Battleship Richelieu

4,252 Droslash  8.3 years ago

My reproduction of the French WW2 Battleship Richelieu. I tried to make it as close to reality as possible (I had to downscale a front turret)
This is my biggest and most complex creation so far.

Top speed is about 15mph.
Activate the Propeller Rotators with Group key 1.
It takes a long time to turn be patient. (it is very heavy, you won't do sharp turns with it)

Hope you enjoy!

    @IanAndEndy1124 the parts on the bottom are full of fuel. so i guess that's why.

    @UnknownNate Yes, its not very fast or maneuverable. The issue is that it is way too heavy. But it looks good ^^

    @PlanesAndThings The best thing is that i managed to do it in one day. But i spent my whole day doing it though. I don't think i will do another build this large til a long time.
