    Here is my Steampunk Pike.
    She is still a work in progress.
    Eventually it will be static dive.
    Length 40"
    Width 11"
    Height 14"
    There is still a lot to do including weathering.

    Martin.

    I think I just found a simple way to turn what you have done in your project into a good looking model.
    It has a similar body shape.

    Love to see inside the ship pics. Is it diving or surface only. That would be great at periscope depth in pond. Great paint job

    Are there many model trawlers on your lake? If so, you'd better be careful.

    Cats of course Doug, they ruin our garden and are always after my fish. The dog does his best, but he can't always be outside. I'd rather the local otters at least they only visit a couple of times each year.

    "But I want to make something really wacky."
    Oh no! Another Morse Code 'paper chase'!๐Ÿ˜ฎ
    How about binary or hex code this time Martin? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ
    0011 1001 0001 1111 - 0100 1111 10101 0111 ๐Ÿ˜Ž
    (Binary equivalents of the number of the letters in the alphabet๐Ÿ˜)
    BTW: You don't HAVE to be wacky to build models, but it helps!๐Ÿ˜‰
    (You'll probably end up wacky anyway!)

    Believe it or not I am not really a sub type of guy.
    I have still got to finish my Gato and Cottesmore.
    But I want to make something really wacky.
    I have something in mind but I need to work a few things out to see if it will work.

    Colour looks coppery on my monitor Martin๐Ÿ‘
    Clean fresh copper is pink anyway.
    It just struck me that our very own 'Mactin', the recycled tin clockwork sub man, would be proud to have built that!๐Ÿ˜‰

    Marky; I'm assuming you mean 'biscuits' ๐Ÿ˜

    Staggering! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜Š
    Doesn't need weathering Martin, looks great as she is, fantabulose!
    Look forward to the internals detail (Similar to your Gato?) and trials vid๐Ÿ‘
    '20,000 Leagues Under the Fishpond'.

    BTW; What do you feed it? ๐Ÿ˜
    Pikes have a nasty bite don't they?

    Absolutely brilliant Martin, you should bring it over (down under) to the Oamaru festival, I'm sure it would be a hit! Look out Captain Nemo!
