Not a problem Siara,

I'll get them posted off today.
Progress is slow but good, i've applied all the etch to the wooden decks, very time consuming. Also started on the conning tower. Had no time to take pix, maybe later today.


Sav.

Me again,

Just been out and posted them, let me know if you get them ok.

Sav.

Thank you Savvy.

The microphone aray around planes.
As i scraped most of original ones during sanding i had come up with replacement brass rod microphones.

I left 1mm of rod sticking out. After the paint is aplied i will sand the ends of the rods to expose brass.

The bumps i was asking about aerlier. Guided by many photos i decided to move them. They appear to be in wrong place.

Made new bumps out of 2,25mm x 5,25mm block of steryne:

Drip channel. It is missing on the model.

Drainage holes were drilled /0.8mm/ and styrene strips formed the channel like drain.
On close inspection you can see the detail of the drip:

Its taken me most part of today to figure out how to make this bit.

TBC...

Port drip channel.
I thought this channel will be easier to make , because i had it figured out how to produce one. How wrong was i...
It actualy was more timeconsuming bringing the portside to match up with starboard side.

Bored with the hull works i started work on torpedo.
One of the torpedo doors will be open with just about 1 cm of warhead showing.
http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/9862/torp001jt8.th.jpg

12 disc have been cut from 1mm styrene , and glued together.
After the glue set i drilled the 1mm hole thrue the center in order to insert it in dremell for sanding.
Because dremell tool reaches the fast speeds even on lowest settings i transfered the warhead to hand drill for fine sanding.

I tried wood for that purpose , but because of grain its hard to get the desired texture.
Now to piston.

work on torp goes on.
