SkyhikerOk, this project is too weird not to sit in on. Let's see what you can do with it.

Torsten@JD, this happens if the family looks in to the stash. My wife like the fish and as a side project I build a baby groot for my son ==> Baby Groot Figur (Suit) | Project by TWN (1:1)
The time is perfect now, because we get a little bit to normal at work 😉

TorstenNext steps are following, most cleaning and sanding. The handwheels in this kit are outrageous, I know it came from the garage, but I have seen in other lines from this kit the handwheels are from better quality. However, I get some in metal from Krick, they fit well. And first test to fix the parts.

TorstenSome pics from my work yesterday, the photo etched parts are a real challange for me

TorstenTHX for the likes and the interest.
The paint job will be a challange for me

Erik OffThe PE-parts are really not easy to install because of the steps and rivets. Mine did not turn out nice.

TorstenToday I have no trembling fingers and so I risk to work with the PE-Parts, a real pain for me, but it works

Ben MAnything with rivets is good. I understand the hand issues thorsten. I find it is best to rest both my hands in the table when I work.

René "Lord Bilbo" Bartholemy@Ben M and @TWN : I have the same problem, trembling hands. Sometimes, I just *have* to stop doing any work on a kit or a figure because it's just too strong. My doc prescribed some Inderal pills to be taken about 15 minutes before I start. I does sometimes help... If not, the "rest both forearms or hands on the bench" is indeed a good trick.

Ben MI also wear a brace on my left hand sometimes. It helps stabilize my thumb. It is just one from the drugstore.

TorstenTHX for all the tips, likes and comments, next parts are done, but they need some rework

Carlos CisnerosIn the town where I was born
Lived a man, who sailed to sea
And he told us, of his life, in the land of submarines

René "Lord Bilbo" BartholemyYes, but now the question arises : will your submarine be yellow? (thanks Carlos)😉

John SmithOh boy, I'm following this one. I've seen pictures of this kit in a couple of locations lately, and I've really taken a fancy to it. Great fun.

Mike SzwarcLooking good, Torsten! There is much more interior detail to this kit than I realized.

TorstenYes Mike, some nice little details, the kit need work, but at last it will be worth.
And THX for the like 🙂

TorstenInteresting idea Jonn, I'll check this and will ask my skills, maybe I can do this. I have ideas for a little dio with lights from ground, maybe a kind of workshop, because I don't like it to close the front and hide all the details. I hold some little shwocases from IKEA with lights and think one will match perfect

Martin R.You're welcome 🙂 Interesting subject (I built the similar Implausible Long-Nose Submer..ria Mechanika IMFF004, 1:35) and was very impressed about the quality of the molding)
23 June 2021, 15:37
TorstenI had a look to your completed projects, but I can't find it. Maybe you have a handfull of pics? I hold the Long-Nose, too and would be very pleasent to see you build 🙂
