Hi Dougie,

Thanks, really appreciate it for your kind words. My mother and father were married for more then 50 years, it`s a hard time for him .
I am always there for him. Cook, house improvements etc etc.

When i read the news that AMP is closing there doors, i went down in a corner, and cry .
I still do not know were to resume this thread.

My best regards,

Ron.

P.S., i will miss AMP.

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.
