            Why does the paint have a mottled pitted appearance?
            Make it simple, make strong, make it work!

                Fish-eye. Some crap got into the mix. It'll sand out. Goes away entirely after a heavy, well flattened clear-coat. Not my first rodeo. Ain't finished yet!!

                    will make weathering easier. Marine growth and grime.

                        David, that Albacore sail is outstanding. Truly one of your best yet.
                        If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

                                I woke up stupid this morning. Thinking of representing that 'city crest' we see at the leading edge of one of these boats sail.

                                Some fine painting on decal film seems to be in order for the near future. Will be good to once again haunt my drafting-room upstairs. A fun departure from the usual grind of the shop.

                                    Nope. Not my work. Evil robot printed. Sent to me by Howard to be worked up into production tooling.

                                                    MOST helpful, Romel. Clear decal paper on order. Excellent!

                                                        And do you make an aft prop set with 7 & 6 blades too? If in 1/60 I might purchase a set?

                                                        Parts look beautiful.

                                                            These were sent to me as is (obviously, whoever did this insured he had the blade-count right; not like one idiot we know) and were 3D printed. I believe the scale is 1/48. Maybe Howard will chime in here and tell us more about these pieces.
