Dave you got any molds to make mast parts for the 1/96 November? All the molds I made for the mast parts are 1/72 and Don has those.

Send me the relevant documents and I'll get on masters and tools.

Recommend you leave the propellers, control surfaces, deck fittings, masts and antennas to me.

Here is the Russian magazine I got the drawings out of. Have several other sub drawings that came in mag. Bought the mag off ebay. Beam is actually 3 1/4". If you go check specs on November I have seen several specs for the beam width. Depending on how things go around here in regards to the house and my moms care my plans are doing the HEN class boats. For you non ex submariners that means Hotel, Echo, November. So I will do either a Hotel I or II and a Echo II. I also have in the works a 1/72 598 class SSBN. No I won't change my mind on that scale.

It's about time someone addressed the HEN's. Thank you, sir. Very much looking forward to the 1/96 series.

Here are the drawings I am using. Got those out of a Russian warship magazine. 46 3/4" length. 3 1/2" beam. I will make the hulls as thick as I feel that everyone will be happy. Not going to custom make various thickness hulls. Won't happen. Everyone that has bought my boats in the past were happy with the thickness. This boat I will not make any of the resin cast pieces for the masts. I am on a time crunch here to get boat done as I may have to sell house for my moms care in a nursing home.

There ya go. Less foam = more enjoyment. 46 and a bit inches is perfect and it will take a 3" SD at a pinch or a more spacious 2.5" version. What magazine did the plans come from?

George here is my latest urban assault vehicle. Got it about a week ago. Made in England ey! I bought it to tote the Queen around if she shows up.

Watch out there Tim in Cali you can probably find a lot of Queens.

Here is the secret in how I make my hull pugs so fast. I glue 2 lengths of 3" blue foam together. Then I take some .060 abs sheet plastic and make the shape of the hull. Then I 3M 77 the sanding templates fore and aft then I start shaping. I use 4 sections of foam for the hull. 2 in the middle, bow and stern. When I have all the hull sections sanded to shape I glue them all together using the center line of the 2 sheets of foam a glued together. Then I glass the hull using a couple of layers and cloth. Fill and sand hull,primer paint and scribe detail.

You probably mean that the US builders want a divided hull with an overside and an underside. Yes I can accept to get a 4 part hull. Then with a somewhat thicker hull.

[598602G]

More work to do a split mold. For you guys that live half way around the world I can always cut the stern and shorten box. Think guys is US would rather have a 2 piece hull instead of a 4 piece. I can make the hulls thick or thin.
