Hi Willie. Looking fantastic. How did you find putting the propeller shafts through the hull planking. I found this a bit tricky on my bismarck had to modify holes on the rear ribs as prop shafts were bigger than the holes in rib. Keep the pictures coming ian Current builds.Hachettes build the bismark,HMS Victory, HMS Hood.

it was done by a little trick i have i use a brass tube the same dia as the stern tube in this case a 6mm diax300mm long with one end cut like a hole saw [i had already boared the holes in the frames be fore fitting them ]sliped the tube through the frames and drilled from the inside out the tube cuts the hole oval due to the shape of the hull but round if you know what i mean, aslo made a steady plate out of the ply fret for the motor end to keep it the right hight and spaceing for the gear boxes if you use this idear you got to be careful and watch the tube dose not follow the line of the plank other words where the plankes are glued to each other

Ian if you wonder about the wooden outer tubes the red and blue ones they are wooden paint brush handles the shape has a slight bulge on them near to the shap of the real ones boared with a 6mm drill leaves a 1.5mm wall

 one of my boring tools for doing shafts an other way of boring the shafts but you need a set of tubes that fit in to each other 2mm to 6mm this time you find the centre of the shaft line and bore 2mm hole in the hull and frames and fit the 2mm tube. the next tube that fits over this one cut the ends so it will drill and slip it over and drill this tube through do not remove repeat with the next tube alwas leave the last tube in this acts as a guide for the next tube till you reach the size you requier this drilling can be done from the out side in remember to draw the tude back and forth when dilling to clear the cutting ---i have fitted bow thrusters also this way useing tubs up to 16mm
