I got a gift from a mate and his son a couple of years back a U-Boat photo and a cap badge replica so wanting to do a similar look to the photo with this build Main hull built it could be a Quick one this build And the photo Beefy 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlin56 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Another "Reasons to feel queasy" seascape underway (think Ian Drury: Reasons to be cheerful, part 1) should be another masterclass :clap: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 This should be ideal for your style of seascape! Martin Yes Martin Wet Cold and Slopy just like me the missus says Are you going for a box art replication? Yes Darby will be trying to get it very much like the box artwork I Hope Another "Reasons to feel queasy" seascape underway (think Ian Drury: Reasons to be cheerful, part 1) should be another masterclass :clap: Not sure about the masterclass mate but will try and entertain the public at least And thanks again for the help full link will be keeping that one handy for other projects Oh and like the new signature not sure my bosses would approve as they are Japanese company Beefy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefy66 Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 I can see this is going to be another one of those comic interlude type builds back to the Sub for now I will only be using Vallejo primer paints on this build with some liquid pigments and oil washes to weather the drain pipe ( No sponsorship is used during this build ) Panzer grey primer used first on the Hull Similar paints used on my old mine layer version Will be trying to get a box art type likeness to the seabase.

Martian Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Do you have some figures lined up? It would look really cool with some crew members on the conning tower trying to keep warm. Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would look really cool with some crew members on the conning tower trying to keep warm. Martin Martin no crew want to display this as just coming out of the water I Hope So been a while since I posted on this busy a work but had today off and got cracking most of the fittings have been added and the painting started bit of pre-shading Then mask off lower hull and paint the light Grey upper next a coat of varnish and then add decals and another coat of varnish should make a start on the base tomorrow Cheers Beefy 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to it Cheers K Cheers mate not much interest in this little project probably not as colorful as my previous attempts Small update I have painted the wood deck with burnt Umber oil paint and then started on some weathering with some scratches and chipping added with a small sponge I have started on the base but not going to show progress until I get to the interesting bits Beefy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob 1 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 It's getting to the more interesting stage now; certainly looking good so far, the deck particularly sets it off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 small update I have started to add the fine rigging and using PVA glue to simulate the insulators. I have also started on the sea base and carved out the wave shapes not to sure if I need to get the aft down a bit more as I want to try and have the boat as just coming out from the water as an emergency surface so maybe the bow should point up more any advice or thoughts on this would be appreciated please Beefy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has some of the best foul weather at sea footage ever IMHO. Your sea and the sit of the ship look fine to me 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice gentlemen will start to build up the sea level with the silicone after I have the sides of the base in place and secured Cheers Beefy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAYELL Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Looking good mate. Nice angle coming out of the water. Awaiting your superb watery effects.......starting to feel seasick already. Cheers K 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 OK small update base sides done and painted just tweaked the angle slightly to try and achieve this Also been tring out what I thought was fine copper wire for the side rails but it looks to thick so will remove and use same thread as for rigging Cheers Beefy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
