First Russian Submarine 1721

[lesterpalifka]

The first Russian submarine, St. Petersburg, Russia. The submarine was built in 1721 and tested in the presence of Russian emperor Peter the Great. I found this to be pretty unique and thought it would make a cool model so i decided to build one from scratch for my grandson as a christmas present. there are no plans that i could find . there is a kit out there but it is not really a quality kits. i found a general description of it with some overall dimenstions. I picked 1/16 scale as the size to build it. I also bought a 3 d printer and have used it to do alot of the parts to the submarine. I started out by doing some drawings in Draftsight like the frames pilot house and the windows. I also have fusion 360 to do 3D models so i have used it to do alt of the parts for the sub. I tried something different. I made all the frames in Fusion then printed them out. Super glue works great on assembling the frames and then gluing the planking onto the frames. This worked out really well. here are the cad drawing and the frames i printed on the 3D printer. As you see it went together very nicely.... the cost for the frames was 73 cents. I use a PLA filiment and it took about 2 hours to print the frames.

After the frames were all assembled it is time to plank the hull. I reality this submarine was really a over size wine barrel. I did the planking using stealers to keep the planks straight. it took about 3 days to do the planking working about 3 hours a day

After that worked on the windows boxes and the pilot house. started to desgin and print the 3d fittings for the windows

Your attention to detail and wood stain work is awesome. It really brings a realism to the model.

El primer submarino ruso, San Petersburgo, Rusia. El submarino fue construido en 1721 y probado en presencia del emperador ruso Pedro el Grande. Me pareció bastante único y pensé que sería un modelo genial, así que decidí construir uno desde cero para mi nieto como regalo de Navidad. No encontré planos. Hay un kit por ahí, pero no es de muy buena calidad. Encontré una descripción general con algunas dimensiones aproximadas. Elegí la escala 1/16 para construirlo. También compré una impresora 3D y la he usado para hacer muchas de las piezas del submarino. Empecé haciendo algunos dibujos en Draftsight, como los marcos, la cabina del piloto y las ventanas. También tengo Fusion 360 para hacer modelos 3D, así que lo he usado para hacer todas las piezas del submarino. Probé algo diferente. Hice todos los marcos en Fusion y luego los imprimí. El superpegamento funciona muy bien para ensamblar los marcos y luego pegar el revestimiento a los marcos. Esto funcionó muy bien. Aquí están el dibujo CAD y los marcos que imprimí en la impresora 3D. Como pueden ver, el montaje quedó perfecto. El costo de los marcos fue de 73 centavos. Usé filamento PLA y la impresión tardó aproximadamente dos horas.
