Making a Whiskey on the rocks
« on: May 13, 2016, 10:50:50 AM »


Hi all

I thought I should share some pictures of how I built my Whiskey-class submarine for my WSS-83 article. The Russian submarine U-137 got stuck on a rock in a Swedish military zone on the 27 october 1981 an event that turned in to a very tense situation... you can find it all on my blog.

I hope you all will have a greate weekend !

best regards Michael

Thanks !

Yes it just one piece of foamcore that was 25mm thich that I cut in shape with the hobby knife and some sandpaper to even it out. Pinted  it with PVA glue several times so the foam would not melt when I spraypainted it.

I added a bit of foamcore as a base to build the tower around, the rest of the tower ar just the sturdy back of a note book.
