Title: USS Nautilus -- 90 degrees north
Post by: MSea on August 15, 2019, 12:46:26 PM: I know you are not keen on subs Haddock but have had this in the stash for a while and decided to just get on with it.
Now can you figure out what I am going to do with the 3 figures ?????
Title: Re: USS Nautilus -- 90 degrees north
Post by: MSea on August 15, 2019, 01:19:30 PM: All 5 parts of the hull fastened together - next a good clean up and some filler.
Don't need to bother cleaning up the bottom of the hull as that will go with the figures - are you confused ????? HoHoHo

Post by: MSea on August 15, 2019, 04:31:41 PM: More bits and bobs added to the hull - before any of you say I have not filled in round the ford torpedo tubes - you will not see them when the model is in situation.

Post by: MSea on August 15, 2019, 09:09:45 PM: A start made on the second figure - any ideas now -- if you need a hint "you could get a present" ???????

20,000 leagues under the sea?

Excellent idea - but wrong - try again.

Post by: zak on August 16, 2019, 10:42:20 AM: The Hunt for Red October?
The Kursk disaster?
We dive at five?

Post by: MSea on August 16, 2019, 11:18:44 AM: All excellent ideas ( The Hunt for Red October is one of my favorite films ) but again wrong - one last try and I will give you another clue !!!!
Title: Re: USS Nautilus -- 90 degrees north
Post by: MSea on August 16, 2019, 01:05:20 PM: Last clue from left to right - a polar bear, a red and white striped pole, a man in a long red coat with white fur trim and an inanimate child made object that makes your hands cold.
Now put that together with USS Nautilus - what was she the first to do ????
Title: Re: USS Nautilus -- 90 degrees north
Post by: MSea on August 16, 2019, 03:53:06 PM: A base made for Nautilus and a hole hacked into the foam to sit her down - should be about the correct level when the surface has had some filler put on it.

Post by: Haddock on August 16, 2019, 04:06:20 PM: Sail under the north pole?
Title: Re: USS Nautilus -- 90 degrees north
Post by: MSea on August 16, 2019, 06:01:25 PM: Correct Haddock - but this time they have crashed through the ice and are meeting Father Christmas and a snowman -- Before you say it YES I should get out more.
Title: Re: USS Nautilus -- 90 degrees north
Post by: MSea on August 16, 2019, 07:56:18 PM: Snowman nearly finished.
