Hello All, it was some time that I joined the forum but it is not that nothing happened in the mean time.
I promised To post my progress, so here it go's.
I will do a recap to the point where I am now.
The whole project started after I received the drawings and will be designed in Fusion 360.
The model itself will be mostly printed in PLA+ and resin.
I choose for the Bowfin in the November 1944 outfit, so still with the old deckgun on the front deck.
Simply because I like this outfit, and I have some pictures of this period.
Another source is the Bowfin museum, however at its current state it has a lot of the late and after war modification.
So I still need to do a lot of investigation of what is and what is not correct for my model, and no doubt there will be some minor detail mistakes made.
And in the meantime I had to learn Fusion 360 as well, so some parts toke longer than needed to design, but so far it is huge fun to do and I enjoy this project a lot.
Anyway, here is the designed 3D model so far.
And the other side, the anchor housing is printed seperatly in resin.
The first parts that I printed where the fairwater, bridge and all the bells and whistles.
Bridge and ventury.
Periscope housing
And how things start to come together.
I desided to make all the piping in messing because it just looks better.
I made the deck hatches out of resin with messing springs.
I make a sepperate post about the hull, or this will get too long.
