atic: 1:35 Bronco XXIII with interior

Definitely need some crew members to show how cramped it was inside.

Thanks, I also think that the lights really make a big difference.

Superb! The lighting makes me feel like walking through a museum exhibit!

Worked a bit more on the details of the torpedo tubes. I installed the depth setting gears (blue arrow, port one is hidden). The running depth of the torpedos was set manually. Via a plate one could drive a shaft into the respective socket in the torpedo and then, via a hand crank, one could set the running depth. The gyro angle for the torpedos was set via gears (yellow arrows) and shafts via a hand crank below the gyro angle receiver (green arrow). The shooting solution was calcuulated using a "Torpedovorhalterechner" (torpedo data computer, red arrow). I also added the "Ausgleicharmaturen" (torpedo control panels, pink arrow), that were used to flood and vent the tubes. Via a angled adapter plate they were directly screwed onto the firing valves. The firing vales sat directly on the compressed air bottles. As a neat detail I added the hand crank, used to operate the muzzle doors and torpedo hatches, to the starboard torpedo hatch.

the detail in this space is mind blowing. fantastic!

The interior will go into a 1:35 Bronco XXIII kit

Amazing work. Thanks for sharing it with us. I may have missed it earlier but what is the scale?

Mind blowing detail!

[Das Boot]

That is awesome.

Worked some on the torpedo tube assembly. Between the tubes and the pressure hull wall were two compressed air bottles that contained the air used to expell the torpedos. I installed both, but as the starboard bottle would have excessively blocked the view inside the torpedo room, I depicted it hollow and cut away. Like it allot!

Insane... absolutely insane! So beautiful!

Drooling like everyone else. When I see there is an update to this thread, I get excited to see what you are doing. Always impressive and fantastically detailed.

Stunning build!
