    You mean we make the "flap plane" work. Are you trying to kill me mr Horrible?

        He is right David, it is your fault. Thank you.
        If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

                  Test fitting rudders and palnes before making the toolings, all parts are registrated by means of dowel pins. Perfect fit and easy instalation for the end users .

                    Hi gents,

                    Some time has past sinds my last post, I was bored with the production work, so I started preparing my next project.
                    I also hit a roadblock on the VICTOR III. It is not uncommon when creating things, but this was a major one for me, and wanted to share.

                    I made a choice in the density of the tooling board before starting this project, Density: 0.45 g/cm³.

                    First, I encountered some scribing stencils problems, then I however encountered some scribing problems with the material itself. It seemed that the density was to low, scribing results were returning horrible, the material didn’t ship all the time, sometimes it just was compressed, especially in the corners. Very frustrating.

                    So I laid the hulls aside but that didn’t solve the problem.
                    Alter some time off I decided to rebuild the hull from some harder material. I decided to print the bow as a test piece.
                    The scribing was a relieve the material was hard enough and returned a scribing perfect result.

                    I re-designed the hull and printed all the parts. After 120hr the parts were finished, and everything was glued together.
                    The picture below shows the old and the new, the old shows all the scribing attempts, the new hull is partly sanded, the bow is coated in primer (the test piece), the torpedo hatch was the test scribe.

                    Grtz,
                    Bart

                      Posted in the right thread now...LOL
                      Some time pased.....did a long time nothing. Reson think Bob's post says it all https://forum.rc-sub.com/forum/gener...g-announcement
                      Did not know how I would be able to make this work, to make affordable models, I can't.
                      Past year I have been making 2 turnkey scale models for a company one static, one RC.

                      It did trigger somthing, and after chatting with Tom Spettel recently, I started to detail the VIII. I added panellines and scribelines the the 3D model, thinking on printing the sub, but not yet sure test print will provide guidance.

                      Below pictures of the 3D model in its current state.

                      Grtz,​

                        Bart, I've been watching your build of the Victor III from the beginning and have really been impressed with your work. When the thread stopped I wondered what had happened. Now I know and I'm even more impressed with your work. Great looking Victor III. Thanks for posting it.

                          Great photos. Th 8 blades on the Victor III's look like they turn clock wise when seen from the back looking forward. Interesting. The Akula fromt he same angle lo
                          oking forward all appear to turn counter clock wise.

                          the 8 blades a poor attaempt to double blade area and reduce RPMs to delay the start of cavitation. The Russians had not received the gift programming for their
                          CNC propellor makers yet from Toshiba of Japan for the scimitar blades.

                          I always liked the look of the Victor III's over the Akula's personally, but the later Akula's became the more advanced and quieter.

                          Damn the Russians sure dont take care of their garbage after they dicard do they? GRRRRRRRosssssss! Lol.

                          Excited love to watch the building of your Victor David. Yay!

                            Ha I'm getting some results that I like...need to do some smal tweaks but it looks promising....weld lines came out nice.
                            Sorry for the fibers of the cloth on th pictures.

                              It was not exactly the look I was aiming for....but it turned out to be close to a picture I had in the archive.....some prints do fail because of reasons.
                              The scribing lines came out great......the distorted part will be croped and replaced by new......not a big deal.....keep moving fwd.

                              Have a nice one,
                              Bart
