In the engine room a pvc floor is a bit unrealistic.

True, though -being a photograph of the set of Das boot- the image posted by you can't prove anything!

I will try asking BIGREG how to give engine room's floor a different material than the rest of the sub

Hello GAP

I saw

,but me too,i found not realistic the PVC floor
the ground was demontable, to access the battery / pumps / ammunition etc ... and for the evacuation of water to the pump (leaks etc) and in case of a fire, Ouch ! Hot !

But ,if you want i can make the change other explain you ,how to do

@LemonA:If you have other photos,as this one (not repaint as the U995 in Laboe),I am interested

Yes, as I wrote in the first page, I am not sure either how realistic would be a PVC floor on a WWII sub. Not because its need to be dismountable (PVC carpets can be cut in pieces to fit the size of any bulkhead), but due to the inflammability of this material. On the other hand, due to its sound absorption properties, it would have been a good alternative to... the use of slippers during silent runnning

As I wrote in my previous post, that picture refers to a movie set. Anyway, here are some other pictures of Das Boot's mock-up interior:

I think the same type of floor as seen in those pictures, is already featured in one of the interior mods available for SH5.
