Thanks guys, glad you like it...

Day 18

Time to start constructing the cabin. I think its easier if I start from the inside and work out. This is the start of the wheelhouse. I'm making this up as I go along so there are no plans or measurements to work to.

I will start to add the detail and paint at this point as it will be easier while I can access the area freely.

Day 20

I needed a steering wheel and couldn't find anything that would do the job so I improvised... I also made an emergency stop button out off a map pin.

Day 21

Wheelhouse complete its time to move on. The steering wheel is connected to a servo so that the diver will appear to be steering while manoeuvring the craft.
