Foreart (Fore Hobby) Schnellboot S38

[Dave Ward]

Andy,
the S--boats in the Mediterranean were transferred by the French Canal System, so a boat in a lock is a possibiity - I was looking for pictures, but could only come up with this.............

Yep, that's the lines I was thinking along Dave. Not necessarily in a lock, but what a brilliant idea. Damn another night I'll be awake at 3am thinking of ways to construct it... such is the life of a modeller.

This is going to be a silly question. How do you add emoji.

[Andy T]

They are in the options at the top when typing your reply.

If you are using the desktop version it's pretty obvious which button to press, but they are condensed in the mobile version.

There's 3 dots about halfway along, next to the button for adding pictures. Press the three dots and you'll get more options, including a smiley face. Hit that and the available emoji will appear.

Thanks for that, easy when you know how. :rolling:

[andy55]

Still lots to do, but it's a start.

[andy55]

Got the lock walls done, will need repainting and the water is in to correct levels. Will get on with surrounding area while it drys.

Quick update and a question.
Been busy with other things so just doing bits here and there. Pic of the down stream lock gates, but not sure about the water. Trying to get the boiling water as the lock drains but not convinced I've succeeded. Views please.

Well at long last its finished. Did some more work on the down stream water, which I think works. The figures are refugees from the Luftwaffe. Actually the guy coming out of the building, it was his stag night and in their ultimate wisdom decided to nick a schnellboot.
