Monstrosity! 1/72 Seawolf

[ManOwaR]

So wonderful to see the 21-class done up properly. It's easy to forget, working on 688- and 774- models, how beamy Seawolf is!

Beautiful work, Joel.

I checked out your videos on your site btw...very professional documentary style production!

:) my goal is to have the manual mostly finished this Christmas, so I'll post for you guys some pictures of the assembled beast

Joel has just dispatched my SW hull no. 002 - happier than a pig in poo.

Joel,
I am a motion-picture guy and no expert on still photography or digital cameras.
One piece you might want to investigate is the new Kodak Playsport. It retails for about 180, but it shoots full 1080p HD video AND 5 megapixel HD stills. Waterproof to 10 feet.

For something cheap, the Nikon Coolpix is a good bet. I think its something like 12 or 14 megapixels now for like $90 USD...

Thanks very much guys. Your comments are deeply appreciated. Kerry, I have to do some camera shopping as my old Olympus finally bit the dust (fiberglass dust) and am regulated to using my inconvenient video cam for these noticably low quality pictures. I'll get some more up when I get it. Any recommendations on cameras guys?

[ADDINGTON]

What an achievement. Please favor us with more pics when convenient?
Continued congratulations and deep bows,
Kerry

What a wonderful job, you've done on this project, Joel. I'm still finishing up the tooling on the PJ -- very sorry about the delay.

You are today's #1 r/c sub kit manufacturer in my book. For whatever that's worth.

David,

Looks really good Joel!!!

Hull number 001 on display in hot rod black primer for tonight. She's held together with hot melt and took a few hours to slap together. In the back is a cardboard mock up PJ giving everyone a general idea of how the boat is going to look. I'm keeping the rear z cone off so people can see the mechanics of how the planes in the stern actually work. She's big! as you can see she takes up my whole counter top

Joel,
Im not a facebooker so havent seen any recent pictures of your 21 serial number 000. Probably best to keep it under wraps. Then you wont have to bother with having someone stand watch at a front window during your party so they can tell you when that black Chevy Suburban pulls up and guys with suits and earplugs talking into their wrists start fanning out around your house.
Haha-just a little cold war humor !

[ManOwaR]

I'm sure we can accommodate on both accounts :)

[Slats]

Joel.
Please do keep track of the serial numbers of the subs you send out. Personally I'd love to know mine, as I know I have bought from you something that is a treasure.

Yes a tour of the facility would be cool.

Can't wait for the video......


Best

Now, that would be a real treat, Joel. I hope you give us a good tour of your shop and show off some of the tools and such.
