Interesting animation about how the Holland operated.

Romel,

Do not know how you find such great submarine subject matter, but this YouTube and all the others on the Holland are fantastic! The subject matter ties right into what Andreas's model and all the interior work that he is doing. To see his interior work and then to see it actually in operation is really great!

That's a great find. I followed his previous movies on the Holland. He's detailing his model while he 's making his YouTube videos. I wonder where he gets all this detailed info about Holland's operation and procedures. But there must have been quite some research involved.

Great progress! Here's another 3D model of the (US version) of the Holland a year before the Navy accepted her:

LMD017 - Holland Submarine 1899 – LandshipsModeling

I plan to give these to Holland Club awardees in our SubVets group at our annual awards ceremony.

Working in the kingston valves for the main ballast tank. This is the port one....

And in position in the bow section of the Holland....

I'm further refining the internal structures of the Holland 1. I added the main ballast tank and redesigned some bulkheads. Difficult, as I don't have a tank plan for the Holland, an the Lambert plans don't have enough detail for a perfect reconstruction.....

[DrSchmidt]

Further progress on the internal structures. water tank, compensation tanks, compressed air bottles, torpedo firing tank, lockers and boxes. This will be detailed later...

[DrSchmidt]

More tanks and bottles...and the batteries. The batteries were packed in wooden boxes, so in the picture one only sees these wooden boards, In case of a build, I'll have to cut a bit of the superstructure to make the at least some batteries visible....

Hey Doc, do you design your own 3-D CAD files? I’m too lazy to go back and try to find the answer. Anyway, looking forward to the beginning of this build.

[DrSchmidt]

Yes I do....all my boats are based on self-drawn CAD files.
