Hi Dale - The Thruster are still on the same place - as visible 
in the conceptional drawing - just a little more diameter. 
There are not bowthrusters on the model.. 

Stern section is now in the same stage as the bowsection. 
Friday I will get the mainshaftpipe complete with the internal
bearing complex. Last friday arrived all three endcap-hatches 
complete with the centerhole and the nut for the o-ring. 
700 mm in Diameter and 65 Kg (140 pound) heavy - each. 
Looking for a strong double action axis spring..

Work runs good on the yard with all the cranes, forklifts and 
some other equipment. Its need an half hour, two guys and a medium size
mobil crane - just to move a 2,5 m diameter endcap from one side 
to the other.. 

At the moment I work 10 hours a day and 6 days the week on the main job
- 
the 7th days I spend 12 hours on the sub - at the same yard.. 
I get tired and will slow down the speed a little to save my power 
and body for the next 3-4 years work - is still just a hobby .. 

Ice is gone .. anymore dives with Snoppy  ? 
And one endcap weighs more than two times - Sgt.Peppers..

Maybe we should use this as meassuring scale : 
(Solve the problem with the imperial and metric units..) 

1 Snoppy Sub equal to 2 Sgt.Pepper units,  
1 CSSX sub equal to 114 Sgt.Peppers units or 57 Snoppys.. 

see you - Carsten
