Kinda has that Jules Verne vibe....

Maybe someone would make a refined 3D printed version.

I wonder why Playmobil designed the motor pods backwards?

[redboat219]

This unit is compatible with Playmobils research submarine....

[redboat219]

So you're using a 2 radio systems? Propulsion and steering via the Playmobil unit running on 2.4 ghz and ballast control on a different system....

Maybe you could go with Manfred's Type XXIII radial hull separation. https://youtu.be/dwpT6FzhrZI ....

Isn't it possible to modify the files to include the top hatch in the printing?...

[redboat219]

The real boat was 14 meters long (551 inches). Divide that with 34" ( your model) = 16. It's 1/16th scale.

BTW, you're printing this...

[redboat219]

That was fast. How long will your finished hull be? If I remember correctly the original model is in 1/33 scale....

Nice photo of you and Ellie showing your undivided attention. She talks you listen....

1/10 scale model of the Icteneo II made by a Spanish modeler Pedro Gomez. Unique thing about the boat is the power plant. It uses a model steam engine...

[redboat219]

The original boat used shifting weights on a threaded rod for pitch control....

Going back to my first question, using a variable ballast tank instead of dive planes to change depth - see video.

Just leaves the 2nd question....
