VIIC/41 - Schematices drawing

2.) There is very little room between the nose of a torpedo and the inside of the torpedo door, could be less than 50 mm. I am thinking around 30

The Yanks kept their arming inside as an impeller, there was a bit of a slot under the nose. But same principle, and same basic magnetic pistol. Interetsing!

I was able to print my U-boat drawing out today on my 10 years old colour print. The detail is fantastic , And that at 1:43 and on my old printer. I can not wait to print it out on the large format printer at 1200 dpi Since I have free wall space I will increase the scale of my drawing from 1:43 to 1:32. But will need to check if they can still print this new size. 

Below is the new printout in my office.

If your printer can't, I can at work - 840mm wide, and multi metres long. If you need it let me know and I'll see what the Chief says about a super low price.

Hi Rokket

Thanks for the help There a place I been using in the city that can print wide format. I am trying to keep using the same printer, as I found that the colours are not all ways the same for every printer.

I just printer U-1308 at 1:32. It

Here me, with the 1:32 scale printout Its does not look so big in the photograph, but within the room it huge (the poster is about 2200 x 800 mm). Maybe too big

I can not decide if I should go for one big poster at 1:32 of the internal view on one wall only
Or go smaller…
One posters at 1:43 scale, of the internal view on one wall, and on the other wall a 1:43 scale external view

I was just thinking maybe…
The 1:32 scale of the internal view on one wall and on other wall the external views of each Type used during the war so a Type II, VII, IX, XXI & XXIII all at 1:72 scale.

Anyone have any suggestion, that may look good



Here the 1:43 scale printout.

Go big and spend the money to frame. In the end, you will have a masterpiece! (Your work is the masterpiece, the framing/display is just to show it off)

I had the mock-up 1:32 scale poster up now for 24 hours and I am starting it like it It still looks big....but it looks good.  I had always intended to frame the poster. I being thinking a nice plan black frame.

Simon, it looks very good.  Like Wink, I have the ability to print high quality and large products.  Not sure how that could help you, but if you want, when you are finished with the project I can print several copies.

Hi All

Thanks for the kind words After nearly 24 hours finally got word that all the family is Ok and well. There is no or little phone lines, water, and power in Christchurch at this time, so getting news out is hard. As of this morning 65 dead, over 100’s people are still trap in building

I think a few close calls within the family, my sister was in one of the biggest shopping central in Christchurch at the time EQ and she said that part of roof collapse on to them.
