I'm not sure how I'll display it yet, piggy backed on a mother boat would be nice.

That would be nice it may be a little on the big side if it were though.

interesting choice Dave, looks like its a nice little kit,

you could always have it just sitting on the dock in the ,holder thing waiting to be loaded on the mother sub,

[BBdave]

I have started the base Im looking to create the reached sub scene after the Pearl harbour attack. so by routing the rough shape of the sub in plywood allowing the stern to be lower i can have a slight slope to the beach then i covered it with filler. then put wet cling film on and pushed the sub in to create a bed for it then used a stick to make runs where the receding water flows after each wave, well that's the effect Im after we'll see when it dries and covered in sand .

the sub looks great Dave like the rush lines and weathering so far,

what a very good idea,like the sounds of that,as you can see it is working

[BBdave]

Fingers crossed. I have put the sand on when that's gone dry I will do the water which I think will make or break it but it's another new technique to try .

will be looking forward to seeing how it turns out Dave,

That is going to be interesting.

Good work on the sub.

Here's this mornings progress the sub in position the gaps backfilled with sand then a wet pva mix syringed on i left the top dry to give the appearance of wet sand when i add the water which Im really not looking forward to .
