I used the day off fromThanksgiving to get some more work done on the 1/32 Andrea Sub. Namely, I got the fake pressure hull constructed and added all of the PE deck plates. The pressure hull was easy to do once I figured out that I had to use smaller pieces of sheet plastic instead of the longer ones I was trying to use. I added more PE hatches and white metal pieces this morning prior to leaving for work. Pics of that will follow shortly. As always, comments welcome. Thanks for looking. "Q"

Yeah, I got the whole kit and ka-boodle. Lets of PE, white metal, and not a whole lot of resin. Hopefully if the weather warms up a bit I can get some primer on her and get some more pics posted. The conning tower is about 95% completed. I just need to add some fiddly bits to it. Didn't want to do that until after it was mounted so as not to continue breaking them off. Hopefully soon. Thanks.
