    Elastic powered sub for kids

    Hi everybody!
    A few weeks ago my grandchildren asked me to built them toy subs...
    So, I did.
    I do'nt know if it is the right location to post this, if not, please be kind to move this thread to a better one.
    Here are some pics :

    Hi Pablo
    looks like a great project.
    BTW - sorry I missed you when you visited to Australia, I have been lazy and I neglected to read all my PMs.
    Anyhow am keen to see how this project turns out.
    Best

    You would not steal a wallet so don't steal people's livelihood.
    Think of that before your buy "cheap" pirated goods or download others work protected by copyright. Theft is theft.
