SimonL Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) Picked this up as a way of getting back to the bench after a long dry period in 2020. Brush painted with Tamiya Acrylics, finished with a brush painted coat of floor polish. Base is an old piece of scrap wood (I think it was from an old chopping board that split) with a couple of coatings of decking oil. Build thread (limited that it is) can be found here. thanks for looking. Edited February 14, 2021 by SimonL 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Dapple Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Nice job Simon, it's got a very Gerry Anderson 'Submarine of the future' look about it Cheers, Stew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Gidday Simon, I think that's a very good-looking model. I'd very much like to see it at WASMEx this year. Regards, Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean. The Astute class sub I built while back has a similar “futuristic” look - may be a feature of UK sub designers? 3 hours ago, ArnoldAmbrose said: Gidday Simon, I think that's a very good-looking model.

Besides, there isn't a set 'standard' for models to achieve before they can be entered. And I also used to feel the same way. But not anymore. I've been submitting models now for about five years I think, and some of them are a bit rough or crude. But I enjoy submitting them, hoping to encourage more 'average' (ie the majority of us) modelers to do the same. And the final clincher - subs are a bit under represented. Please give it some thought. Regards, Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme Shelter Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 seeing this has reminded me that I have 3 models of The Kursk to build. Your Sub looks beautiful, a nice way to get back to the bench for you. Good stuff, and nice and British too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
