RE: Radio Controlled Amphicar
Why is it that everytime I post something on rc universe, I get all these spam emails from hookers the next day? Everytime. I may be done with rc universe.

RE: Radio Controlled Amphicar
No, I'm not a member of twitter. Oh well. I don't have any pictures of the bottem during construction, but I did take some today. As you can see, there arn't any traditional rudders. It steers on land, and in the water, with the front wheels. If you have seen any of my youtube videos, you can see it steers remarkably well!

I still have all the photos I took of a real Amphicar we had at work. I used these a lot when I made my model. If anyone needs a picture of a certain area, chances are I have it. Just let me know.

Hi Kevin,
When you built the body did you have a template? or did you just kind of carve it out yourself?
Thanks

RE: Radio Controlled Amphicar
Hi Bob
I took a photo of the real Amphicar from the side. I then printed it out on a big piece of paper. Then, I measured that, and doubled the measurements on to cardboard. That became my side pattern. I rounded up the measurements slightly, just to make the math easier. Everything else was done by eye to match up with the side pattern.
