Thanks, I have a copy of the whole documentary from the Discovery Channel.

I finished building the periscope mecanism. It works very smoothly






And the video s136.photobucket.com/albums/q191/Wheeler...current=MVI_3016.flv

I have cut out the tower and bonded it to the main hull, which is now complete. I didn't sand down the final layer of primer and sprayed the balck down in short dusting type bursts out of a spray can. I'm pretty happy with the result which is a textured almost speckelled' finish, which I think is more indicative of the real ones after a couple of patrols under the ice caps. Next up is to fit out the windows and lighting. For this one I am going with filament bulbs rather than LED's (colour is less intense and looks a little more authentic) and then laying down the water line and other makings; and finally some weathering incuding rusting all those limber grates.

That sub looks awesome, man! When I see those pictures, I wish I had more time for my project.

Great work, mate! Keep us updated.
