This photo shows the starboard side. I carefully cut the strips with a razor saw once the glue had dried making sure they didn't lift or bend before filing flush to match the cut-out showing the Rear Torpedo Compartment.

This image shows the stern from underneath. I decided to model the stern cap of the rear torpedo tube in the shut position.

Finally, this photo is looking up from under the stern showing the aft free flood holes I painstakingly drilled out to give the impression of depth.

P.S. I've recently ordered some white metal parts for the interior; two stools, one for the Sonar Shack and one for the Signals Shack, a wall mounted clock and a toilet! LOL

More posts to follow soon!

Thanks for your kind comments Mark. Yes, you need a bit of patience when things don't according to plan first time round but I also enjoy model making too so what appears to take an age can fly by when it goes well.

Thanks Phil. Using PVA glue gives you enough time to position them before it sets as the instructions quote specific distances of where the strips have to be placed.

This has been a fun journey for me over the last five months, I hope it`s been the same for you.

A great build to date, I`m looking forward for what`s still to come.

Thanks Dave for your kind comments. Most appreciated.

I'm looking at getting the paint on in early June. I still have a few more modifications to make before then, but I can't wait to start spraying her up! BigGrin

Haha - glad you like the build Derek, it's definitely fun for me. When I start to add all the details internally including figures it will start to come to life; give it a bit of character.

Good Evening from 'The Dockyard'.

On this part of the build I will be making the inner pressure hull for the Junior Rates Accommodation Space & Galley.

I decided to make this inner pressure hull so that it matched the part-works supplied plastic pressure hulls for the Engine Room and the Control Room.

The attached image shows an overview of the U-boat with the space to be fitted central to the photo. The majority of the images on this post will depict the U-boat upside down while I worked on it to enable easier access.
