    Thks David.......I need A LOT more experience before I have a go at this........you have to know exactly what you are doing regarding the thickness of the gelcoat, resin, and laminates that will be applied on the other non-lip part of the hull. Then and only then you can you can determine the offset of the thin indexing board.

    I should have known there is no hocus-pocus way to do this………just practice.

      Horse-****! It's easy: indent the lip 3/32" to the hull master (the ideal wall thickness of r/c submarine hulls) and when you eventually lay up your other hull half in its tool you either grind the inside to a wall thickness of 3/32" or lay up the required strips of glass to achieve the desired wall thickness. With practice you quickly determine the weight and number of laminates to achieve that wall thickness.

      No sweat, Bart.

      Man! That VICTOR-3 is shaping up, pal.

        Easy for him: difficult for us. Look out Bart. I sense a challenge coming on.

              When I say high detail, I actually mean HIGH DETAIL.
              One of the SOKS censors (yes I went over the top, yes I’m crazy)
              Pictures were taken with the macro setting of the camera, dimensions are in mm.

              All credits to "the machine"

                Concentrating on the sail now. Test-fitting the SOKS and making the louvres fit.

                  Outstanding! How did you make the louvers? AND, did you cut the holes ans slots or cast them - I can't tell.

                    If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

                        Everything was done by the machine this time Scott....I only assembled the parts, made them fit.

                        The sail will be cast with the holes......louvers will be after fitted.....hatches and doors you must do yourself.

                        My idea behind it is that you can chose if you want certain pieces in open or in closed position......radar, periscopes,.....

                            Oh my goodness I started laughing in a waiting room. I probably looked like a crazy person. I showed Tina your message and she laughed.

                              LOL. Sorry, Tina, that your were subjected to this nasty, thoughtless, antagonistic, trolling perpetrated by your kit-assembling, robot-loving husband.

                                I wonder how cheap those DLP based printers will get? Some can be had for under £200 now, although the resin is pricey. They do render superb detail.
