Right now, it looks more like a brothel than a U-boat... but hopefully, some work will change that :twisted:



Assembly of the arch that simulates the curved ribs of the pressure hull of an U-boat.








Finally, the big moment!! time to see if what I planned years ago is correct. I have to say that despite everthing there is a small error of just 2 mm. I'm really satisfied.








Level and plumg, the unavoidable buddies for this adventure that after 4 years start to become a reality.



Fitting of the rib with the electrical splice box. I must manage somehow so the splice box is accessible. As expected it is just in the middle of the curved section.




Right! Now this is it! aint it? from this side, it does look more like and U-boot! yf you could see it and play "Konvoi" from the DAS BOOT original sound track...Yeah! yesterday I dinned in the room. I did not even want to go to sleep!



When I can... more

Thanks for sharing with me my dream
