How long to get to a point where 'diving stations' can be piped do you think Brian?

Got to open up vents on the clear side then lots of masking and paint, fit sections in the main hull and then put it all together educated guess 3-4 weeks

 

[Bri62]

Aft section all drilled out, masked and primed






Managed to stay away for a whole one day
