The swamp monster is a pile of upside down tree stumps that I have collected, and put in the front yard.  Easy up keep and very little water ;D



Gardening is certainly "different' out there in the desert southwest, Jimbo ...  ;D

The "real" gunner is at his battlestation, but should be in no danger from flying boats, as you can see, we are sailing under the Swiss flag....only things in the torpedo tubes are Swiss cheese and chocolate! :yup:



The Swiss navy's subfleet on the Bodensee (Lake Constance)? Hmmm ...  :hmm:

The Wintergarten sure floats beautifuly, Jimbo !!!

But, a Swiss U-Boat on Lake Constance ... sounds like an unlikely story ... ;)

Peaceful regards,
Jimbo



We've told our anti-sub squadron to stand down for now ... But, we'll be watching ...  8-)

Seriously ... Congratulations on a job well done, Jimbo!

All the best,
Richard

we should not make fun of swiss sailing skills.  :-[
they won america's cup twice richard.  :yup:
i can see only a minor problem with this beautiful sub, jimbo - apparently it has no balast holes in its hull.  8}
... or maybe they are so well disguised in order to make richard's squadrons believe that it can only sail above the surface).  :hmm:
remarkable work jimbo, and thank you very much for sharing it with us.  :wow:

Good eye, Cachalote.  I was going to put those on with black tape, but I got lazy :-[
I think I may retro fit those and see what it looks like.

And, Thanks to all my Playmofriends for making this adventure enjoyable. :yup:
I wonder....does the Swiss navy need a BATTLESHIP? :lol:

Hey Capitano, got anything to go with this cheese?

I'm wondering too: a swiss submarine  ???

I lived over 20 years at the lake of constance and I'm sure there aren't any submarines in there ... (and I don't think that they are in the Lake of Geneva ...)

the main advantage of a submarine little jo, it's its stealth action.  >:D
i have it from a secure source - lake geneva is filled with submarines.  :yup:
i am taking a big risk in disclosing this information but what everyone thinks is a turistic gadget is actually an underwater sub base where the air is renewed.  ;)

Woow! I didn't know this. This is really interesting. Not only a war tool but also an environmental health enahancement those submarines. So actually we could be glad that in the middle of Europe such a environmental lung exists.

Your secret information for sure will be save at our ears.  :yup:

All those summers swimming in Bodensee and pedalling paddleboats...I always suspected the Swiss were spying... :lol:
