whitestar12chris Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Only one word describes your build, SUPERB!! Youve captured the right look for a U-boat, with subtle weathering and finish, looks like she has just returned from patrol. All the best Chris 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyPG Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Thanks very much guys. Makes it all worthwhile, hearing such positive feedback. It took quite a lot of will power, to resist rusting it further, and I've even stripped a lot back. I normally rely on rust and weathering to reduce the "model" like look. Great to hear it looks convincing with so little makeup. Andy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Law Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Fantastic build. Oh if only I had more room. I have two of these kits. I used to have four until Christmas. But the fact is I don't have the display room they need. However, this show just what can be done with them. Well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is still on the kitchen table after two weeks. I simply don't have another display surface long enough for it. Only today, I agreed to slide it behind the sofa, out of the way, while I find somewhere.🙁 I'm hoping to do a couple of 1:350 German ships next so that should cheer her up. Most are less than 2ft long! Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Law Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Yes, I think she will be happier with the ships seen as they will keep you busy for quite sometime considering the quality you like to achieve by what I see with the Uboot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsyouruncle Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 That looks superb, Andy. I love the paint job on her, subtle and effective. Great result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Oh that's brilliant! A real Goldilocks job on the weathering as well, just right! Alan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyPG Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Thanks very much for the comments guys. I sometimes look at it wondering if I've weathered it at all. Guess I've gone a little "weathering blind" or, I just don't know when to stop.😆 I'm glad of your reassurance that it looks about right. Cheers, Andy.
