Battleship Torpedo
Torpedo machined out of aluminum and used as a element buck for underwater shots. Inside is a pressure chamber that was filled with air and thinned-out white tempera paint that would shoot out of finely machined holes in the aft end, spinning the dual screw props and propelling the torpedo down fine wires. 24" long x 3" dia. 1:3 ratio. Also included is a hand made anchor out of steel with a hand welded anchor chain. This miniature was shot underwater as the ship drops anchor. Rigged with an airline that would stream bubbles as it drops. 13" tall x 7" wide. 1:4 ratio.
