Herring Jävlar! PICS! AND TEXT! 11/9 p 16

Oooh, I'd say the fumes and disorientation are worth it.

Cheers mate!
I've done most of the railing. And the front basket. A bit crooked, but we can't all be blessed with a tool shack and patience such as Jimbibblys
Now I only got about a 100 rivets to do. I feel blessed beyond blessings...

Like what you've done though, looks the part and yet functional at the same time. I would've said the crookedness was due to age and use... 

cheers

That's why only do silly fantasy or silly PA. In the grim darkness of the far future there is only crooked.

I likes it very much 

And I am also very impressed by the tidy work surface ..... What? No glue drops, paint splatters, knife gouges, blood stains...,,

The upside of the crappy iphone 5 camera. Shitty macro
But I tend to be tidy when I glue

please silversixx, take a bow.. or is the saying 'prow'? 

The railings blooming fantastic, that's what it is!

That is bloody brilliant, Skander, me old mucker!
 

From ladyshave to stunning water conveyance in a few swift moves.
 

Love it, mate.
Great design.
Love it!

So, some extra work has been done. I drilled the whole ship (well, not the whole ship as per say, but all railings and the exterior hull). That took some time. Thankfully it was at the end of Joe Abercrombies lovely book "Red Country", so time flew by!

Here's a shot of some details near the crane (or the ladyshave as Mason calls it )


The crane has a function, and I hope to switch between a fishing net, and a mini submarine!
I found one on ebay. All was joy, well, until I realised that I have no clue how big an US Cent is... So I ordered two, with the hope of maybe doing one half submerged, and one hanging from the crane. Turned out that it was a lucky buy, since they were tiny. Fortunately, I always follow the plan of cutting stuff in pieces and then see what I can do with the whole thing when I reassemble it.
This is how it looks on the ebay shop:



And this is how it looks after me sawing it to pieces, gluing the two hulls together and than adding a lot of plastic card for the fins and rudder. And the hatchet one need to enters. I also bulked it up a bit. I believe that I, after seeing the pics, need to bulk it a bit further. Not that much, but enough to make it look like a crammy science sub from the 60's.


And here with some extra detailing (I'm doing the whole putty filling in one go in the end for all the elements of this build)


From another angle


Still loads to do. I haven't found a suitable cockpit yet for example

[Silent Invader]

Ingenious! 

[Centaur_Seducer]

Ingenious! 

Cheers mate!
And as you can see, glue dribble!

[Mason]

Ingenious! 

Bloody ingenious!
  

That is inspired, my crazy little herring-eating friend.
 

And the 'crane' looks lovely too.
 

[Centaur_Seducer]

Thank you mate!
I've been trying to send you a can of Herring. But the shipping was 30 quid and I felt that it was perhaps a bit unfair when the product costs 3 quid
But I'm still trying to find a solution so you and the missus can enjoy the lovely pickled herring with mustard and bacon sauce...

[Mason]

 

You Nutter!

That looks great 

Love the detail work and the mini sub reminds me off an ork fighter from 40k 

cheers

Now that you're mentioning it. And now it's forever destroyed
Hopefully the round cockpit and another round of "fattening" might help it look more sub, and less eh, zoom?
I forgot to add that I'm building the small grabbers in the front as well
