New Project - What am I?

My condolences. It is very painful to have a friend like that pass away. I pray in all of this you can find some peace.

Know how you feel...

13 dog years, thats like 80 human years. Long and fruitful life.

Thanks Men. Very kind of you to offer support. At the risk of turning this into a doggie forum: Portia and Harley. Portia came to us first and sadly died yesterday, and you know the old story - when you have a Portia, you just have to get a Harley.

How cute they are!
Deeply sorry for your loss, HardRock.

[HardRock]

Thanks Mate. Lost both of them within a few months. Still have the daughter, fortunately.

Back to the scribing business. One step forward, two steps back.

Started on the whatsit antenna and the snorkel.



And the prop shaft and bearings arrived from the nice people at Engle.

Finished snorkel and HF antenna.

Nice. Too bad HWSNBN discontinued his 1/96 torpedo launcher, this thing would have be awesome.

Too bad people did not buy enough of 'em. If it does not move, we discontinue it. Business 101. We'll be dropping more product as the year goes on. What we drop .... it's up to you guys.

They are/were beautiful!
The torpedo launcher and torpedoes, really speaks to the skills of David. It is funny how certain things move me. Owning a set of these is like owning a painting from a famous artist, imho. The same goes for the Sub-Driver. It really is a work of a craftsman (I avoided the term artist for the tongue lashing David would have given me - See I do, sorta, learn!)

Some time ago i stumbled on a website selling these things.....he explicit stated he had the permission from David to make and sell them. will try to find it again didn't keep it.

@ Scott, congrats with the snorkel and antenna result....pictures are hard to find of those things, most of them are from a distance or are very blurry.

grtz,
Bart

I found the website..... On correction though it is not mentioned they have permission from DM but it stated

He builds them from a design that David Merriman published in a 2000 issue of The Subcommittee Report.

Sorry my bad.

David, any objection I place the link on this forum? It is after all the Subdriver forum.

Grtz,
Bart
