David. No PM from you in my box. Scott

The dunce cap shaped mast, is it supposed to be Yellow? I left mine white for some reason, and I dont remember why. I dont see any paste flux in the picture of soldering rails. As you are probably aware, flux will make it flow and whet in better.

Yellow in several the photographs that I have. Here's one:

I'm using a liquid flux - thats what made the blue marker pen run. It wasn't hugely successful. Paste might be a better idea. Thanks.

Making railings.

Some more work today on the masts. Each of the smaller (3mm) masts is mounted in an insulin syringe; the two larger, 5mm masts go into a 3.5ml syringe. Eventually the two forward masts will be couples with the torpedo doors so that the doors open when the attack periscope goes up. The other masts at the rear of the sale will be run from a common pump but they will go up and down at different rates.

[HardRock]

OK, will do.

Mark. I did (kinda) suggest a few things during the video event. This is what happened - a great shot of one of my dogs!!!!
The conversation went something like, "What do you want me to video"? Innocent smile. My answer, "anything interesting that happens". Result; immediate cut away from submarine and close up shot of dog. I give up. https://youtu.be/ee-7xuyURPc

I see what you mean. Just when things were getting interesting she pans the camera away. Silly girl.

ROFLMAO!!

You idiot. You gave her an option. What were you thinking?!...

Gal's regard r/c submarining with the same rapt attention we experience when dragged along to the mall for scented candle shopping.

"let's see, video the ripples on water ... or the dog? Duh, that's an easy choice!"

Some work today on the masts. These are all going to be hydraulically operated via a set of pumps in the forward WTC.

Roger that about the Camera person. Carry on Sir.
