Ok you hit me there :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(,enjoy my friend.

All this I glued with ''SNAP-A-GAP''superglue and ''ENDFEST 300 plus'',and all those materials I used are left-overs from the kit.
Oh and please don`t look at the dust what is in the boat.


 


















This plate is for the floods(in the middle) 2,4 and 5,thanks Conus for lightning this up ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;).





And this is the rear I was not happy >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( with the rudder support,so I am changing it ,sorry lads for bad pics.

This is/was a original design from Robbe.You can seen clearly the hole in the middle,this was for activating the boat,
well I will use another system to get my boat online,this pic is taken a few years ago.



My design,


 










Happy viewing.

my best regards,

Ron.

Today I was not in the mood for finishing the floods,maybe tommorow.So I made I few details for the CT.
This is the periscoop housing made from scratch,I used the VOZM book for reference.








The figure is from Andrea miniatures in the 1/32 scale,and is not painted by me.









The floor of this CT is still a big mistery for me,I hope that someone has a drawing or some pix that I can use.

The last couple of weeks did not much on my baby,the workshop was closed >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(,
it was to hot to handle,well the Heineken`s taste good in these temparatures in the local pubs ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D.

Here is a small update.

These gratings were allready broken when I lifted the baby out the box(a few years ago),
this was on the left and on the right.




Glued,




Installed,




This bulkhead was for the original Robbe WTC(Water Tight Compartment),
my WTC will be much bigger,I will using a 125mm PVC pipe(Toneburst design ;) ;) ;) ;),not my idea) instead off a 105mm KU pipe(Robbe design),
I am hoping that this will increase the stability of the boat when she in the water,surface or submerged.


Removed from the aft section,




Cleaned,sanded,and maked the hole bigger,




Installed,

Whoa she is reeeally looking good! Excelent interior hull work with the frame supports. Can't wait to see video of her diving!

Thanks Rokket.

I am trying to get my boat soon as possible in the water ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::).
Still waiting for the costum made ''Bajonettverschlussringe''http://modelluboot.de/

This is for closing and to open the WTC ;) ;) ;).

I talked to the man somewhere in May at a Submeeting,and it was no problem for him to make a Bajonettverschlussringe for my PVC pipe,
mmmmm we are two months further and stil no Bajonettverschlussringe  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(.

I'd offer, but I think it's just at the edge of my lathe's capacity, and the threads are well beyond my minimal skills! Should be a nice fit tho.

The red arrow,

I removed this housing,this Robbe design was for controlling the rudder.I will
use a small ''cog wheel'' with a chain.And this chain will hooked up to a servo.

The blue arrow,

This is edge was to round for my needs,it will be more sharper.

The green arrow,

This looks better,but I must still design the diving controls.

This is how it looks like,for real.



One big hole,



Here is the glue still wet,



Finished,



Here I making some ribs and plates,
