Progress on ship and submarine - and floating dock

Great progress on assembling a submarine.

That little 'bump out' near the water was a cool thrift store find - got three of them and used all three on this build. The 'mast' on the submarine was part of the thrift store find and made need some adjusting if not straight (?).

May - or may not - add a propeller at the stern.

Added a ram at the front - my variation on the Verne Nautilus afterall: JVS Naughtylust The source of the ram was just a plastic part I had laying around which needed a couple of arms sawed off.

A top down shot shwoing what, for now, will be the pilots cabin (just a plastic rectangular piece but I'd like to find something better, especially a 'bubble').

Masked off the upper portions of the tramp steamers.

Painted them a burgundy color.

Demasked after the paint dried.

Added some plank decking - just using Evergreen plastic sheet.

Did a top down painting of the planking - and added a couple of squares and a funnel (painted before adding that last). Both the submarine and tramp steamer (another one to work on) are a bit crude but I think they will work as game 'scenery' if not more. Still plan to add a bunch of details to the steamer and, maybe, a little bit to the sub.

Added the sides to the floating dock and did some rattle can painting - will need more work later which may or may not occur before the November game.
