Man that really sucks, but I have to say I thought your wife was amazing buying you a replacement. Sometimes I think we underestimate our better halves and their understanding of just how much work goes into these things.
Still, personally I thought your attitude about starting afresh was excellent and the work you're doing on this build is awesome - it loos amazing!

Awesome stuff! So how many submarine movies have you watched as inspiration whilst you've been building this?

Done for the day all modelled out ............progress so far

If you can give it a full crew, it would show just how cramped those things used to be...
After the sudden loss of the first build I would have to have taken a long break from building a new one right off!
You are doing a cracking job and it will be impressive when finished.

Thanks Mike, I think it will look a lot better when I have done some weathering and got some oil spread around
