Now that the printing process is complete I can begin work on the upper hull section. Before I start gluing the sections together I want to do all the mechanics involved in the stern section!
I have the two brass sleeves installed for the propeller shaft and the rudder control arm. As stated above there is going to be a lot of metal structure attached to the stern to mount the propeller ring and the rudder itself. The printed parts are fine for a static model, but not for the mechanical function for in water operation.
