  1. beautiful work Ivo, congrats for your lovely Model, I trust that you and your granddaughter (what a fine present) are enjoying this all times Nils
  2. a good choise Eberhard, and a very interesting project. I wish you a successful keellaying session soon. It promises to be a fine scratch built vessel on MSW Nils
  3. Hello fellow model makers, I am momentarily taking a break in order to help my wife, who unfortunately broke her hand on the right arm and needs my assistance daily, as long as it takes Nils
  4. Hi Keith, The hoist and lowering position, as well as sliding on the rack works, but with manual assistance. You were right with your estimation (too much friction in the line and the rollers) Nils
  5. beautiful model Nick, those details look great, also the brass props Nils
  6. Update testing the function of the gravity davits with lowered boat on port side Nils the names are with white photo-paper, colored orange background and white letters (cut out and glued on) a working delegation is preparing to set over....
  7. Update Finished the boats, except for the names and the homeport, also the hooh-blocks, the davit arms with line leading points, the soldered brass racks for the gravity system, and the motorized reels for the lines, the reel axis still to be shortend Nils equipment for hoisting and lowering the Elbe 1 boats
  8. Congrats Roel, super work at that small scale, and the sea looks great as well Nils
  9. Thank you Gary, yes, I`m very pleased how the rope came out. I`ll paint it in rope color after the hulls are painted Nils
  10. Update The boat`s hulls are so far complete, rudder, tiller, prop, and seating area, and hook-eyes built in, now ready for painting. I built total 3 boats, so one in raw condition will be kept for spare. Nils the inside is ocre yellow with brown seatings this is the hook system of the gravity davits
  11. Thanks, how do you balance out at periscope depth, is there an automatic depth control, or is it to nerviously keep the eye to the periscope wave and two fingers at the hight rudder stick ? Nils
  12. FreekS Very interesting technical design and work, well done ! Just a question : Is it realy possible to RC-control a submerged sub, once its submerged you ca`nt see it any more ? Nils
