hi squiffy,
the supermodels videos cover lots of model making topics, from RC aircraft to rc trucks, model railways to the company that produces a model beating heart for surgeons to practice on !- and everything in between, there was some one who built an RC airship, someone who builds model tanks, RC subs, architectural modelmakers and someone who had engineered a working model of an insect to fully understand the aerodynamics of insect wings in flight !- there is bound to be something in there that is of interest- the topics are wide and varied !

back to the sub, the lights are white and red LED, the leds are built into the light housing and clear resin is carefully poured on top, this ' pots' the LED and makes in watertight- the clear resin is the type used to make paperweights.... crystal clear and very strong....
the sub is built to a scale of 1 to 10 -the central body is a spun fibre pressure vessel, and the tolerances in the wall thinkness is not fantastic- but it keeps the internals safe and dry !- it will withstand over 300psi !
but 1 to 10 was used to scale the details and the body and tanks.....

dont think i have seen the working ferrari... but will do some searching now - sounds cool !
