But the scout or prop agent liked my models, but he said it would be filmed in salt water. (The SF Bay.) I said my models wouldn't do well or may not even function at all in salt water.
    Movie is Sweet November. Keanu's character helps a kid being bullied at an RC sailboat race. He pays a nerdy guy with an RC sub to wreak havoc with the other kids' boats. Click image for larger version  Name:	FB_IMG_1767848159808.jpg Views:	0 Size:	88.0 KB ID:	193123

    Tom Anderson accepted the job for that movie scene. He used a Thor Flight III Los Angeles class with an D&E Miniature WTC.

    The salt water of the bay caused disruptions with the radio signal until they rigged up an above water antennae extension.

      Yup. I know. That's fine. I have a Pict of Tom and Keanu Tom sent me in my sub files. That cartoon, the artwork looks like an old New Yorker Magazine cartoon. I miss magazines and Cartoons in many of them.

        Is Tom still in the game? I haven’t seen anything from him in ages.

        Of the approximately 40,000 men who served on U-boats in WWII, it is estimated that around 28,000 to 30,000 lost their lives.
