Hi Dave
I'll bet you're pleased with that. It looks really nice and the sea is great.

I think I would have struggled with the sea, if I'd made the base bigger - confining it to an area which only shows the wake is easier than trying to show 'undisturbed' ocean

A lovely build Dave.
Just a quick question about the full sized sub - would you know what the red and white circular part is used for, it's located on the aft deck, it looks like a large lifebelt?

I believe it marks the engine room hatch - but as to why it's red & white? - No idea, I've just gone with the paint scheme provided by ICM!
