May I introduce...
« on: October 01, 2008, 07:40:12 pm »

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls...I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce to you all....the USS Dragonfish(aka, the Guppy that never was)

It's based on a Revell Gato kit and altered to be my interpretation of what the Dragonfish would have looked like if it was concieved...which it wasn't.

Construction is coming along at a steady pace, the WTC tube arrived today, so that's next on the agenda, but for now...a sneak preview. The sail is almost completed, and was scratchbuilt from plastic card, brass/alloy tube and bits from my previous (abandoned) Gato kit. The rear dive vanes and rudders are done, just awaiting the arrival of the propshafts and props.

I will post some better/clearer pics up tomorrow when there is more daylight and my new batteries are charged up in my digicam thingy.

Batteries aren't fully charged, but it did manage to take two pics which are a bit better...

Well, thank you kind sirs...most generous of you.

Fear not, Dragonfish will be well and truly weathered, I hate clean boats.

Sub...my girlfriend told me I was unconventional. Dunno what she could have meant by that.... :embarrassed: O0
