Can you build a massive, ride-on scale model battleship on a budget? In this video, we build a giant 25-foot manned Bismarck battleship from scratch using plywood, Coroplast, and a real 12V boat trolling motor converted to RC—all for around $400!
This beast features a dual-control setup: it can be operated from the outside using a standard RC transmitter, or controlled completely from the inside helm using a live FPV camera feed. To make it a true warship, we even engineered it to shoot real fireworks from the main turrets!
