Stingray - ready to launch.....

Post by RangerNeil »

Doyusha's release of Gerry Andersons classic Stingray submarine. The interior has been scratch built and the lighting that was originally bulbs replaced by LED's. The original battery box was removed to make way for the interior so the power comes from an external power box with I/O switch via the brass strips in the base board and brass strips in the underside of the submarines skids.

      repeating what I said in the build string, very neat and quirky, I like it a lot.

      The extra details make this one special

      Lovely job Neil, very well done. I wonder if you could find a Marina figure to swim along side?

          Thanks :) - it was a case of using polishing compound to get the shine as whenever I spray gloss from the airbrush it always turns out flat !!
