Sobre este barco
HMS Victorious....Circa 1941.
Based on a Fleetscale hull.Scale 1/128.
I started her some 5 years ago and it really has been a long job because of other projects which I prioritised.Thus it has been an on and off project.Still a lot to do in most area’s,so she is a long way off being finished with a lot of errors to rectify and modify.
Front lift goes up and down.
Rear turrets all turn.
Has a water steam smoke effect boiler.
Working bilge pump,plus more.
I also want to get the lifting crane to rotate, any ideas anyone, space is not at a premium?
Started on the Island only recently.
Had a trimming sail just prior to lockdown.She weighs a ton 🤔
This lockdown has boosted work much to the wife’s annoyance 😂😂
Will try to keep on top of this project now.
Regards Bill

GoBilda servos might serve you for your crane. fully proportional, they are capable of 300 degrees of rotation with a servo expander. Out of the box they give around 200 degrees or more, depending upon your radio.
ere I shuffle off this mortal coil😊
(Alas! Poor Yoric ... he's shuffled already!🤔)
😁😎
As always Doug you raise a smile 👍

PS.
Sorry Doug forgot to say great picture of your Graf spee 👍
That's an innovative and effective looking crash barrier you've given her Bill.
But shouldn't it be more up the sharp end? 😁😁
😎
Not the same as on the pond but better than nothing.
Take care and stay safe everyone.
Bill.
Thank you for the kind comments and thoughts on crane.
I will be investigating the ideas,which are sound.
Such a wealth of knowledge on this site 👍👍.
Sorry Ron I didn’t take any on the trim test as it was all a bit rushed,but I do have one somewhere I will dig out and post.
Roll on normality.
Bill
Cheers, Pete
1/128! 160cm. Same scale as my Graf Spee, 145cm.
Shame we don't live closer to sail them together.
I'd have to beef up my Flak battery first though😉
Ref rotating crane:
Can't you use the same mechanism as you used for the gun turrets?
For the guns on my destroyer I just used an old servo with a cog mounted on it.
Smaller cog on the turret shaft to extend the travel arc to +/- 120°.
Motion transfer from X to Y turret by 1to1 pulley.
Use a hollow tube for the pivot axis and you could also fit a small winch motor underneath, drum on a slow geared motor, and run a twirl cord through the tube to raise the jib😊
Operate via Left Stick or pot as Martin says.
Cheers, Doug 😎
On wonder she weighs a ton.
You have done a fantastic job so far.
I look forward to future updates.
As for the lifting crane how about a 360 servo with limit switches fitted and operated using a pot on your Transmitter.
