    My drawings of the ROMEO (excellent dry-dock type) are buried in the storage box in the driveway and I can't get at them right now. I built 10 for a contractor years ago. If I remember, the shafts were near or were parallel to the boats centerline. Those models were of boats built by the Chinese, were being upgraded by Librascope and other outfits, and were to go to the Egyptians'. Each model was a 'gift' presented to the CO of each boat.

    More work on the Dear Leaser's chariot. Getting the basic shape right and starting to fit the appendages.

    Nice work , scott

    As mentioned Fantastic work with or without an imitation plastic hatch plug "dear leader" with obligatory adoring crowds of half starved army soldiers standing on the rear deck creating drag whilst the dear leader tells the sub commander how to do his job because he obviously doesn't know.

    Oh dear..... I have all kinds of inappropriate images flooding my over worked brain. "Hatch plug" might become a new and well used term around my gaff.

    Correction: "Jammed tight in the open hatch". Or, what we used to call a fat guy on the boat, 'hatch-plug'.

    Scott,

    I want one, with or without a fat little bad hair cut on the bridge.

    Your idea of the mesh is brilliant, would have been awesome if that had turned out as you had planned. I don’t have any experience with 3D printing but maybe the resolution wasn’t fine enough, just wild guessing here.

    Bingo! It belongs to my wife - like everything else around here, including me!
