Thanks for clearing that up...the Enigma decoder has only just cooled down from some of CC musings. The Fire Service will almost certainly require heavy-lifting equipment, counsellors, bomb disposal and a crisis management team (not to mention the Jaws of Life and a good lawyer)... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 I finally managed to get this one over the finish line in time for Telford. This has been not only a very enjoyable build in which some experimental archeology, albeit in miniature has had to be undertaken but also in terms of me having to try out new techniques, not least of which was me having to learn how to solder properly. My thanks here are due to @Heather Kayfor telling me that my equipment was deficient and that one of the secrets was, and I quote Heather's words here," It is important to keep one's tip clean. Ooo, err!" The banter/abuse has also been of a particularly high quality. I think though, that the overriding thing I have learned during the build is; It is a pants idea to go drilling holes in submarines! More pictures in RFI. Thanks for looking Martian 👽 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent Job on the Hunley, Martian. It should be the star of the Telford Show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdave22014 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Nothing wrong with drilling a hole in a submarine. If water starts coming in, just drill another one to let it drain out. Outstanding work Martian. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't Baldrick in disguise are you and this one of your cunning plans? Glad you like the model. Martian 👽 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I know you won't forgive me for this Martian, but I have just spotted a couple (three actually) of little errors.......... 1. There is no sonar equipment showing at all. 2. The reactor room is completely missing 3. Where is all the ESM kit? Terry aka trouble form over the water 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Gidday, you mean that's not a sonar dome out the front (a nautical term) on the end of that big stick (another nautical term)? - refer to pictures in the RFI section. But Terry has a good point - and you've also forgotten the life-rings. Er, regards, Jeff. 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArnoldAmbrose Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Have a nice day? When I'm about to be obliterated? Is that Martian logic? 😁 I shudder to think what you'd have in mind for me if you wanted me to have a lousy day. Probably I'd have to listen to Vogon poetry. 🤮 Oh well . . .
