Five sets already! I'm two hulls behind - better get moving. Those castings look great. I particularly like the sail.

I cast metal today, pal.

I'll be ready to ship early next week. Then it's back to Nautilus Drydock work. Vacations over!

Cool. I'll modify the tail cone to suit.

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Forgot to ask; what is the OD of the tail cone rear bearing. I'll modify the mould so that it just slips in - or cast it in place.

1/4" o.d.

Hope to start pouring rubber tomorrow.

Fantastic work Mate. That forward hatch had me a bit worried, and I see that I got the bloody dimple off cente! I'm amazed at how beautiful this this is becomimg.

Hey, I'll forgive you the off-center dimple if you ignore the many ****-up's I've endowed the appendage masters with! Symmetry is the ever allusive and always unattainable objective (unless you're a ****ing robot!).

Hi David its been a while wanted to say hi I hope you remember me you helped me build that Gato cobia submarine. I also bought the kit from you. I'm the guy that was in the Coast Guard and flies RC helicopters on the side . This build you are doing is very impressive with all that detail your doing i enjoy watching you work. You are always giving me new ideas! I'm building the typhoon if you have any suggestion please let me know .

take care Jim Amos
