Tim Fleet was one of the three major adversaries of the SInister Dr. Yo's Sekrit Yo Navy; the inevitable boy genius.
Along with his Rotodiver, SubRocket, and Psychopompic confuser, the Hydrotomic Gyrofoil failed to thwart many of the Dr.'s
science piratical schemes.

I like where this one seems to be going, Doc!
Talk about speed personified!

Welcome aboard, Doc! :smiley:
I see the ships of the Sekrit Yo Navy are still too classified to model ... I can live with that! ;)
Looking forward to what comes forth. 8)

Some progress over the weekend.

I've added some pipes to the engines, placed the retractable foil on the hull, and given the whole a shot of primer to fimnd the
places that need a bit of PSR.
There are some Sekrit Yo Navy projects underway ( or under weigh, if you like ) but both were already either well started, or
all bu finished before the start of the GB. But a quick teaser for their eventual appearance would not go amiss... ;)

It seems there has been much Sekrit activity at the S.Y.N. yards. I need to finish my RF-23 and go spy on them!

Ooh, de-classified SYN stuff! 8)
Gyrofoil is coming along very nicely! :smiley:
-
The hydrofoil looks awesome! It can use the fin to slice open enemy ships, too...
Great use of a Triebfluegel! It took me a while to figure out what the donor kit was. It that one of your resin conning towers?
-
That's cool as the other side of my pillow, Doc!
What a fantastic, unexpected development!

Well, You'll need to find a time machine as well - all of these were built back in the early to mid 1960's. ;)

Thanks - sorry it's taken me so long to get working on the Savannah - I put alclad on the reactor two or three years ago, but
hung up on the prospect of lights, and the foil shapes. Still not entirely satisfied with them, but for the moment, it's pushing along
The Triebflugel is the old Huma kit - it got knocked off a shelf once too often, and by that time the attachment points for the rotor
wings looked like small anthills ( mounds of superglue ) so it went to the spares box. You know how I like the Winnans props, so... ;)
Thanks for all the kind words, colleagues!
-
It's good to see the Savanna is at least not sitting in a box. The tribflugel would make a good Winnans attack ship...

Convert the RF-23 to a big blue box......
Naa, too much PSR
Seriously folks, great imagination going on here. Who cares how long it takes!

Same goes for me....
-
Which 1:48th scale Lindberg kits were the source of your turbo-jet engine shapes? :)
-
The engines are from the X-3 kit. ( Which will eventually form the body of Dr. Yo's Red Swordfish)
-
That Lindberg turbo-jet shape was included in many of the 1:48th scale kits produced by Lindberg. Still have several in the spare parts bag full of unwanted jet engine shapes.

A bit more progress. Basic color.

Just about there. Deciding whether to do the red details with decal or masks and paintTHis is the progress of the last two weekends.

I should be able to get started on the base fairly soon. I picked up a scrap piece of plexiglass and am turning that into
a sea display base. I have some notions...

Thanks, colleagues - much appreciated.

Looks great, and that blue is very nice. The boat looks like it belongs in the Strategic Space Command.

Private boat of the Commander - Strategic Space Command?

A link to the SSC is an interesting notion, and that 'atom punk' aesthetic does dovetail nicely.

Just about there.

The base is two pieces of scrap plexiglass, one given a rough brushing of sea blue before being glued to the top slab, which
was given a layer of water effects. I'm going to attempt a spray effect coming off the foli this coming weekend.

“Atom punk” is a new phrase to me and fits perfectly. Nice work on the base so far. Looking forward to what you do for the spray effect.

That's some nice progress Doc and I like the look of that base!

I like the red trim - it looks like it would be comfortable in either the SSC or Johnny Quest universe.

Colleagues, Friends - thank you for kind words. The spray effect isn't as effective as I'd like - but for a first attempt, I think it shows some promise. The photos show what I was doing.

As you saw in the earlier photos, the foil rests on the plane of the base, with the tinted water effects buiilt up around it. The cut piece of acetate, warped a bit over a candle flame, was hazarded across the trailing edge.

And a roll of 'cotton' gauze glued to the leading edge. I raked water effects across the top and bottom of the acteate, but I'm afraid
my photoraphy skill aren't up to capturing the effect.
And you can view the finished product in the 'Completed' Thread. ;)

Well done Dr Yokai, finished product is impressive and the water effects finishing off nicely.

That's one mighty impressive build, Doc and your outstanding work on the hydrofoil is complimented nicely by that fine watery base!
Fantastic! And fast!

Doing display base this way adds dynamics that bring out true character of Hydrotomic Gyrofoil. Its a moving 8)
