Full hull would be probably more preferable; I plan on mounting these
on stands if possible, with the future option of having different height
stands to represent different "levels" of operation under water (more or
less pseudo-3D combat). Plastic, metal, resin - whatever works!  :-)

Oops for me, I should have been more Pacific (no, no! stop with the
puns!). 

Scale. Well, haven't really worked that all out, but am looking for
subs approximately the same size as FT ships. The idea I'm working
on is to put together an underwater scenario for ECC VI, using the
AquaZone info as inspirational reference material:

http://www.quantchem.kuleuven.ac.be/research/fysanal/members/bv/GAMES/AQ
UAZONE/aquap.html

I've been working at refining their system and pulling in more of
the FT/FB stuff for this scenario. The notes are rough, but for me,
legible enough to play out scenarios. All I need are minis to do it
with.  :-)  Hence the request.

(why this particular scenario? I plan on introducing yet another
NAC-breakaway colony - the Hawai`ian Free State - imho a more
realistic "breakaway" NAC group than most of the others; as soon
as I finish the write up for HFS - complete with some proper
pronounciation guidelines for Hawai`ian words - I'll give it to
Jerry for the GZGPedia pages)
