So who is embarking on an endeavor now.
You are venturing into the realms of the black arts in my book.
You are building a boat that sinks.:laugh:

We are lucky at our club to have a few submariners, and their exploits always amaze me.

I'll be watching with interest.

Cheers.
Paul.

all i know is to keep the screen doors shut.
just wanted to build something different and did not want a so called store shelf toy style model, being i've done a few planes and many boats and having a pool and always enjoyed 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Never saw a Submarine movie i had never liked.
Thanx for your interest it'll be a first for me and had already ordered the paints to match as what my eye can sea.
besides all this fun, is it a U boat? or is it my boat? it could their boat or someone they know:sinking-guy:
