A remote control boat works by using radio-controlled technology to transmit signals from a handheld transmitter to the boat’s receiver. The transmitter sends commands that tell the boat’s motor and steering mechanism what to do. Once the signals are received by the boat, the receiver processes them and sends them to the motor and steering mechanism, which control the boat’s movement on the water. Remote control boats come in different sizes and types, with some designed for racing or recreational use.

Most battleships are detailed, but you want their aesthetics to resemble the real thing. Make sure that the boat detailing matches the make and model of the historical battleship before purchasing it. The Cannon Stu from Tabletop Terrain has built a ship from balsa wood (see here and here). This is a great example of what is possible when making your own ship.

The material and dimensions of the propellers of a boat make a huge difference in its speed and durability. Boat propellers shouldn’t be too flimsy as they will struggle to push the water and propel the boat. The Ship’s Motors Thomarillion offer a number of boats and most notably the caravel(produced as a hard foam model by Ziterdes, similar to their buildings). While the caravel hull looks somewhat unspectacular by itself, Stefan Weil proves that you can make a beautiful ship out of the base model by adding further accessories and painting it up nicely.
