Thanks for the suggestions... I've got some more grey plates. Some technical
questions:
- where should it get longer -overall, foredeck, afterdeck?
- does it need extra width as well? (it would need to gain a bit to keep the
curve, but how much?)
- can you direct me to some suitable pics of the real thing?

Yes, I've dug one out of a cupboard. I'm hoping that that, combined with
some sunlight will yield some better pics.

Hmmm... my attack sub, the Olbrook (see
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=7536 and
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=6043) is on its way to the
scrapyard now, so there would be a few torpedoes lying around...
Just out of interest, how would they be mounted on a boat/ship like the
Snottler (or Snottler V2)?
