Next job clean up the joins and then fasten it down onto the 2mm base plate. 
Now what to use for the water/foam - have seen cotton wool or strips of toilet paper used but people say it yellows with age (the cotton wool not the people) any ideas  :P  :P  :P  :P
DAS Modelling clay, then painted.
Mod Podge?
Grumpy by name and nature

All gaps filled and most of the discrepancies between the levels of the plastic removed - now only 174 hours of filling with progressively smoother files to get a decent finish - ohhhhh the joys of model making hohohho

As smooth as its going to be - untill the coat of primer shows any really bad bits.  Its now fastened down to the base plate, so will have to leave it to go solid - sounds like time for more coffeeeeeeee

All extra bits (all 6 parts) now fitted and holes in sail filled in.

Thank you Cap Ahab - she has now had first coat of gloss black, think she will need a second and maybe a third coat, we shall see.

Yes even after 3 coats of spray still showing as shades of black, will try some brush paint next - or could just cover it in water  :o  :o  :o

Base made for the sub to break out of - needs some filling and priming, now what colour shall I do the base as some of the water is going to spill out onto it  :P  :P  :P  :P

Sticking with the black- when I can get a sigle colour on the hulland the sea will be very light blue from the Pacific - thats the plan at the moment.
