Ok. I am a idiot, I found the mesurments, they were just so tiny I had to really magnify it so I could read it. I am getting ready to order the metal and wanted to check with everyone to make sure it is correct. I am building a K-600 so I re-ran the metal sizes. This is what I came up with:
Does anyone see any problems with this?

I would make all the small things first. Viewports, through hulls, motor pods etc. Maybe battery pods next, and then order the actual hull at the end. They you almost have a kit to just weld all your completed bits to. My hull has been sat on its trailor getting rusty while ive been mucking about machining small things i could have done before the hull arrived. Just my advice. > regards > James > > > CYL - 1/4" (6.35mm) x 36" (914.4mm) OD x 72" (1828.8mm) LG. ASTM 516 GR70 Quantity 1. > > 3/8" (9.525mm) x 36" (914.4mm) OD ELLIP. HD.

It's a good way to get into trouble, no matter how they were reproduced. Often times with hand drawn prints, little changes are made to dimensions without changing the actual drawing. > > You do have the material list in the corner of each drawing don't you? > > Dan H. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Scott Waters > To: New Message > Sent: Wednesday, March 04, 2009 12:06 PM > Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Problems with initial > > > I am trying to get all of my metal ordered for the main part of the sub (k-350). I am having a real hard time gauging the blueprints. I was wondering if anyone had a list of measurements. I am going to order the main vessle and ribs, two battery pods, conning tower and hatch, and VBT. I can't seem to get the plans to scale because they have been saved in PDF and were compacted before they were saved and they have no measurement scale except 1/4" equals 1' which doesn't help if the files have been compacted.
