HI all
Just wondering i plan to construct a floodable dry dock i just need some plans to get the basic hull shape and then i can make a prototype and then i can make a scale version with details but to start with ill make just a basic hull that floods and a small Sboat can drive in and then unflood and the gates close behind it any ideas on how to construct it
Many Thanks

Hi Jonjoe,

maybe a bit unusual, but have a look at [link=http://www.miniatur-wunderland.de/]the world´s greatest digital model railroad[/link] in Hamburg/germany. They have a working dry dock in the scandinavia section.

Greetings from germany,

Years ago I was going to build one.............. but you know how that goes.

I was going to use a 12v bildge pump to pump the water in and out. Small, inexpensive and will pump a fair amount of water.
