    I wish I had more

    I wish I had more room in the garage! That would make a great starting point for a Verne-styled Nautilus!

      Nice find Fung. http://www.subcommittee.com/forum/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.subcommittee.com/forum/icon_cool.gif

      Nice find Fung.
      It would indeed make a nice starting point of a sub in the Verne style.
      Or just an underwater zeppelin .
      Something the Japanese aqua guys would run with their Starships and sci-fi models.
      Man!! Don't get me started!!! BD.

      According to my specs it would be about 5" dia as well.
      Nice size sub!!

        Just testing the photo system

        Just testing the photo system so I though I would show the kit.
        You can see the Verne sub is trying to get out of this Blimp!!
        It just needs some imagination.

              this thing is big, very






              this thing is big, very good fit, with very little work to turn it in to a sub,
              the center one is the subtech USS Albacore for size.

              i think almost the same size as Dumas Akuls.

              come on Dave make this one of you "fly" under thing.

                Looks like the hull is thick enough. That is a nice size. BD.

                  if thing goes right the

                  if thing goes right the other two 1/72 IJN sub should be even batter,

                  but for other parts are on a "tree" like the old day, it is no mode in the square from like what we see in kit today.
