I had an interceptor built too, but mine was smaller and a lot thinner, it has some kind of Airplane wing looking apparition that houses the propellers and such. really cool looking actually

Can you converted the sub for SH3+GWX? More just for fun.....

Another update on the interior. I've got the dive controls and started and the Christmas tree. BTW does anyone know what the christmas tree in a nuclear sub looks like? Of course google isn't much help in that department.

I looked through those movies and it is hard to spot it with all that's going on. So I'm pretty much gonna make up my own.

So here's an update on the tree and a look at the helm. Just so you guys know the gauges and dials will be textured differently once I have everything placed.

silverwolf, that looks fantastic buddy. The closest i ever got to one of those was a tour of the bridge of the Troop transport my unit took to Germany back in 03 but i cant even remember her name or what kind of a Christmas tree i was even looking at. I was in the Army and my buddys were amaised that i knew ANYTHING about the goings on on that ship. However i use to play a game called sub command and you could play a 688i, Seawolf or Akula2. It took me forever to learn to read the waterfall sonar then the Russians sonar was completely different all together. It's no help to you though i cant remember if there was a Christmas tree/status board in that ether...

Yeah I've seen that one before. I'll more than likely use that layout. I need to move some stuff around or possibly make the room a little bigger.

I pm'd ETR3(SS) and he told me that the term "christmas tree" isn't used anymore. The proper name for it is the ballast control panel. Using the proper name I found some really good close up shots of all the buttons and such so i can make it look more modern.
