If I ever go larger then scale 1/72 it will kill me for sure.

You got AMS. BAD!@!!

Oh good grief. I'd forgotten what a MANIAC you are! Its only when I see that pencil next to the sail that I realize how finely detailed it is. Great work Mate.

So glad I’m back here with you guys.

Finished the upper torpedo doors.






Started preparing all the hatches and gratings in the sail. The gratings will be integrated in the sail for casting all the upper hatches will be casted separate so one could choose to place them in an open or closed position.

Precise, beautiful work, as usual, Bart. What a beaut this best will be!

Milled it......drawn it first to get all the dimensions right.

That looks great! How did you make the mast support?

[bwi 971]

Haven't seen any update for awhile, but very interested in where you are with this boat.

Where I left it.....I have been quite busy on the job, I truly had no time left to do anything else.......I took some time off now……..reunited with my V3 this weekend.....don't worry I spare you guys the details.

Been working on the mast support…….now I’m working on the torpedo hatches.

Grtz,
Bart


Made a support for all the masts….the most challenging was to get them positioned in the center of their specific hatches.











Test fitting the lower torpedo hatches….probably I will glue them in place tomorrow.

I too am looking forward to seeing this project completed. But, all good things take time. Between Bart, Scott, Dave, and myself I think we're in the 'happy times' of new r/c model kit offerings.

And once more David and Bart step off into the great void of double entendre!

Spectacular work Bart. I noticed that spotty Beluga on the shelf too - probably the best place for that thing!

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Wow!

When are you going to circumcise that thing? All it needs are some veins (safety-tracks).

Sorry.

[bwi 971]

Tks guy's....and those 101 things are the most time consuming.

Who'd of thought that they would be interested in accuracy?

We don't.....but we have to practice accuracy else we get a ****load of work.



First time the hull parts were mated....yeah she looks beefy.
The transition of the bow/stern and hull was sanded till all was smooth.
Saterday next all will be primed.

Bart is the man, no doubt about it. Bloody marine engineers. Who'd of thought that they would be interested in accuracy?
