Early #SubSunday, something different.

This sub is from a 1913 patent, here http://www.hisutton.com/Cutaway-of-1913-Submarine-Patent.html

How to draw a submarine cutaway in MS Paint. Scroll through the thread to see the Submarine coming together,~20 hours work in one thread. A bit like a time lapse.
Here I start using GIMP to shade areas. I start on the outside and work in.
You can see what I am doing with the floating bits... all will make sense
The batteries are one of the coolest features of this sub
But alas I had to cover them up
The design has an incredible all-round torpedo tube arrangement.
Some corrections creeping in. The more I look at the patent's plans the more I understand
looks almost done
...then I realize I'd drawn it with a single shaft. Should be twin-screw. Rework
And finally done!

Tip: mention @twtextapp on a Twitter thread with the keyword “unroll” to get a link to it.
