    Hahaha, let's go!
    I have seen Mike Dory's system, but not Ron Perrott's. David's system is refined.
    Moving on to your sub, it came out really nice. The hatches and storage on the deck, are you planning to put inserts in there or brass etchings? I guess I am asking, what are your plans to finish the deck?

    Rommel, your mind definately works in different ways to just about every one else that I know. You are beyond lateral and heading for exponential.

    About .3 mm. More than enough to mark all of the vent and hatch holes.

    Very nice, HardRock!
    What's the thickness of putty buildup?

    Time to remove the masking and check the damage. Not perfect but a good place to start. More sanding required and then a silicon mold.

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

    Grtz,

    Thanks for asking. No objections. I have no proprietary control over this stuff. What you guys have so kindly described as 'my' system is simply an amalgamation of the ideas and works of those who came before me. Much of what I've done is simply a distillation of what Mike Dorey and Ron Perrott came up with decades ago.

    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!)

    Fortunately I have some of the 1/72 version. (Currently in my Oscar). I did ask M about the 1/96 version but he said that he wasn't entirly happy with it - such a perfectionist.

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