    Hi everyone
    do you know if anyone has a mold to make pocket battleship torpedo tubes?
    I don't have a 3-D printer, and purchasing would make my life a lot easier.
    I am building a DKM Adm Scheer as a surface runner, and looking for more BLING...

    Thanks.
    The hull is from a Ralph Coles mold, and he did an amazing job.
    Still looking for more research on the superstructure but overall I have the ship 95% done.
    The turrets will be replaced and I will install elevating barrels while it is not a combat ship.

    Sister in the shipyard. Hull is completed, needs radio box, and guts. No guns installed yet.
