Year 2017. The submarine I-58 was discovered after 70 years at the bottom of the sea off the Goto Islands, Nagasaki. The owner of the secret base this time is trying to make a 1/200 scale model of this submarine. It has been sinking in the sea for 70 years.
He, Naoto Nomura, makes all of his models by hand, based on the actual blueprints. The submarine “I-58”, which he started working on about four months ago. The hull and deck are already finished.
This time, he will reproduce an important mechanism for submarines. A submarine repeatedly dives and surfaces in the ocean. When it dives, it takes in seawater and sinks, and when it surfaces, it takes out the seawater and rises to the surface.
For this reason, drainage is an important function for submarines. How will he make these 300 holes? What he took out was a plastic board. He set it in the printer and printed out the small holes he had drawn on the computer.
