I’m not an RC gadget expert, but modding static model kits of space ships so that they’re water-proof and can be RC-controlled to make them then “fly underwater” seems like a very, very geeky thing to do to me. Take this 1\/350 scale replica of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A space ship from Star Trek, for example.<\/p>\n
Some person<\/a> [JP] in Yokosuka, Japan, bought the static kit and transformed it into a space ship that can move and be RC-controlled underwater. The people belonging to the “underground” circle of these self-made gadgets call themselves “Aqua Modelers” and meet up on a regular basis<\/a> [IT] to exchange ideas and show off their works each year. The last one apparently just took place a couple of days ago.<\/p>\n See the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A in action in the video below:\n<\/p>\n Another example of the aqua model craziness can be seen in this video where we see an awesome 1\/350 scale replica of the Space Battleship Yamato<\/a> floating around underwater:\n<\/p>\n Unfortunately, these models aren’t for sale.<\/p>\n Via Modellismo Hobby Media<\/a> [IT]<\/p>\n Thanks to Francesco Fondi<\/a> for the tip!<\/em><\/p>\n
