If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub. -
The last few weeks have been spent finishing the brass etching and sticking the bits on the plug. Today it looks like this:
I spent quite a long time getting the forward torpedo doors right:
Still lots of sanding and filling to do but the basic idea is there.
I've also been experimenting with a technique of oil canning the sail. Not perfect yet but it shows some promise.

Bugger. Thanks for trying. Enjoy Berlin - what a city. I was stationed there before the wall came down; (actually, well before the wall came down!) Seige mentality; live like there is no tomorrow etc etc.Comment

Etched both sides of the brass sheet. On the rear I etched a grid pattern then used the end of a paint brush to press the brass against a flat surface. Instant dishing!Comment

Sanding and filling, sanding and filling, sanding and filling etc etc and then repeat.
