Oh my word - is that a crude spar torpedo?  :-*

I thought it apt for the design.  ;)

For those attending BLAM, the full extent of the model will be evident.  ::)

We don't have to bring our 'Hurt Locker' gear do we? It's not real working spar torpedo is it?

Seriously though , Damas great work!! Now back to building that cracking steamer!!! :`

@ AndyM:  Well, I do have an explosives license..... ;D

But I refer more to the fact that I like my models to be usable rather than just static display models.  More details on Friday!

As to the steamer, I will be dusting the hull off soon.  The sub build has re-vitalised me somewhat and the darkening evenings are a good excuse to re-visit her.

Of course I need to think about appropriate crew and such to ensure she is finished correctly, I'm thinking of a Baltic sea/RCW vibe rather than the classic Kong.

Oooh that sounds splendid. Perhaps the Brigade Games RCW train crew could be pressed into service... ?

Ooops. Sorry. Back on topic... Looking forward so much to seeing all this mad submarine loveliness at the weekend  :)

Water backdrop will give a better backdrop for photos of the models, temple looks a bit too busy to me.

An excellent game.  8)  Excellent work by Colin and Andy  I may just have to make some more subs to play again locally.  :)

Wonderful.

On a parallel , I had an impression there would be aquanauts on the board to, not just subs. Were there?
