Interesting 

Thank you!


Dremelling has happened &, because I can't run the damned thing slow enough, some minor damage has been done (nothing that can't be fixed with the judicious application of putty, which will be happening anyway).

I've also been looking at the lower parts for the slipper tanks. They're rather curved. Nothing that can't be changed with the application of weight & hot water, methinks!


I haz planz!

I like those words   

Don't paint it boring black or gray, I suggest yellow and orange!

Then you'll need some crew figures - four of them, with Mop Top haircuts, facial hair and bell-bottomed trousers.

Nope! Not likely!

And NO!

I can't visualise this Subuccubus.  I need pictures damn it pictures...

 

I'll see what I can do sometime after the Sun comes up ... After 0330hrs, now. Time for bed!

That sun will be up long before you are!

And so the Sun arose, commencing its arc across the blue Southern sky and the Old Wombat slept on.

Eventually, in the late morning, he crawled out of bed and shuffled off to find coffee and perform the usual morning functions associated with transitioning from sleep to wakefulness.

He had a chat with Mrs Old Wombat and Wombat the Younger, then Wombat the Elder Younger video-called and the Wombat family had a chat, including Old Wombat's grandson, Wombat the Youngest.

Finally, Old Wombat found himself with some free time & took some photographs of some strange plastic.


For Fred & those others amongst you who are visual people (me, for example):

It looks like a Bucc;




Until it doesn't;








I have to say that this is the worst Airfix kit I've ever tried to put together!

Even where the parts are meant to fit flush I've often had to resort to liquid styrene to glue them together because the gaps are so bleedin' HUGE!

Still a lot of grinding, filing & sanding to do, even before I get to the PSR phase.


Next up will be painting the insides of the intake & exhaust tubes, putting them together & fitting them.  While I wait for the paints to dry I'll try to sort out filling the cockpit space.


But it is a WiP, so these things are to be expected. So, onwards & (slowly) upwards!




PS: If you take the conning tower out of the image & think of that little bulge just forward of it as a command deck or bridge, how much does it look like a sci-fi starship!?

I can see the sub and star ship mate and it's looking very cool both ways..now I have to figure out which I like most now 😀

Now I can see where you're heading    Great imagination

Me too.

Starship wise it puts me in mind of the Garmillas  ships from Space Battleship Yamato.  But this is to be a submarine.
What scale do you envisage it to be?

It's looking very promising BTW.

Thank you all, gents!

Scale is 1/350 &, compared to an Astute & a Los Angeles, it's very big.

It would be if it was built by Blackburn, and solid too!
