Cosmos Cradle On the Beach
The model was commissioned to give the owners of the original Full size Cosmos ( by Lloyd's Ships ) a full understanding of what to expect with the newly proposed Cosmos 2 . Unfortunately the project never got underway for two reasons . The first reason was the shipyard owned by the Qintex group ( under the control of the late Christopher Skase ) , went through a turbulent time and several changes of ownership . The second reason was of course , the price tag ( $50,000 000 ) . At nearly 200 feet it would have been Australia's largest and most expensive private boat ever built . The original Cosmos ( at just under 100 feet ) is still considered one of Australia's most luxurious and recognizable private vessels . Having featured in movies and life style shows , it was the first boat of it's size to have a fully operational private Heliport . Cosmos set the standards for all mega yachts to come .
Features
Cosmos 2 ( the model ) is highly detailed . You will note from the photo's the model has three main Decks . With a fourth deck area recessed for the Helicopter Pad . The Helipad has an electric motor driven by D size batteries . This motor and battery system are hidden underneath the pad (out of view) . A drive shaft from the Hughes 500 D Helicopter fits into a key way shaft receiver in the deck . This mechanical drive then turns both the Main rotor and Tail rotor blades together .
It is also interesting to note that since Cosmos 2 completion , the world of Micro R.C helicopters has come of age . With great luck , the general size of some micro heli's sold today are actually within the correct scale of the ship . One example would be the micro heli ' Robins ' by Esky . This micro is so stable , that it should be possible to do real take off and landings from the flight deck of this mega yacht .
I am thinking of Remote Controlling it ( the history is interesting )
At one stage it was fully setup for remote control operation. However the model is not currently equipped with R.C gear or a motor . Originally it was powered by a 3 hp chain saw petrol motor. The motor had a clutch and belt drive system that ran two pulleys at the end of the shafts .The pulley wheels are still in position and ready to receive a standard automotive V belt . The original 3 hp motor gave it a brilliant top speed of approximately 10 to 15 km/h . The brass propellers and shafts are still moving freely and have never given any problems . Both rudders move freely and have servo rods and horns ready in place to be driven by standard servos .

This Cosmos flower from the garden, looked better this way than 'frontal'...
So, I 'profiled' it!
For years I 'experimented' in the studio, to get that Flemish painter's light? Well, I was born in Flanders, it must be in my blood? LOL.

SN/NC: Cosmos Sulphureus, Asteraceae Family
Cosmos is native to scrub and meadowland in Mexico where most of the species occur, as well as the United States, as far north as the Olympic Pennsula in Washington, Central America, and to South America as far south as Paraguay. One species, C. bipinnatus, is naturalized across much of the eastern United States and eastern Canada. It is also widespread over the high eastern plains of South Africa, where it was introduced via contaminated horsefeed imported from Argentina during the Anglo-Boer War.
Chochopali, girasol amarillo, mirasol amarillo, San Miguel, sochipal, suchipate, cempual, sumpual (Martínez, 1979). En Nicaragua: cambray. En el Bajío es usan los nombres de aceitillo, flor de San Francisco, rosilla amarilla y fuera de ésta zona se llama chuchupal, flor de vida, y San Miguel.
Esta especie muy decorativa acompaña a muchos caminos en el trópico mexicano, especialmente en la cuenca del Río Balsas. También es una ornamental importante fuera del país, y en algunas regiones una especie invasiva.
O cosmos, também conhecida como cósmea, é uma planta que apresenta folhas finas muito divididas e caules bastante ramificados, o que lhe confere uma aparência delicada e incomum. Apesar disso, é uma planta resistente e dependendo das condições de cultivo e da variedade cultivada, pode chegar a ultrapassar os 2 m de altura, embora normalmente atinja de 30 cm a 1 m de altura. Seus capítulos florais, que têm de 5 a 10 cm de diâmetro, podem ter lígulas (“pétalas”) de cor rosa, vermelha, violeta, branca e tons intermediários. Apresentando um aspecto mais interessante quando plantado em grupos, o cosmos pode formar maciços no jardim, ou pode ser cultivado junto a muros e cercas. As cultivares anãs podem ser facilmente cultivadas em vasos e jardineiras.

These have to be one of my favorite flowers. The colours are so beautiful. I love the dark pink ring around the yellow center.
