Darby Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Finally got something to post after a long time. A brief interlude before my Tirpitz build resumes shortly.Took advantage of a window of blue sky today for the outside shots but yes it's raining again. Not show stoppers but I quite liked the builds. Just used various grey paints and washes and pastels. Tried a bit of a camo scheme on the Seehund for a bit of variation. Anyway, here they are, like 'em or loathe 'em I'm not fussed I'm going to play convoys and wolf packs on my bedroom floor 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sub-builder Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Awesome, both Revell kits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Awesome, both Revell kits? Yeah, Re-pops of ICM kits. The Seehund doesn't come with the glass dome but I had a spare 1/72 astrodome. The IIB hasn't got the torpedo doors detailed so just stuck a couple of bits of plastic rod port and stbd. as a crude representation of hinge work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefy66 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Darby those are 2 great looking little builds and a very neat paint finish on both I like the camo on the seahund is it done free style with the airbrush or did you mask to get the lighter markings. Either way cracking builds there mate Beefy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way cracking builds there mate Beefy Cheers Keith, The Seehund was freehand. I was hoping for a thin line type camo scheme but I had a paint/airbrush issue half way through so had to strip and clean the airbrush and change the scheme. A tiny bit of debris in the nozzle caused much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Oh Sunderland scraped a point yesterday. Still one less than a cocktail stick though.
