Sub Benchy with Keel to make float right side up in tub

All real work here was done by papi8570, so thanks papi for my kids bathtub submarine! I just wanted to make it float, not on its side, so I made a
Keel for the sub. Its not perfect, but it does the trick. I filled it with play sand from the sandbox and then epoxied the keel to the bottom of the
submarine. I didn't know the boyancy, so it was a guess. If you want it to sit a bit lower, you could add some water in after the sand. Or use
something heavier in the keel. Also, I made an internal skinnier slot, for the sand to go through and hopefully stay in place a bit better during
assembly, but the slot part doesn't print great without supports. I know because I forgot to add supports when I printed. Doesnt really matter
though, sand stays in place and you can't see it.

I printed at sub and keel at 100% size I am assuming the keel would scale with sub, but not sure.
