Rubber tools with a PU resin stern piece and epoxy glass for the mid and front sections?

Never really found much inspiration in model shops for subs. When it comes to availability of stuff, I've never known it better, almost too much choice...

[Subculture]

Hmm, i think people buy online because the range of products is greater and the price is cheaper. Too much looking back through rose tinted spectacles,...

Steve Warner did much of the pattern work for OTW I believe. In the early days (pre-millenium) they used Craycraft module's with Mike Stothers (Solid...

Saddened to hear about Bob. Falls are so often really bad news when you're older.

How far have you have you pushed your filament printer?

You seem to go in for larger scaled models, so I would hazard a guess the objects...

I recall OTW experimented with a vane style air pump in the early days of developing their own dive modules after Brian Cornelius stopped making the Craycraft...

The small orange pumps currently used in the R&R modules were a popular choice years ago. The original units were made in France and used brass gears,...

I trialled a couple of those pumps, and I’d advise caution. The design is decent enough but on the ones I got they made the gears from the same...

You’d probably need to explain those to many twenty to thirty year olds!

Ironic using that meme- the dude only made it to fifty!

Bear in mind that I'm talking in general terms, there will always be exceptions.

I too prefer forums to social media, however I've observed...

I'll add, and I think I've mentioned this before, both the US and UK have pursued a strategy since the 1960's of reducing its manufacturing economy in...
