I am sorry for this absence on AMP. The health issues in my family were from bad to worse.
My mother lost the batlle with cancer on last 21 Januari. She died in the Hospital.
I am now sort of caregiver for my dad. And i am his only child. Since my last post on 11 August 2021.
I was in the Hospital more, than i was at home.

I have some updates regarding the boats(s) and dio. I will post them soon.

Here is a little teaser.
The street lantarn is just a dry fit.




Regards,

Ron.

We are completely closing down, including the forum. COVID and UK/EU VAT have forced our hand. We thought we could continue in a limited capacity, but we cannot.

Much of our research materials will remain available through uboatarchive.net (link to follow). Thank you for your support and we wish you the best for the future.


             

Hi Glenn,
Those additions really improve your model, especially the seatbelt and the rudder bar straps. Looking like the real thing. Maybe you can display at an IPMS Ottawa show?
Cheers,
Dougie

Finished the final (?) component of this build; fabricating the seatbelt harness. 
The closest offering was an Airscale 1:24 set (not 1:16) but they have detailed installation diagrams. (Only 1 error.)
Since no-one offers a 1:16 set, I asked a friend to 3D design and print the buckle parts.  I used regular masking tape (doubled up) for the belts.
The adjusters and lap belt latching system actually work!   I am very happy with the end result.

If its the same video it has been linked on here by me before.
I cant seem to link it again but a simple Google search of U995 Kaura Norwegian Navy will find a number of links to the color version.
