There is going to be more than just the one I hope.

Holy smokes he's building a plug.... :)

Just as a side note here the two Pictures that you posted of the HMS Thames on page 1 doesnt belong in this group. The Thames was a class of three boats that were not part of the "T" class. Keep up the good work. Did I miss the size that this boat is going to be?

I looked at those pics and thought they looked a little odd. The bow wasn't right. I guess I should remove them?

My T is a 1:72 scale boat.

The plug takes shape. Final sanding and shaping comes next.

For those that are interested here is a link to the film I mentioned. Not something I'd race out and buy, but nonetheless I was very happy to see my beautiful wife made such an effort to buy me something I had not thought of.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042810/

It features a fictional 1950's T class "Trojan". The film was almost never released due to the loss in 1950 of a T class, HMS Truculent.

from wikipedia:-
"Filming finished shortly before HMS Truculent sank, and the film was almost withdrawn. The decision was made to release the film as planned, and to add the following message that appears in the opening credits of the film.

This film was completed before the tragic loss of HMS Truculent, and earnest consideration has been given as to the desirability of presenting it so soon after this grievous disaster. The Producers have decided to offer the film in the spirit in which it was made, as a tribute to the officers and men of H.M. Submarines, and to the Royal Navy of which they are a part." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Truculent_(P315)

....Mike have you seen this film?

I think ManOwaR wants to know who did you commission to build the plug, ie who is making the object that is in the first 3 photos in post #1...

Yeah I was wondering too who started the plug.

I have recently commissioned the WWII British T Class model and as you can see, we are well under way with the plug.

The question reworded is: who was commissioned to build this model??

No one has been commissioned to produce the models.

Have to say I was completely ignorant to this sub, I thought T class meant Trafalgar, but then again I though an I-pad was a feminine hygiene product.

Have just seen this sub in a classic 50's film "Morning Departure" - a good story about a post WWII T class that unfortunately ends up on the bottom at the hands of a left over electronic mine.

Not sure yet Joel. I'm just at the plug stage. Once I see what we have, then I can start to figure out which boats are easier to detail and copy.
