Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] OSS Modeling Ideas
Jeremy,
Very nice pictures. I am sure that this will help in the discussion. Even
people with no 3D-imagination can follow.
I made a mock-up of the Double endcap sub out of plastic pipe. I made a
floor in it of about 600 mm long and 300 mm wide. I was thinking of a seat
that can be changed in height from 150 to 300 mm. The seat must be foldable
or removeble so you can sit on knees from time to time. It will never be
very comfortable but even famous subs like Star III (Busby p. 461) demand
some flexiblity of the crew.
As for the two-seater i was thinking of a scooter buggy seat. The hull could
be equiped with 2 acrylic hemispheres on both sides like big fish-eyes.
I am on a vacation the next week so i will be of line for some time.
Good luck,
Thijs Struijs
