        Gene, Amazing work! Really well done. Did you do your own etched brass pieces or send them out?
        If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

              I have a program already cobbled up. Let me figure out were to post it so I can send a link to view.

                  thanks Gene! I was wondering what you'd been up to since February.
                  What's net?

                    Next? USS OLYMPIA. Again! I'll rebuild it as a display waterline boat this time.

                      Thank you for the response! That is wonderful. Gene, can we use this in an SCR article?

                          Including the safety equipment photo? You make me laugh! Great sense of humor.
                          Thank you Gene.

                            Yes! You may include the good, the bad and the ugly.
