    Will you be printing the ballast tank vent mechanism?

    On with the forward ballast tank...printed some big structural parts and placed them. Then the primer.

    Then the base coat and as the ballast tank is constantly exposed to sea water, one can weather quite a bit ( still I don't overdo it to keep the technical stuff visible)...

    Sheesh! Compared to the rest of what you have done it doesn't look too difficult at all.

    The bow section is more complex than I thought initially....ballast tank flor, diagonal stringers, ballast tank roof. That will be quite some work till all that ins in place.

    Thanks...and the prints look good to ;-)

    Made a fitting test and this seems to work out quite splendidly.

    Now that the pressure hull and the openings in the fuselage approaching the finishing line, one can think about what else to display. For the bow I'm thinking about the space between the pressure hull and the muzzle doors. For the XXIII that'd be the forward ballast cell with the both torpedo tubes and the forward pressure bottles. The oil bunker below won't be displayed, and I think I'll keep the muzzle doors and the respective cowl panels closed, too. That's what I got so far in the new year...

    Had the patience and guts to start making the cut out on the starbord half of the hull. First taking precise measurements, then starting way smaller, and then opening the cuts to the final dimensions. Slow and messy, but one ends up with the right look....
