      Dave.
      Hi Dave. Its 81mm diameter (just like a good mortar) and around 750mm at that diameter befor the aft and bow tapers.

        This is just a one off for me to play with.

          It is great to see you back on a submarine project! Looking forward to the updates.
          If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

            HardRock,

            I do not know you, but I am also looking forward to your work on this project! Very interesting!

              Me too! So glad to have Scott back in the fight. I'm fortunate enough to have worked on some of his kits -- a pure joy!

              Enough ass-kissing for you, you antipodal type!

              One of his NOVEMBERS is in my queue. Here's some of that work:

                Any clue when that kit will be available?

                    Scott is one of those fearless model-builders who is, in every sense of the term, a 'scratch builder'; he has a firm, practical grasp of basic and advanced techniques and has applied them well over the years. It has been my pleasure to collaborate with Scott on several project, which include a 1/96 ALBACORE, and 1/96 Soviet era submarines.

                    Here's a look at some of the 'kits' Scott has passed along to friends:

                    Scott's just done a few rounds with Mr C. But, through the mirical (and I mean that!) of modern science, he's back on his feet ... bloodied and a bit woobly, but still swinging.

                    The flame that burns twice as bright, burns half as long.

                    Scott's proving that phrase a lie.

                      Maybe you got my request wrong.Actually i am wondering when the kit will be purchaseable via Drydock's. To my knowledge, you got the November tool set from Scott, David, and would finish the job. So are there updates to it?

                        I would do so only with Scott's permission. I have not been able to proceed with any other work than the MSD's as there is a surprisingly high number of units being sold at this time.

                        Money making work first. Fun work a poor second. I have not touched a play-toy in months.

                          I see, thank you! Looking forward to following Scott finishing this project.

                            Go for it Mate. I love the way you took that Albacore thing of mine and made it into a beautiful thing; far supassing anything that I could have done with it. Same goes for the November; mine is a rough beginning and truth to tell, its not really up to scratch as a saleable item. (It means that Dave has to literally start again on the entire hull, finish off the appendages and other detail items. Its a big job but what a great boat it will be when he's finished.

                            So its up to you guys to badger him into getting it done!

                              The "Z" cut is done and I have started to drill out the flood holes.

                                Coming along slowly. The bow is now fixed and the holes continue.
