Hello Jim

When I used the foam for the first time (on a different model), skeleton has deformed. it happened, because I used the foam incorrectly. Previously I applied foam in the upper side first and then on the lower side of the submarine. Now I was applying it in a ''spiral''. I hope you know what I mean If you don't, I can always draw you a graph. I removed the foam with long, sharp kitchen knife, next I used emery paper to even the surface. Before working with foam I secured card formers, by dripping them with super glue, so they were much more resistant to cutting; of course, you still have to be very careful while removing the foam. Now, the main body is very strong, I can imagine how tough it is going to be after applying a plaster
All the foam and plaster applying make the build much more time consuming, but it's work it, as it's impossible to get the ''cow's ribs effect''.

Happy New Year!

Adam
