atic: 1:35 Bronco XXIII with interior

[DrSchmidt]

Thank you very much. Took me while to get the tubes right, but it was worth the time.

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Wow! Looking at those tubes made this old Torpedoman's Mate recollect the smell of grease, metal polish, the stink from roller-pockets, ****, diesel oil, and dirty socks.

Masterful work, herr doktor!

A little bit of progress. This time the two torpedo tubes that were printed in one piece. Took several tries, but now I'm quite pleased with them. Only the hand wheels on the hatches had to be re-printed and the loccking levers were replaced by styeren profiles. I then glued the tubes to the bow bulkhead using epoxy to have a bit more time for adjustments. Finally I glued the feed throughs for the sea water hoses into place. Now I have to belnd in colors with some washes. Getting there.....

I think it's a great kit and I think I saw some RC-builds of the kit in this forum. I have the rc-subs PE parts to spice it up. Should be good....

That'd be a 1:35 Bronco plastic kit of the Type XXIII....opened box, not much more to show yet.

Well, if the outside will eventually look as great as the inside, we’re in for a treat.

[DrSchmidt]

Brilliantly done. Have you any pics of the outside of the boat?

Still a stunning build happening here. I’m blown away by the level of detail you’v put into this model.

Thanks, I'm doing my best...

This is truly unbelievably amazing! Thank you for sharing.
This is a work of art in many ways.

A little bit of progress on the bow torpedo room. I printed, painted, and added the foldable tables. Also the curtain on the door to the control room is done and found its place. So the back part of the room is getting ready. Next will be the front part with the torpedo tube assemblies.

[DrSchmidt]

Thank you very much. It's a long biuidl, a kind of marathon....there will be plenty more to post.

Dr. Your work is jaw dropping fantastic! I anxiously wait each and every addition!

[Das Boot]

Amazing work.

Kept working on the bow torpedo room with the galley. The ventilation duct for the big electric pot is installed as well as the manual water pump with the water counter and the respective piping....here is a comparison between original and the model. I like it.
