Thanks. It was a fun build too. I would love to do the 1/72 version, but I have nowhere to put it!

This model is on my want-to-do-list. There's something else I'm saving money for the moment

Er...no. It will be hard enough finding room for the Seaview when it is done, definitely won't be able to add one that is 1.4m long.

I live in my own house, so I have room for these big models.

On my want-to-build-list is
(number 1 is not a model it's a steering wheel with pedals)
2. Trumpeters Titanic 1/200
3. Avro Lancaster 1/32
4. Abram MBT 1/16
5. Pontiac Firebird Trans AM 1/8 (Revell)
6. This submarine in scale 1/48.
7. An Agora Car model 1/8.

Forgot something important.

I hope that you will post picture of your building process when you start on your Seaview model.

I will try and remember to do that once I get started. I first need to get my model room set up, then get the lighting kit for the model.

One of my bedroom has been rearranged to a hobby room. Bought a old cheap dinner table and a old chair(this will be changed to a gaming chair)

So I have 210X95 cm on which I can build models.

On the wall above this dinning table I will put up shelfs to my tools and paint.

Yes, I'm very interested in seeing how you manage the electrical portion.

Dang! That looks good.

Tell me about the limber holes, were the predrilled, or did you drill them out/paint them? I have one model so far I attempted to paint the holes black and it was not as uniform as I would prefer.

The limber holes were pre-drilled. You can buy stick-on patches as part of the detailing kit to depict the closed vents on the top of the ballast tanks. If I remember correctly they also provided masks for marking out the flood vents along the bottom of the tanks, but I didn't do that.
