Hi all,
just ahead of my birthday the other day a Mr. Ogrefencer from the VSF Aeronef community, visiting Malta, gave me a great big box of bits. One of the smaller boxes inside, labelled 'Aquanef', contained an almost-completed scratchbuild. I just added a mast from the BFG stuff also in the box and painted it. And here she is, generic Aquanef no. 1. She looks a bit modern, but that's because like most subs she's just a cylindrical pressure vessel with fins. Although her steam exhilerator propulsion is anything but conformal...  :p

PS - Aquanef is a game which is still in the design stage (er, as far as I know), and should be similar to Aeronef. Think Captain Nemo and the Nautilus multiplied many times over, and you've got the idea.

Surely instead of on bases they should be on winches for raising or lowering!
