RC Boom boat or Dozer boat boot

thingiverse

I created my own 1/30 scale boomboat/dozer boat design after being dissatisfied with a 1/18 mini tug boat kit I purchased (available on Banggood/Ebay). The kit was lacking several parts and had a wooden hull that didn't match the ABS deck/house, which were in different scales. It was a total disaster. I decided to take matters into my own hands and design/build my own boomboat. Although it's not complete yet, I'm now printing the components. I'll be sharing the Auto-CAD drawings so you can make changes or add your own features. The boat measures approximately 21cm in length and 10cm in width. Have fun building this model, and if you create one, please send me a picture. I'll post updates here as they become available. Here are some project updates: August 16: Made several adjustments to the deck house and roof. August 16: Repaired gaps in the hull-3. August 26: Performed a float test, and the hull's buoyancy capacity is 320 grams. August 28: Coated the hull with epoxy, sanded it, and applied filler. August 30: Painted the hull, assembled various parts, installed a servo and motor. I'll update the ACAD file and STLs in the coming days. September 3: Updated the Acad file to version 1.3 and extracted all STL files from the new file. September 14: Added extra components; not satisfied with the door design. I'll update the Acad file soon. September 24: Shared new pictures of the boat and updated Acad impressions. I'll update the Acad file and add STL files for the new parts in a few days. September 28: Updated the Acad file to version 1.4, added new STL files, and included a DFX file for laser cutting wood and window components. The chemical container used in the wheelhouse is from Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2212888), while the safety buoy used in the wheelhouse comes from Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2952303). October 20: Added bumper tires (not original, but I like them). You can find them on Banggood (https://www.banggood.com/Orlandoo-Hunter-135-OH35A01-Tyres-Tire-OHTE27104-RC-Car-Parts-p-1136073.html?cur_warehouse=CN). July 27, 2019: On request, I uploaded the STL file for the boat stand. This is my final update; the project is now complete. Good luck with building this model!
