have smoke and fog horn !!
im glad you enjoyed the model, i have a playlist on my channel with more of his work.
Very impressive. I just hope wherever you keep it is REALLY secure, because the more work that goes into anything like this the more effort the barely-human section of society will put into destroying it.
its kept in a special built trailer in a secured area.
GQ GQ Collisson
What a great model! Did you consider creating another version of the Old Lady but with 1916 look ? I know that HMS Warspite is known mostly from WWII but she fought in Jutland with her sisters as a brand new ship. It looked totally different that days.
est cost?
its not for sale. and i think when it gets to much for the owner it will end up in a museum
Playing 'chicken' with the Warspite is not a good idea ;)
im glad you enjoyed the model, i have a playlist on my channel with more of his work.
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.
I think he now sails at another lake.
Worst tier ship in game !
i sent this video to jingles to show on his world of warship playlist, but got no reply
Semblants de bruitages NULS À CH... et vitesse beaucoup trop élevée pour un modèle réduit de cette échelle ! 👎🏻 👎🏻 👎🏻
PAS RÉALISTE COMME ÉVOLUTION 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Sounds like ZERO sound at CH ... and speed much too high for a model of this scale
NOT REALISTIC AS AN EVOLUTION hope this translates ok.
Pauvre con!
