Biber miget sub

well after a long time and having my arse kicked by the boss that's rich and not her indoors the biber is now on the building board it'll be a long build as i want to get as much detail in her as possible
But first i must say a BIG thanks to rich who without his help this build would not be possible i hope you won't get bored with this build log and i'll do my best to answer any questions that are asked, gona have a cuppa then i'll post the first few pictures

The first job of the day was to clean up the hull must say it's not the best moulding but it's not the worst also i didn't want to clean up the hull to much as as these subs were literally thrown together, these boats we're built in 3 seactions so the next job was to mark and then cut the hull into 3 so that i can make the bits that will join the hull back together again thats all i did for today and as they say onwards and upwards

could have left it as it was but in my eyes that would have been wrong so had to do it mate cut out the first of the new frames just trying to find some 2mm bolts now to bolt it all together again

well you know what i said about her when i picked it up mate that offer still stands , not enjoyed building something in a long time it's nice knowing that it's not going to be shipped overseas when done

im watching andy if your prepard to cut a good hull in three for detail this is going to be a great build looking forward to her progress
all the best geof

well today i made the first of the new frames this is where the biber is bolted together on the real sub , after looking on the net and being shocked at the cost of 2mm bolts i decided that i'll make my own so placed an order for all the bits i'll need then i'll get on with making the 100+ bolts that will be going into the sub

pic to follow later

the bolts will be made out of plastic rich as there only for show and to make it look more realistic

it's only the lower rear seaction mate there's another bit that runs up the middle and thats where the two bits are bolted together

had a late start today so decided to cut the windows on the conning tower then i didn't like the frames so sanded them off and made new ones sorry about the pic's the camera's so old it's like a box browny must get a new one when funds become available

Or guest tray to focus on the Rigid part (NO HOLE),and don't zoom it.Make the picture as far You can get,and if is to narrow window make more picture in the the same way as you do a slow motion movie(make a picture move the camera a Little bit further and so on,until you get the whole view).
I hope You understand!.

or i could bung the flippin thing in the bin and get a new one

very nice rich no overtime means no spare cash hope it changes soon

windows andy are looking good love the bolts around them
a point and shot camera can cost very little i find my camera struggles in doors i find turing the flash of and not using the zoom help alot
geof

made the front bulkhead/securing ring today all boring stuff but had to be done then started making the bolts should get the hull back together by next week then it'll be time to start on the back end

had a look at the back end today then went for a cuppa what a mess the only way around it was to cut the last 3inches off to clean up the inside after this was done it was time to try fitting the rear dive plane/rudder on doing this i noticed that the bell crank was in the wrong place so i had to make a new one and move it further forward , i'll post some pic's when i find the cable for my phone
