I am in utter awe of your talent and dedication. I know how difficult it can be to create such a large themed area as I am currently doing the same to my car...lol
My hat off to you sir, a fine job on this conversion!

Soooo...when are you converting the rest of your house to submarine excellence? I'm sure by now the missus is quite impressed by your work shop and is eager for you to expand into the rest of the house.  |

But that is as far as it goes................... To be fair she did give up 20 inches of her space so I could put my model shelves outside of the room. Bless her heart. |

Hello all: One of our forum members ( Maets) found a very cool light in a flea market. He purchased it and sent it to me as a gift. It will go perfectly in my work shop. Thank you so much Maets !!! This light has a 12 volt lamp inside and a red lens cover. I want to install a bright light inside that will turn on and blink on and off using a motion detector.  I'm not exactly sure where I'll mount it. Here I temporarily hung it on the wall.  Thank you Maets !!!!!!!!!!! |

Nice thought Maets, & it fits right in, too.
Um, do you have any spares for when my bathroom gets renovated later in the year? Unfortunately, it's not going to be steam-punked, but I may be able to sneak something small in when the plumber isn't looking!!

That looks almost exactly like the red lights used on US submarines during weapons loading evolutions....they indicate that deck plates in the vicinity have been removed, so there's a fall hazard. Very authentic......and brings back tedious, unpleasant memories of many, many loading and unloading evolutions over the past 6 years.

When I saw the piece at the flea market I knew where it belonged. Glad to make a very minor contribution. Kind of like a drop in the ocean.
I am positive it is from a naval vessel of some sort and quite possibly a submarine. It was covered in grey paint when I got it, glass and all.
Smooth sailing to the Captain and crew.

Well Maets, having painted many a submarine passageway during my naval career, I can say without a doubt that the entire thing being covered in grey paint definitely conforms to official US Navy painting techniques.
"Paint once for dust, and twice for rust!"

Yes, I remember my time in the Navy and painting EVERYTHING grey. And, when you give a new recruit a paint brush and tell him to paint everything, he will paint the red lens of a light along with everything else.  |

Just finished catching up on this thread. Captain Salt your work is incredible. I'm afraid no praise I can give would be high enough to truly equal the quality of your efforts in this endeavor. Thank you so much for the inspiration.

"Toilet" + "Weapons loading warning light" = The most epic OCCUPIED sign ever! I think it should go with a "Torpedoes in the water" plaque.. and an alarm siren..  |

Hummm, an occupied light........... Maybe I should mount the light on the outside of my room. And have it light up whenever the room is occupied. |

My bathroom is only 2.1mx1.6m (7'x5'4"), so I think it would be a bit too much. I am thinking of something a little more subtle!

Yes — "subtle" is the first word I would not choose to describe that bathroom. |

This got sent to me today and this thread was my first though. I like the Beatles down the side of the 'Yellow Tub-marine' (see what I did there?) but the rest is a bit too much for me. I'd have stuck with the Yellow Submarine theme and had the walls painted either like Pepperland or the Sea of Monsters..with a Blue Meanie lurking in a corner somewhere.. |
