Made those disks from plexiglas, in total 6, 4 some bigger for the bulkheads and two smaller to create a ballasttank.<br />

Test fitting the smaller disk inside the tube, creating the bulkheads will take some glueing and work on the lathe.<br />

			<content:encoded>Just completed my first sub 3d print, a Los Angeles Class 688.  I worked on subs for 35 years at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine and I specifically worked on the Groton for 1 year on a special project.  Lots of fond memories. The print came out beautifully and I hope my paint job did her justice.  She looks great on my man cave wall. I printed her full size, about 5 feet long, and it took about 60 hours total print time.  The stand also came from the ND and I added a nameplate to say it was the SSN 694. </content:encoded>
