Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Re: the PSUBS home page sub
Hi Ray, the logo is perfect - maybe a little to small for a
psubs :-) I like the colour, the sail, the body, the stern ..
everything. A sticker with this logo for my car and my subs
will be a nice idear.. If you thing the sub is to big - added a man
to the drawing - just a little higher than the sail..
- a additional window will be nice..
But if you realy want to change - use something from pure
fiction - for example the yellow submarine from the beatles
or the shark sub from Tim & Struppi.
And just today we rolled the shell for the stern regulator (hard-) tank
of CSSX at the shop - is 2,3 feet (700 mm) in diameter and
6,2 feet (1900 mm) long - made from 14 mm (0,55 inch) strong steel.
Its stronger and a little bigger than the hole Sgt.Peppers pressure hull
.. not the CSSX sub just the tank..
And I agree - if something work properly - don't touch it..
