      What sort of drive are you thinking of? I posited a fuel cell stack for a submersible drone that could take its fuel from sea water.

        I was going to follow this project, but then I realized there wasn't much chance of it having wheels
        (I have standards. Pretty low standards, but hey)

          Could!...

          Is this a design as you go or is there some reference submarine? Are you doing this with SubD or other plugins?

            No plug-ins so far although I always end up using Round Corners are many of my projects.

            No references, just for fun. I haven't done a complex model in months.

              Scale the new face slightly smaller and then continue for each section. Complete one half and then make Component. Duplicate and then reverse scale -1 the duplicate. Then mate to original.

                  Some submarines DO have wheels, mainly Russian and Swedish midget spy types for lying up in shallow waters.
