Uboat model skin thickness...

Cheers Steve.

Yeah, i will keep you guys abreast of developments, although i reckon the project will be a few years.
My problem is i have too many projects on the go, lol.

In between restoring old bikes, i still have a titanic build, another revell 1/72 u boat etc

I know what you mean about building the inside, but all the pipework is quite daunting, especially in the control room and wngine room, what with all the knobs and doodads.

First step is to get a mate of mine to print the ribs and keel, then cut em out of ABS plastic and see where i stand.

One of the nice things about alot of projects is they temper my impulsiveness as i can go back to other projects, whilst putting a particular "problem" on a back burner.
Tx again

Not your problem alone. My modelbuilding is currently limited to wargaming pieces, but I have a backlog of those I want to get done. Then there's working on my own tabletop naval game and my friend's 3D airwar game, and...well, you know the rest.

Restoring old bikes? I have a hard enough time getting motivated to ride the one I have.

Yeah. The details will keep you tied up forever, if not kill you outright. Check out the SH4 forums. You'll find a thread in which a member has created a complete, and I mean complete interior for the Type II. It's a masterpiece of digital modeling, and he's been at it for years and it's still not quite done.

That's a good start. Since they probably won't be seen, make 'em good and sturdy.
