Hi,
the fast dive tank is 99% complete. Just needs to be detached from its carrier and have the fast dive lever added. A few pics (links for bigger pics):

Hi SG,

great work, thanks for sharing: Do you wear two pairs of glasses on top of each other, each with 3 diopters, to work on the model?  ;) 8)

Keep up the great work, looking forward to seeing it progressing.
Cheers,

Thank you Gentlemen! hahahahahahaha Falo, no, an optivisor is sufficient  ;D (7x plus an additional monocle only to check for imperfections, as am unable to work without a stereoscopic vision) . The real problem is getting nice and sharp closeup pics, as the pieces are too small and the white-on-white styrene is not very photogenic! Any suggestions are more than wlecome.   

SG:
Hi,
the fast dive tank is finally ready and detached from its carrier. Its lever is microscopic (0.05 mm thick/0.7 mm long, bottom picture) and will be added to the tank once it finally sits on the SLC, due to a very difficult manipulation of the piece. I've been working on the tank for nearly a year. I had thought it wouldn't be feasible to make a realistic tank in such a small scale, reality proved me wrong. It was feasible indeed. Enjoy.
