Hey guys! Sorry for the REALLY long hiatus. It's been a long and tough journey already at the academy, but things are actually going really well! I've joined the academy's elite honor guard and drill team, and we recently took 2nd place at Cornell's Invitational Drill Competition (take that, West Point!).

Anyways, with the drill season over, I finally have some time between classwork and training, and am glad to be back to producing 'public' models, and I figured it's only fitting that I make a maritime-related model (granted, U-Boats are the Merchant Marine's arch nemesis to say the least...)

So without further ado, I present the SM U-14 (ex French 'Curie), the U-boat of Georg Ludwig von Trapp, best known as Fraulein Maria's love interest in 'The Sound of Music'.

Also, have a picture of my drill team! (I'm the middie flashing the thumbs-up):

Long time no see. I am glad that you are doing well and that you are excelling at the academy!
GOOD JOB on joining the elite honor guard and drill team.
CONGRATULATIONS on winning 2nd place at the Cornell's Invitational Drill Competition!!! :Bravo:

I am glad that you are able to snag a few minutes (a day) to design.
It looks like you are off to a good start with this project!
