Hi Don, The hulls take about an hour to make just with a sandbag and various hammers,they are finished off with the mini wheeling machine in the last pic (I made it from an old button press from a car boot!) The motor duration varies depending upon the gearing and the size of the busted old clock I got the spring from!
cheers Neil

Great job.Must have taken awhile to shape the tin.How long does the clockwork motor run?Love to see it run if you post a video of it when it's finished.

Ahoy Mateys, U41 with a triple spring clockwork motor Ive designed, the hull is made from a tin of deluxe continental chocolate biscuits (available from Aldi £1.99) I think there ex Christmas stock! www.mclarenclockworksubmarines.com
