                    Amazing detail! That will pay off in the end.
                    If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

                      I've been watching your build for some time but just got around to registering. Your work is amazing but that periscope housing is a work of art. If mine turns out 1/10 as nice I'll be happy.

                      If I may ask, what are you using for your nut/bolt/washer detail?

                        Hi everyone,
                        I will be absent from the forum for a while, maybe forever ...
                        My wife Margherita was hospitalized in neurology in Padua; they found a large mass on the frontal lobes of the brain ... the situation is very serious ... my heart is broken ...
                        If you can remember her in Vs. prayers.
                        I embrace you all.
                        Filippo

                          I am praying as I type!
                          Filippo, here is my email, tchalfant at earthlink dot net, if you need someone to pray with or talk with. I am there if you need an ear.
                          May you both feel God's presence and His peace through this!
                          Peace,
                          Tom

                              Hello to all; unfortunately the brain tumor left no way out for Margherita: after 5 months of struggle his body gave up and died, at 53 years old. I am broken, my heart is broken, probably I will no longer approach the modeling ... for now nothing seems to make more sense to me ... for some time you have also been part of my family: I love you and I greet you all.

                                Filippo, I am devastated to hear of your loss. I'm sorry that cancer has claimed yet another victim and taken your wife from your life. If there is anything that we as a group, or I as an individual can do for you, please be sure to let us know...
