  1. There are some hosted pictures gone i see.... Below are some replaced pics...
  2. Thanks everybody for the kind replies! Soon i will try to replace some lost pics.. Karel
  3. Well done Deacon! The weathering looks very convincing! Good too see the amount of subs here on the forum looks to be increasing.
  4. Another U-boat! Well done Deacon, very nice model!
  5. Very, very impressive.... Congratulations on your beautiful and neatly build Arizona.
  6. The effect of the oil canning is less visible because of the matte paint finish, in order to compensate this i highlighted each panel with my airbrush. Please don`t mind the different color tones in the pictures, they were taken with different light/camera settings. Karel
  7. The oil canning was quite a time consuming job, i `scraped` each panel until i reached the desired hollow shape with a round scalpel knife. To achieve a steel like skin on the lower welded panels i used a Dremel tool. Pictures say more then words: One half finished.. Tools i used for this job..
  8. Thank you so much for the positive comments, i just posted some pics in the vehicle section of another motorcycle i builded a couple of years ago, a (very dusty) BMW Paris-Dakar rally bike.
  9. Hi, here are some pics of a BMW 1000GS, wich i made a couple of years ago. I upgraded the kit with as many details as possible, with the help of pictures from the original BMW. The complete building proces can be seen here: http://cs.finescale.com/fsm/modeling_subjects/f/4/t/122126.aspx?sort=ASC&pi240=1 Thanks for looking, Karel
  10. Nice to see another U-boat! Great paintjob, the shadings are very convincing, and i like the `salty` white spots too. Karel
  11. Wow..incredible job, very pleasant to the eye! I like these heavily weathered vehicles Karel
  12. Nicely build U-boat! I do have one small comment; there should be no rust underneath the waterline because the lack of oxygen in water. Of course, if the boat should lay in a drydock for a while, there would be rust everywhere. Anyway, nice looking model Karel
  13. Hi Bert, another Dutchie? The boat is about 1 meter long. I don`t know how much i spend in total for the accesoires, i think about 150 Euro`s. The best aftermarket parts in my eyes were the laser cut wooden deck, the brass anti aircraft guns and the metal deck parts, these really add realism to the model. I forgot to tell that i enhanced the wooden deck by adding wooden `plugs`. The real deck was mounted on the hull with bolts, the holes in the planks were closed with wooden plugs. I dupicated these plugs with wooden `partysticks`. After weathering the wooden deck these plugs are hardly noticable, but i know they are there.. The metal deck plates on the front and the aft of the deck really enhance the look in my opinion. I also found another pic of the hull somewhere on my harddisc, i really like this pic because of the metal-like shine of some area`s, i achieved this just by rubbing these area`s with my fingers. Last year i didn`t build anything because lack of time, i am planning to build a 1/72 flower class corvet in the future... Karel
