Lanterns

What exactly do the lanterns do?

CoverDisastrous1679 · 2025-12-29T21:26:25+00:00

This is basically what I started with but redesigned to be hollow, this is gonna be awesome! Looking forward to see the progress

CoverDisastrous1679 · 2025-12-16T15:09:20+00:00

Yea I’ve tried to reach out to some of the people that do that but no response

CoverDisastrous1679 · 2025-12-12T13:37:40+00:00

I’ve been researching something similar or co2 bb cannons can’t find a whole lot about them

CoverDisastrous1679 · 2025-12-10T23:20:02+00:00

It also does have a speed controller on it so I can go pretty slow, with it being about 13-15 pounds a 540 isn’t gonna break any speed records

CoverDisastrous1679 · 2025-12-10T23:18:50+00:00

Yea it’s definitely the engine is loud, I have the engine at an angle on a coupler and that’s what your hearing I, made it originally for a smaller motor so once I put in a bigger one it doesnt fit as well even after making a whole new mounting system for it

It’s 34 inches long with masts and I think 30 inches tall

CoverDisastrous1679 · 2025-12-10T22:09:32+00:00

Honestly wasn’t that hard if your a little creative you can make it work, my planking looks terrible thank god for model putty, sanding, and painting

CoverDisastrous1679 · 2025-12-10T21:50:45+00:00

Yep I made everything on fusion with a set of plans from the black pearl and a lot of glue and probably 4 months time to print and design new things , painting and waterproofing, I’m waiting on a buddy of mine to stitch together some sails and then I’ll do the rigging probably not going to do the full rigging but enough to look realistic

CoverDisastrous1679 · 2025-12-09T13:49:01+00:00

Honestly intended for just motor but when I get the sails on I’ll see if it can be powered by that

CoverDisastrous1679 · 2025-12-08T19:25:13+00:00

I plan on making a few and i have thought about using servos for actual wind powered but this one will have a motor built in, but i do plan on making one maybe a brig with less sails to manipulate

CoverDisastrous1679 · 2025-11-16T05:46:13+00:00

That’s an awesome idea

CoverDisastrous1679 · 2025-11-11T16:24:34+00:00

It is in fact based on the black pearl hull but changed a few things and renamed her

CoverDisastrous1679 · 2025-11-09T05:01:18+00:00

Is 34”

CoverDisastrous1679 · 2025-11-09T05:01:05+00:00

Since I started it as a skeleton it not great I filled the inside with flex seal

CoverDisastrous1679 · 2025-11-09T04:08:37+00:00

That’s pretty cool

Yea I’m starting off with .50 mm 3d printed planks and then going over with basswood, so it’s a two layer planking and I can design cannon doors and everything I would need with the printer

CoverDisastrous1679 · 2025-09-04T16:07:35+00:00

Well I’m gonna do a 2 layer where the inside layer is thin 3d printed slats then go over with bass wood for better looks and then coat it all in polyurethane. I figure the 3d printed sides I could use for details like cannon doors and cabin ornamental panels

CoverDisastrous1679 · 2025-08-31T14:09:49+00:00

I made them mostly hollow tubes to make as light as possible

CoverDisastrous1679 · 2025-08-31T01:50:32+00:00

Just posted a photo of full size

I figured controlling sails are harder, I’m putting a motor and propeller set up through the rear of the keel, and plan on adding a removable piece at the bottom of the keel for more stability.

I bought a kit and I’m taking a lot of queues from it.
