Default Super low budget destroyer-ish build...

New to rc boating, looking to build a "can I do it?" simple boat on the cheap...

This will be loosely based on a us navy destroyer, something like the uss Cole. The plan is to use stuff I have lying around, or stuff I can get for free, as much as possible, and build a reasonably decent looking ship. She will be roughly 3' long and 5" wide, about 1:144 scale.

I sort of have a plan for the hull using a re-claimed hollow core door, and scrap plywood for reinforcement and bulkheads.

I will worry about electronics and such after seeing if I can succeed in building the hull...
