Looks good so far. How big is it? Would you mind sticking a biro or something next to it for the next photo for a bit of size comparison?

Hi,

It's long about 47 cm or 1.5 ft.

In the next picture i put, next to the model, a ruler

Nice work,

 

I'm adding this one to the pipeline for building soon. I was a bit in doubt about using this PE-set or the set from Griffon, Finally settled on Griffon because they add the barrels, but it's also far more expensive...

Hello everybody,
below the steps I've made until now to make the marine diorama:

I made the plexiglas box:

I placed the U-Boot:

Then I filled the box with 3 thin layers (approx 1,5 cm - 0,5 ft) of epossidic resin, colored with a bit of marine blu.
Thin layer is necessary  to avoid excessive heating:
