    This big boat is almost done. It's down to some small parts and the torpedoes. The plan is to have it done by the end of the month and take it to Darrell.

        The Seehund will be making the trip to Darrell's this weekend. The last parts are on the printer now. It has taken 3 months to print and 15 spools of ASA filament. What a project but now Darrell will have the sub he has wanted for 15 years.

          Whoa! What superlatives! 15 spools? I haven't printed 15 spools in my entire life on all my projects combined. That's insane!

          And those torpedoes put some sub models to shame. They could definitely be made into RC.

          Great job. Now rent a U-Haul truck to deliver this monster.

            The torpedos could be made to be fully functional weapons.....

                Big enough to put fish-finders in on their side and make those weapons acoustically homing. Just a little gasoline on the fire for you, sir.

                  Thanks David!

                  We made it to Darrell's... that is a 1/5th scale F-16 in the background.

                    As you said, the man likes big toys. Unreal.

                      That is spectacular.
                      If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.
