- Visit the North Texas Battle Group's website, ntxbg.org, for more information. We are a Big Gun Model Warship Combat club located in the DFW Metroplex. The ships are 1/144 scale and fire ball bearings using CO2 powered cannons. When the balsa wood armor becomes damaged to the point that the water leaks in faster than the bilge pumps can pump it out, the ship sinks!

I wanna see a game with a model Titanic being chased around the pond by a remote-controlled iceberg.
That video exists
Huh?
How stupid. Just the whole idea.
Funny funny haha if that one exists I want to see it🧊⛴🛳
@@dangerous8333 What else would the internet be for? 🤣
underrated comment
This needs to be a televised sporting event!
for real, from all different ages
Begtter than robot wars for sure.
battlebots will make do for now
or if not televised, at least live streamed over here on CZcams
This was fantastic!! IM a Navy War Vet DD-990 Destroyer. Countless hours on watch me and my crew talked about doing exactly this!! That was back in the mid 90s. I currently live on a remote island in American Samoa. I will find you someday and visit your club. Well DONE!
Think of a big one, 2ft X 15ft, with a single person operating each turret via tele link. Break it into 9 watertight bulkheads for transport. Sheet Metal is easy. R/C boilers too. Video stoker would be interesting crew job.
I would love to see this with ships from the age of sail, where the broadsides would be limited by a randomized timer to represent the training of the crew.
Honestly that wouldnt be much more work then the ones they have just need tiny little motors to help when winds are unfaverable with steering and driving
Or just train tiny fleas to do it, they could shoot grains of rice split into 4 at each other
Its all fun in games until the guy with a RC U-Boat shows up.
ahah
I see what you did there
Daniel M. american like show up you know
With explosive Torpedos. That would not be fun to repair time and again.
I'm going to watch that video now.
EDIT: It was interesting.
A duel between two carrier fleet teams would be awesome! They can partner with people who can retrofit model planes with bombs or something!
I would watch that
oh my god quick get them on the phone while I call the RC Tank battalions this will be a RC war to remember
thekingghidorah93 I would defiantly take part in a battle like that
thekingghidorah93 it would be op fighting planes without aa guns
Explosives are banned in most battles
I'm going broke from seeing all these cool videos of different hobbies that I can jump into. Thanks!
When I was in like 3rd grade my friends and I wanted to do this... That was like 20 years ago. Kinda cool people actually do this
I can see an RC model company start making these ships and then they could develop rules on what you are permitted to do. It would be very big. It could have international competition. Who needs the NFL on the weekends.
Incorporate RC bombers ...big time cool
and it would be ruined, instantly
if you wanna do it, go do it, but no one is gonna hand you a pre built boat to play with
you will need to develop THAT skill set too...
Combines 2 great activities. ....model building and shooting stuff.
Bravo y'all.
Bill.
God Bless Texas! I love it! This takes modeling to another level!
I'd love if this could be done with RC tanks, with cameras for aiming and real damage done to the models.
People do this. Lookup rc tank battles
why cant it be?
@@wrongfootmcgee people do it
That's some SERIOUS Boat Building skills and some SERIOUSLY Big Kids.
And what kinds of toys do you have maybe you wife's toys!
Shut up ! And go home!
Awesome hobby, I wish I had one of these clubs close by! They should make the life rafts serve as the floats- though they may be too small to do any good in recovery.
neat idea for the life rafts
build it and they will come
if you find an rc club and you already have a boat ready to fight, SOMEONE will take you up on it i bet
Oh how this makes me miss being a kid watching Daily Planet with Jay faithfully. Such a great show on a chanel that is no where near it self as it once was in the late 90's early 2000's. Awsome upload
This is the most badass shit Ive ever seen! It looks like a riot!
No a battle.
Not a riot.
😉
aw hell yeah, my grandpa served on the Missouri and was actually there when the Japanese signed the treaty and surrendered on the very same ship!
That is just too cool!!!
You guys have some nice hobby.
I missed the Bismarck or Prinz Eugen or Tirpitz... :)
This vid deserves 100x more views
One of my friends at school used to tell me he had a video (as in a VHS, this was 1996) of some massed RC battle with tanks, aircraft and ships - including to-scale aircraft carriers launching whole squadrons.
But he might have just been making it up XD
I remember something like this myself actually. Barely remember.
Put a thin layer of silicone around the electronic connections and servos they will last a bit longer when they get wet, put some foam in there too, add some fiberglass to the lower hull after every battle, cheap and strong...wow that looks like a lot of fun though...
But then you weigh it down
I would be the one who shows up with a 15 foot model of HMS victory that has 100 9mm cannons on it
I'd show up with a full sized model that shoots 230mm shells
Just show up with the cheapest boat you can build. with a Grenade
Logan Spencer build a ship of the line with 2 decks of cannons and fire all at once
I'd show up with a landing craft with a mounted Gustav railway gun
Logan Spencer are you from Portsmouth
awesome guys, thanks for posting this video! It was alot of fun to watch.
Was I the only guy humming "The Sinking of The Bismarck" while I was watching this?
"When we find the Bismarck, we're gonna put 'er down,"
MrBreeze Johnny Horton died to soon....
Shells as big as trees & guns as big as steers....wait, that sounds kinda backwards?
lol love that song
When I was in highschool in 2007 I talked to my cousins (who build real planes for a living and RC's as a hobby) what it would take for me to build a battleship with working armaments so i could have battles with someone if i could get the idea for fleet battles to gain traction. They said not much but Goodluck finding people who would want to participate. I know this video is 9years old but it's cool to see i wasn't alone in my thought process to see this become a reality. Super cool to watch 😁
This is so dorky. I'm in.
I really enjoyed this..thank you for posting!!
What fun. History on a pond in miniature. AWESOME!!
Well done, great work on those models.
This was fun to watch due in great part to excellent reporting. Thanks.
What a great hobby to have - well done to all involved 👍🏻😁
My one brother had a model of an aircraft carrier that is until me and my other brother put a couple of M80's in it. Lit them and set sail caught a picture of it just as it blew up. This sounds really cool!
This is the coolest thing I have seen in years.
Looks like a lot of fun!!!
One has to wonder how many ball bearings are at the bottom of the water...
Get a big magnet and find out.
One has to wonder how many ships wooden and steel plus artillery from centuries of war are in the big pond. I mean really.
That was the best question you could salvo out there?
Icinesis Wayons relax
Don't do it...when you want to go to it...
They are steel, so they don't really cause environmental damage, as opposed to lead used by hunters or recreational shooters. Real warships have been sunk just to create artificial reefs
if the scale is so imporant they should stick to scale speeds too..make it realistic.
"I'm gonna get you when I reach you in ten minutes!" :P
Where’s the fun in that?
Queef Micester exactly
Im not sure the gun would do any damage at realistic scaled ranges. Im trying to figure out a way to make it happen. Thinner hulls?
Use copper pellets or bbs
I remember watching one of these at Maker Faire back in 2012. That was an absolute blast
That is crazy.. oh man! great battle there!
That's a really great and spectacular event!
I've heard of this, but never seen it. Very cool. If I did it, my ship would be USS Kentucky BB-65.
This looks so awesome!
Additional ideas to try out:
1. Ship Armor - secretly line the inside of the hull with a thin layer of Kevlar backed by thin titanium plates.
2. Ship Flamethrower Gun Battery.
3. Explosive Incendiary BBs.
4. Helicopter Pad for Drone Attack Chopper armed with those firecracker tubes that shoot out multiple sparking projectiles.
5. Ship to Ship Missile Battery (firecracker tubes as above).
6. Ship Laser Gun Battery (Aren't there laser devices that can set flammable materials on fire if they're kept focused on the same spot?).
7. Helicopter Drone armed with a large magnifying lens (only on sunny days).
8. Ship Defensive Missile Battery (shoot down drones with skyward aimed firecracker tubes).
9. Ship BB Machine Gun Battery.
10. Ship Self-Destruct Capability using a single interior BB gun aimed at a pack of tannerite (will also destroy/damage nearby enemy ships).
11. Misc - Submarines, Torpedoes, Depth Charges, Ship Sonar (fishing sonar/radar device vs. submarines).
An RC Kraken to drag them under...
These ideas are dumb
Most of these ideas are banned idiot
@Steve Rogers These clubs work to a set of rules to keep the battling safe, practical, realistic & sensible. ALL of your ideas break at least one of these.
Those little ships are adorable. Sail up to people and they would be like ooohhh look at the cute little sheep until you turned your cannons on them.
@phil mortlock I did that with a scale RAF crash tender. I fitted working fire monitors under servo control, just for realism (HONEST) .
As hobbies go, this looks pretty cool. I wounder though: is balsa wood a rule that you have to make your ships hull out of? Because I can think of lots of sturdier materials.
I guess maybe it's so the guns can actually sink a ship?
Do you just want an I win button and a trophy? We can give just mail you one so you don't even have to show up and we can go back to having fun :3
@@MerchantIvoryfilms take your meds boomer
@@elliswatanabe Take your bleach, zoomer.
@@elliswatanabe Thats great and all, but what else you got?
@@MerchantIvoryfilms don't be such a tool. I just asked you a harmless question lol
So cool! I want to see more! 😊
That would be a really good time..I remember when we took our mini slingers and did aerial demolition derby..was so fun!
Looks like a ton of fun!!
Many many years ago as a younger person spreckles lake Golden Gate park San Francisco On the weekends did this type of activity which was really cool also there was a boathouse where people kept their Model sailboats
This could be so much different with 2022 tech.
GoPro's on the ships for aiming wold be a great start.
kids are so damn talanted about details these days and all the parts available,i want to see more as well
This is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
That looks really fun!
Ammmmmmmmmazing. Torpedos next??? Thanks, Paul
Wouldn't torpedoes destroy the boats beyond repair?
xXTheGamingNinjaXx well, isn't that the point :P
lets get whole battles involved here I wanna see a mini scaled war world 2!!! in action with ships being support.
Coolest thing to do with models... EVER!
Politicians should do this instead of ruining innocent peoples lives.
Nice vid, cool hobby!
I've been thinking of this models in my mind and yes it really exist.
now stick some fpv on those boats and have working gun sights
And do the same to some aircraft.
Wha is fpv?
First person view
FPV is the future : )
Looks pretty awesome.
probably one of the coolest things i have ever seen
That looks amazingly fun.
That was awesome.
Thanks for sharing.✌🙂👌
this makes me think of battle bots. LOVED THAT SHOW
Rare never before seen pre-alpha footage for World of Warships!
This looks so cool wish I had the technical know-how to start this hobby
Chimpus - learn, whats stopping you?? : )
Noone has ever been born with technical know-how, including these guys. It is something they all had to get for themselves, as everyone can. Just read a few hobby magazines, borrow a few books, find a few people to talk to, etc, and it will come. But the biggest thing is just get some balsa wood, a sharp knife & some glue and start playing around, and expand from there.
I bet this is waymore fun then playing video games ... actually heading out to a lake with your friends, tinkering around RC servos etc you learn stuff about electronics, model building, and most of all have real fun.... it would be even more fun if you had artificial islands or some sort of obstacles where ships could take cover or make it more tactics based then spray and pray... maybe a timer based firing mechanism to simulate real "loading" maybe a long range cannon type that could fire from distance etc... interesting hobby.
This is so stinkin' cool! Would it be possible to get a video feed from the gun turrets so you can see where the guns are pointing?
It could be possible but would add weight and you wouldn't want those electronics to get wet or hit
This honestly looks really fun.
That looks fun!
My late Grandad built rc ships. He built the Missouri and what just appears on screen. RIP Chris Shelley.
I ll have the Baltimore class heavy cruiser Uss St Paul. The ship my grandfather served on.
Very nice video and fun to watch. Have a nice day.
Fun, wouldn't the perfect model ship for something like this be the HMS Rodney/Nelson class? 9 big guns, all up front.
Ya true
KlunkerRider Yes - a well aimed full salvo from those two vessels would be devastating . . . . as it's 2017 however the Battle of Jutland of 1917 would be great to re-enact . . . maybe Jellicoe could win convincingly this time . . . of course it would require the commisioning of some new 'Dreadnoughts' etc . . .
totaly neat! thumbs up.
I loved that show it should be reborn~
Definitely my idea of fun! But not widespreadly enjoyed in the UK where I live. Looks like I will have to go on a friend-finder vacation to where these guys are from and take my toolkit with me. Sure I can pick the raw materials to build once there as well as based on what I am advised would be the best or most effective raw materials to use :o) :o)
Looks like a great hobby and a fun time.
This is cool! I need to start a hobby like this.
That looks like tons of fun
Man this would be fun as hell! Time to use some aluminum cans as armor!
You guys should get " Flex-Seal " to be a sponsor for your club.
They could also be in charge of the Damage Control Party.
Looks like a ton of fun.
That actually looks like a lot of fun.
This looks fun af
this is freaking badass
That's awesome!
FUCK YEAH, I want to flipping join but im in Australia, WHY CRUEL WORLD WHY!?
No but seriously, this has to be a ton of fun to do, repairing, not so much.
better australia than finland.... :(
aj stew you can get waterproof electronics or waterproof them yourself.
Start a group there!
There is an Australian battle group go to the video how to construct a rc warship they have a nice little video .
Years ago there was a 144th scale RC boat combat club near Wagga Wagga.
I am north of Dallas so this will go on my Gotta See list
What's going on here??? He sank my battleship!!! The Captains' response is a ships horn blast in place of WHAAAAT?? Actual TV commercial for MB's Battleship game from the 1960's.
That looks so fun.
This is how real wars should be fought.
That sounds like real fun :)
That is pretty awesome. I would like to get a normal model and mod it out to make it rc and airsoft shooting. Yup, my life plan.
Don't mess with Texas, son.
freaking awesome!
That’s awesome!
This is stinking cool!
That's so cool!
Love Texas!!
Throwback to when YT videos served no purpose but to simply entertain.
I went from Illiinois to Texas for this my boat was 3r place 2010
