Hi,
When I built my Type 2D U141 (posted earlier) the biggest challenge was to cut out the slots accurately and marking the grates etc
So when I decided to build the earlier Type 2 versions I was going to simplify things for myself.
I scanned the deck and redrew it in Illustrator and then got it laser cut on plywood. After that I glued it to the master plug
On casting it in RTV it has picked up all the detail... no need to cut out the slots

Attached are pictures of my latest hull which is a Type 2C Uboat 1:40 scale,  L 43.5" long  with Wintergarten Tower
2 piece Hull,  split at the waterline.  It can take a 3.5" OD cylinder
This hull gives the modeller the choice of building the Type 2 A,B,C or Vessiko Sub

I will run up a hull or two on request before the winter sets in...
Please email me if you are interested

This is a bit of a change from the norm here on mayhem, I think that this will grow up to be some thing in the future. We will see.
Cheers Desi

Since I have had a few inquiries into the hull.
I had to mention on account of the complexity of the hull, the undercuts etc
there are a few blemishes, that can quite easily be filled... perhaps a couple of evenings work.

Attached are pics of typical blemishes. The top casing and all the detail come out perfectly

Thanks,
Lloyd

Finally the weather has gotten better... and so has my glassing skills:)
I am very happy with the way it came out in the end.
If you are interested in a hull please email me.
Cost of hull, casing, coning tower (not joined like in image) and set of dive planes (front and rear), dive plane guards, skeg and rudder is $300 Cdn

I am working on a Type 2B U-boat U18 using the same hull/casing
