Moom puppy here it is.....

Nerdling its better late than never

Yago, how are you my friend, yes we all have some crazyness inside :gogo


Hi my friends, as promised another update on the S-100. This time the ammo racks for the side machineguns. I used a .005 brass sheet to make it Here the left side rack with the measurements

The right side needs to be modified to accommodate the rack; you need to remove 1mm from
the molded door for the rack to fit into the corner

After the cut just sand smooth and redo the round edge

Now the rack fits perfectly

Now I reworked the seats, new supports where made using wire and two pieces of brass tube for the pivots

Here the original and the reworked one to the right

The new seat with the brass pivots; the two pieces are glued next to the ammo racks

The seats are movable; a piece of angular strip is glued to limit the movement of the seat like in the original boat

Next job was to cut the cover of the compass located at the middle of the boat to install the plate
From the Edward kit

With the cover removed and the plate installed it was time to do the crystal dome

For this job I used a ball bearing closest to 8mm I found

This was glued to a plastic rod and placed on the vise, then used a piece of heated clear styrene
To form the dome around the ball

After that you just cut the dome from the plastic sheet and sand the edge smooth

Now you just need to paint the dial and you’re done

The throttle controls are also modified, I did the new ones with styrene and parts from the
Edward set

Using a styrene strip, make two pieces 2.25mm long and make one of the sides pointed

With .80mm styrene rod make the arms, one at each side

Glue the pointed pieces to each side

It should look like this

Now make a double pointed indicator for the center lever and Glue it to the center position

Using the original part cut the 3 levers and glue it to the top of the indicators, the left and right
ones should be glued a little to the center as in the photo

And there it is, a great improvement over the original

More coming soon, thanks for watching!

Hi my friends, here with a small update on the latest work on the schnellboot
I started now with the supports for the side machine guns, this are made with styrene and PH leftovers the styrene rods are .060

All the parts that make the support arms and the finished one on the side

The styrene is drilled to insert the cooper wire to make the pivot points

Here are all the measurements

Finished

A comparison with the reference photo

Now I assembled the resin machineguns from CMK just add the barrel in place

I drilled a hole to add the cocking pin with a small piece of styrene

Here are a couple of photos of the machinegun on its place on the kallote with the resin ammo
Drums

Now I started adding the missing rivets to the kallote, at the end I finished removing all the original rivets and replacing it with the resin ones so it looks all the same

Now it looks like this…

Well that’s it for now, still lots to do, more coming soon!
Thanks!
Abdin
