Orso Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I have thought of building an URF (UbåtsRäddningsFarkost) or Submarine Rescue Vessel used by the Swedish navy. It would probably be easiest to build it from scratch but I find it mentally easier to start from something with similar basic shapes. I looked at the drop tank from a 1/72 Italeri SAAB Gripen and found that I could use it. It was to flat so I had to add some plastic strips between the halves. I then cut it and used the front part. I filled it with Magic Sculp and also reshaped one side for less rounded corners. This has now became the tail so I started to build a new nose from Magic Sculp. The basic shape is getting there. More Magic Sculp building and a piece of plastic tube added to the bottom. a maritime match stick for size. It comes from a Cunard ship Next will be the fins 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orso Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 I keep working slowly on this. I'm not sure how I shall make the small propellers. Perhaps just some grills? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
