Short Ben Potato Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I saw them, thought of miniature cannons, drooled more, and then the price seared my retinas...and my heart... they are at http://www.rchobby.co.uk/radio_controlled_...l_sailing_.html Now I shall return to seclusion, and lurk for a while. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barber-surgeon Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I've seen the King's Randsom under sail at a few local ponds, but haven't been too impressed with their design. It's something about taking a galleon design and making it far too squat/short along the keel. Good thing the gun ports are mockups and don't open as the one that was sailing a weekend ago would have done a 'Wasa" a couple of times over! And there's just something intrinsically wrong about a pyrate ship being made out of plastic...wrong, wrong--just wrong! "Don't worry, it's not My Blood!"

Rumba Rue Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 It doesn't say on those plastic ones if they work on water. For all I know they have wheels on the bottoms.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the Hamley's one works on water, I'm not sure about the Disney one though, but I'll definitely go have a look at it when I'm in the London Disney store :) House of Secrets Incorporated Fashion and costume design For all your piracy needs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barber-surgeon Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 From the looks of the Disney r/c ship, it's strictly for linolium seas and wooden tides. "Don't worry, it's not My Blood!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HildeKitten Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 From the looks of the Disney r/c ship, it's strictly for linolium seas and wooden tides. I think you're right, I looked at it again and I spotted some wheels on that Oh well, kids have to practise somewhere I guess :) And it's good for people that don't have water or a bathtub near them to sail them in I guess House of Secrets Incorporated Fashion and costume design For all your piracy needs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn_Enigma Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Wheels on the bottom do not necessarily indicate its sea- unworthiness: This one has wheels as well, and still it can float (though not r/c, but motor- powered): "The floggings will continue until morale improves!"
