Yes I am also drawing the internal sections of the boat. I have complete 30% of the of this. In fact there really five main parts to the drawing. The internal side view, internal top view, exterior side view, exterior top view & exterior top view under the deck.
Doing the internal sections of the boat a lot harder for me and they take a very long time. It very important to me to be as nearly to 100% correct as I can get it. It also real important to draw all the pipe, wiring, bolt & nuts rivets etc.. correctly and know what they do
I could easily draw these things from the pictures we have, but this is not good enough for me.
For example, this whole summer or winter, Maciek & I have been working of the internal piping of the torpedo rooms and I feel we only understand about half the piping system. So you can see it can take time. This detail can be see in my drawing, but no one but a real u-boat nut (like us) we ever see this detail
I have not posted many pictures of my internal drawing, and if I do I usually keep them smaller. I do this for several reasons, one, they changes a lots, as newer information come in. Two, I am a little worry about copyright. Once completed I would like to sell a few full size drawings just to help pay back some of the printing cost of the test printing (it cost me about $150-$210 NZD each time to print it out, as the full poster is large at 2.1 x 0.5 m).
