Title: Making a Whiskey on the rocks
Post by: Dalauppror on May 13, 2016, 10:50:50 AM: (https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JdVRIPw0iIY/VzVgiHhRGUI/AAAAAAAAJfk/W1GrsdIXBJcgs2VqekGZDUoOI-TUMAHcwCLcB/s320/whiskey-2.jpg)

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 (http://dalauppror.blogspot.se/2016/05/making-whiskey-on-rocks.html).

I hope you all will have a greate weekend !

best regards Michael

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.
