Making slow progress due to the heat here. Today was milder and so I have fitted the SD and faired the waterline hull junction.

Apparently its going to be hot here for ever - no more winters, just flaming hot weather. Its a lazy 43 C in the shed today but with the forcast stuck on "Scorchio" there was no choice other than to get in there and do it to it. Therefore; the rudder mechanism is finished. This is made up of some old servo gears, some brass rod and a bit of scrap steel.

This gear train is excellent solution. You do great work sir!
If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

Funny you should ask..... I was working on it today. Metal glazed the outside and will wet sand it tomorrow. What color (or color) did you paint the lower portion of the hull?
I believe I have the other areas sealed, so once done with the sanding, I can put all the guts back in and test. I can't thank you enough sir!If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.
