this is about the tenth or eleventh remakes and refinements of these things... i think i'm about done... these will have to be the ones that sail, i don't think i've got another revision in me... (unless someone who has crewed one of the subs points out something glaringly wrong :smile: )...

anyways... a few more parts to be fitted, some texturing... then the Russian subs will surface...

well, I have never crewed a real sub, but I'm pretty sure the crew doesnt wear those thick, black, rubber suits like you have on your crew......;)

as i'm sure you know, the fifties were a time of great experimentation, and the navy wound up heading in some 'unique' directions...

this crew is wearing an early prototype personal anechoic uniform...

hey... if it's good enough for the sub's skin... :biggrin:

i got a lil ambitious and did a lil texture work on the bulkhead hatch...

not done yet, it still needs a lil more attention and detailing, but this is generally it...


so far, everything looks like it's coming together as planned for the long term... i'll be getting back to work on the Uboat sim very soon, and get that completed...
