Build your own U-boat.

Melonfish · 12-18-06, 05:22 PM

ok, i'm going to become a millionaire. then i'm going to get this guy to build me some type VII's then i'm gonna buy lots of big tankers and DD's then i'm going to arm the sub with those torpedo's with impact detonators and some explosives.
then i'm going to get a BIG pool and sink me some ships.

THEN i'm going to take it out to a club, where people sail their carefully crafted boats and sink some of them. (then pay them off with loadsa money just for sh*ts and giggles)

i wonder if a camera system would fit in the sub too? fiber optics used in the periscope say?, that would be SO kewl. you could actually pilot the sub whilst viewing from the periscope......

k i want to build one of these now.

Seeing how this guy builds his sub compared to some I've seen at subpirates and subcommittee, this guy's way is the one I'd have gone. A good sized hull and water tight junction boxes to hold all the electrics.

I see many sub makers even when making big subs use a Water Tight Cylinder which seems to really limit you.

I just love how creative he got with materials. Anyone else notice that his torpedoes are made from old cigar tubes?

I can't understand the language but im guessing is it a tutorial on how to build one or is he talking about something else. Great job, wish i could do something like this.
