It will be an excellent resource, and time is..strange. Do not fret!

Here another other small update on the Working Drawing...the drawing is starting to look very good.....so much information on it (maybe to much ) however I not spend as much time on it as I would like because of my new house, we (the builders - I just clear up after them ) are trying to get the roof on before this winter.  So my time at the computer is limited. I have finish all the framing and ribbing. I am just look for about 5 or 6 more real measurement and then the whole hull, framing, ribbing & PH with be correct to the nearest 1 mm

Has anyone see any measurement between the PH and hull at each end of the PH (the part that taper off) I have a central measurement of 750 mm between the keel and PH but I can not found any others?

[Rokket]

I'd think the Anatomay book would be useful in showing the taper, which would be a start, tho far from what you want...

I just tried DL the drawing, and files are no more. Is there a working link to the drawings?

[NZSnowman]

Hi Siara, I will look into this and try to add a new file this week. As our internet at work is not working very well at the moment

[Siara]

Thats good news Simon- one of the submarine model builders i know wanted to have look at the accurate drawings, and i recommended your work. Please let me know when you upload the files again, so i can pass the link to him.

Having real problems with the internet at the moment but will try to upload the PDF within the next few days.

Hi Siara, Sorry for the wait. I just got home today. The internet is very slow at work  I could only found an older PDF that is moment. I am hoping to have a huge update in about 2 months when my new house is finish and I can start using my big computer again

I have started working on the working drawing again. I have redrawn the pressure hull and frames. The drawing is now base on original German measurement. I will continue adding more detail to the pressure hull. Below is a link to a preview of the new hull drawing.

Hi Simon, the drawing is looking very, very good.  Have you decided it you are going to sell some copies?  If so, I will gladly buy one.

I will not be selling any copies of the Working Drawing as I will be giving them away to anyone how want a copy. It my way to say "Thank you" to anyone who help me over the last two years, answered my many questions and put up with me. I am hoping that maybe one day this drawing will help someone who is building a Type VII U-Boat.

At the moment this draw is a 1:34 scale as it come from my main drawing, but I think it would be more useful if I change to scale to 1:72 and maybe also show measurement in the 1:72 scale.

Also hoping to have a small surprise within the next month about my main drawing

I like the idea of 1/72 drawing Simon.
