today's work

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Can figure out what it would cost me. Hoped to build a AL-4 Class sub in 1/32 scale but seems no one is interested in helping the computer work.

Meantime I submitted to Jeff Porteous editor Subcommittee Report today the HMS Meteorite story you been kicking me to write. Finished!. A lot more about this boat with other threads that somehow were never connected together before to weave a story for a more comprehensive historical view. Sometimes sub historians ignore some subs because it didn't tally a high score in enemy ships they sank.

But Meteorites is a fascinating tale to me of not only the technical aspects which have been well covered, but more on the maneuverings diplomatically and in the Naval intelligence communities of the period dealing with rapidly evolving new realitys at the end of the Second World War and the beginning of the Cold one. Happy with the write.

Back to quickly finishing the French Suffren!

But I have now two other American subs in 1/48 scale now I'd like to make. A 1/48 USS Albacore twould contrast the other American sub I hope to build from same period also in 1/48.

I started sub modeling with USS Albacore and like to finish my life with the same boat. Smiles. Doctors say I have the time to try. That should keep my mind and shop active with subs till I'm planted too, I guess.

He who dies with the most toys, wins! I can live with that.
