Submarine Explorer 1:200 Scale

Gents

I present my build of Rocketman Tans model of the submarine Explorer:

Submarine Explorer 1:200 Scale-sub-01.jpg

The original model has been rescaled down to 1:200 scale, to fit in with my other boat models. She was printed out on 90gsm paper using a laser printer at work.

The pages were given a coat of matt varnish. Any structural parts were laminated to 1mm card. The base uses 2mm self-adhesive mount board.

I didn't realise the original submarine still exists, albeit in a bit of a state:

And finally a link to the builders site:

Looks like something out of a Jules Vern novel!

Oh, my, it looks like the real one isn't going to last much longer. Thank goodness we have the model.

Very nicely done.

Yes, looks like it needs just a little more than a new coat of paint!
