Yes, but will it FLOAT?  Oh, wait, it is made out of wood.

Carry on, ye olde "C" dog... 
Styrene in my blood and an impressive void in my cranium.

That looks great, Greg! Where are you getting the guns from? Tamiya?

cthulhu77

Guns from Tamiya, and figures from Dragon.  Started on the plasticard sheeting, and installing hatches and doors:

Inspiration from Percocet?

Very cool Greg. What's the hull made from?

I invite all and any criticism, except about Eric The Dog, it's not his fault he's stupid

Thanks all !  I made the hull from two pieces of 2x6 scrap. The upper bits are sheet basswood, balsa, and leftovers from old r/c kits.

Did get the front gun finished off today, and started on the rear decking.

Lots of little work going on, and am building some depth charges from copper tube filled with plaster:

starting on the ladder to the crow's nest:

Love the details, Greg! Those scratch-built depth charges look great as does your work on that ladder. I think you've got another prize-winner in the making!

thanks again.   I'm using scrapwood shims to space the ladder steps three or four at a time, but oh boy, is it slow going:
