 Hi Dean, 
  
The tanks are made from 12 gauge steel sheet which I think is .109 thick if 
I remember right. 
  
Thanks for the good words. 
  
Best Regards,

  looks great Jim.  
  I am guessing the tanks are made of tin. What thickness did you 
  use? 
  I am in the process of making mine.

    Hi All, 
      
    Finally making a bit of progress again! I've 
    posted a picture in the projects section of my first section of soft ballast 
    tank tacked into place. 
      
    I'm hoping to finish all welding on the 
    pressure hull proper before the end of February.It depends on work schedule, 
    but I think it's doable. 
      
    There will still be much more to do, but I'm 
    gaining on it!!!! 
      
    Best Regards,
