Want to thank all of you in advance all for all the great builds and posts that I have been reading and following over that last year.

Mornin', SonarTech!
Ask lots of questions!! There are a whole poop-load of excellent modelers here
who would be more than happy to help you out! Nothing is "off-limits", as far
as assistance requests!
The only really dumb questions are the ones that don't get asked!! Ya might
get a "smart-*ss" type response from time to time, but it's all in fun.
(Amn't that right, M?? Hah!!)
Welcome aboard, bro'! You're definitely in the right place!!

Welcome! You made a great choice, not only for a first sub, but also as a system to allow your creation to dive and come up again. The sub-driver is a well crafted WTC (water tight container). Post lots of pictures and ask questions. Glad you joined this crazy group!
Peace,

After way too long of a delay, I have finally started my skipjack, (year and 1/2 later) Progress will be slow but I am learning and again have reread the many fine builds on here and hope I can do almost as well. Currently filing out MBT grates.Last edited by SSN SonarTech; 09-16-2015, 12:27 PM.US Submarine Force: Making the Navy worthwhile since 1900Comment
