Hi everybody!
A few weeks ago my grandchildren asked me to built them toy subs...
So, I did.
I do'nt know if it is the right location to post this, if not, please be kind to move this thread to a better one.
Here are some pics :

Hi Pablo
looks like a great project.
BTW - sorry I missed you when you visited to Australia, I have been lazy and I neglected to read all my PMs.
Anyhow am keen to see how this project turns out.
Best
