If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Photo's of where I'm at:

Photo's were taken in the garage as there's a bit of a stiff breeze outside. making photography a bit difficult against the usual backdrop.
















Now a few edited shots:











Hope that satisfies the current cravings! ;)

Next up is a bit of scribing...

...followed by the paint scheme! :wacko:

I like how it's turning out.  :thumbsup:  Wished I'd have thought of it. Is the long bulge on top of the submarine for missile tubes/silos?
Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.
My modeling philosophy is: Don't build what everyone else has done. Build instead what nobody has seen or done before.

Thank you, gentlemen! :bow:

Working on a full suite of modern-styled sensors (periscopes, radar, ESM, Nav, Comm's, snorkel (yes, even modern nuke-boats have snorkels)). :thumbsup:

Well you know, after the fresh food runs out and the galley's been serving chili for three meals per day, 3x a week, you have to change out the air.

Can "air"  so heavily charged with the effluvia of constant chilli eating be run through the auxiliary diesel  as an alternative fuel source?

That's looking good sir  :thumbsup:

Somehow I've an image of the great Sir David Attenborough holding this in his hand and saying "in the Cretaceous age Buccanasaurus was known to roam the oceans in search of prey"  ;)

I didn't think the weather affected submarines................  ;)
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
