Hi Bunkerbarge,

I looked into buying the resin pressure hull by Yankee Model Works, but decided to hold off until such time that i could bring the two halves together along with the deck in place. Reason? to see just how much would be visible. Answer, not very much at all!

With this in mind i decided to save some money and make a simple one of my own. I did this by drawing around the hull onto some plastic card. This was then trimmed until it sat snuggly into the hull on top of some simple angle brackets, again made from plastic card.

Anything seen through the holes is effectively in sillouette becouse of the light seen from the holes behind it if you see what i mean?
So you could get away with adding things in 2D just by cutting sheet in the right shape! I have a collection of odds 'n' sods that will pass for internal structures, i'll post pics when it's all installed.

Sav.
