Finally have a working computer again.  So thought I'd post the latest WIP image of my polar Sub dio.

That's a phenomenal display!

I'd be so tempted to recycle it for a Nautilus for some Ice Station Zebra style.

You really captured the look & feel of what lurks deep beneath the North Pole.

How about a small hole in the ice with some seals and a polar bear? They would have to be pretty tiny.

What scale are the subs?  Is the ice from a kit or scratch built?

Scale is 1/700.  Ice is made from modelling clay I found at Riot Art.  The case is for 1/18 cars

Thanks.

Given its 1/700, any polar bears shown would only be a couple of mm long/high anyway.

Nice idea.. this sort of" in environment" displays work for me.

I tried it a few years back with the HMS Vanguard SSBN launching a missile submerged.

Thanks fellas.
Normally I'm finished with my entries for the local show by now, but have been a bit slack this time around. Still needs a bit of cleaning on the case, but Deep Benath the Polar Ice with Dmitriy Donskoi (TK-208) and Tigr (K-154) is done.

That would turn heads at any show worthy of the name.

Most excellent!
