          I remembered you did some

          Steve

          I remembered you did some of the metal making for your S100 Schnellboot, I was wondering if you made anything else for it?
          I ordered the white metal props for mine earlier this week but I wanted to see if you might have made the center section
          where the propshaft comes out to the rudder?

          Just wanted to check..

          I am slowly buying tools now to do my own stuff.

            this is heavy competition to

            this is heavy competition to the sub-hobby !

            I have a small chinese lathe, cheap and simple.
            but indeed, knowing how to use it is
            something different completely (called craftmanship).
            Still, nice endcaps come from it...

            respectfully yours,
            Ronald van Aalst

              Hi Turbo

              Well I used K&S

              Hi Turbo

              Well I used K&S flat brass and fabbed it up

              But the new machine opens this up to being made by CNC
