1/700 HMJS Marley Jamaican Navy Submarine

WOW! Thank you for all the comments & encouragement!
Most of you that know me, already know that "Make a Model, make a Joke" is a favored mantra of mine.

After much fine sanding & filing, a whole lot of dropping, bouncing and finding, HMJS Marley has Her screw. (propeller to you Landlubbers!) A few small details to add. Flag, Radio Whip, camo for periscopes and Bridge crew.
Fatties are lit!
I hope Marley will debut at 2019's Hope It Don't Snow" show in Stewartville MN. 2 February.

Iff'n it Don' make no snowin's Mon!

I made a cool decal for the base. Carefully trimmed the white decal paper away, Heaved a big sigh, and dunked it to apply it to the base. I didn't remember to seal the ink on the decal paper.
The ink ran like Jesse Owens at the 1936 Olympics.
ZORN! :bang head

DO OVER! :smack
I'm getting really good at trimming the spires on the Jamaican Defence badge! :rotf

Freezing rain today. NO Rolling Pins!
 
No Hookey, truly. Freezing rain here at the White Oak Hull & Drydock company. All land transport is restricted to
Priority One or Emergency. Necessities are well stocked.

I doubled down on the Jamaican Defense Force crest. (THIS I did not dream up) I printed pictures too.
Laser etched Nameplate will finish off the base.

Depth markings & red hatch rings. Marley's flag is almost ready to install and bridge window details, after the clear flat is applied.

Thanks for being part of my Fun!

Flagged, Tamiya flat coated (using the SECRET formula!) and ready to travel Up North!
The bridge crew will have to wait.
I'm really happy with how this Boat came out. Special thanks to Iron Mike for sending such cool bases for my ridiculous, teensie projects! :ro:

Atlantic Ocean, present day

Sonar: Sir, we've been picking up anomalies from the Sargasso Sea.

Captain: What does it sound like, Sonar?

Sonar: It sounds like music, sir.

Captain: Music?

Sonar: Yessir! Sounds like a party of some sort. I'll put it on the speaker.

What will happen to Felix in our next exciting episode?
