While the filler, yes the join in the hull was not good, cures I got thinking about what to do with the submarine.
I don't just want to put it on the stand, but want some sort of scenic setting.
The sub was raised 3 times that last in modern times.
The other two would have involved some heavy lifting on a ship.
So I will attempt to model the rear of a scow with some lifting gear attempting the raise the sub - the crew were still inside apparently.
So I needed some pulley blocks.
Here are my efforts.
