Dave,
how in the world do you cut the painter tape strips so precisely?“Of the 40,000 men who served on German submarines, 30,000 never returned.”Comment

With a straight-edge and new #11 knife blade. Duh!
You first de-tack the low-stick 'blue' painters masking tape by pre-loading it with lint from your shirt or pants (to further reduce its tack); stick it to a plastic sheet cutting board; and hack away.
A compass cutter is another useful mask-cutting tool. As are brass tube punches.

I know you use a hobby knife, peckerhead. Thanks for the lesson.“Of the 40,000 men who served on German submarines, 30,000 never returned.”Comment

Last set of photos.....what are you doing? No, I know what you are doing you are marking waterline, but why? It is taped correctly, yes? Isn't the hull already split? So many questions.....Love learning from you.
If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.Comment

There are usually -- for boats that have spent time tied up in waters of varied specific gravity, mineral content and varied temperatures -- what appears to be one or more minor bands of discoloration beneath the boats designed waterline. What you see in those shots you referred too is the laying down of a pencil fantom waterline, later used to guide me as I brush and spray-paint these band(s) of discoloration. I call the scheme: 'the parfait effect'; the stratification of various forms of marine fouling.

David,
Just a short note to thank you again for your second go around on the concept 2 Seaview presentation on Dive Tribe today. It was very informative, and the concept 2 model lends itself for a good design for a pool as a surface runner. I really prefer single motor submarines over dual motors. I may have to give in on this and build the Seaview with dual motors.
Thanks again David,
Rob

Took a metal-impregnated rubber disk to clean up the solder and made short work of clean up. Pickled it, then primered with the latest Dupont automotive primer. Finished with Tamiya acrylics, dry-brushed a metalizer, three coats of flat clear coat. Hope this one will hold up. Photos of course are out of order. Figure it out.Comment
