Mozzy19 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Here’s my first foray into the world of submarine modelling. I scratch built the railings for the Wintergarten and some of the other railings because the kit offerings weren’t great. I used 0.6mm rod which is a little over scale, but it’s all I had. The propellor shafts were also replaced because the kit ones were more oval in cross section than round. Finally I replaced the anti aircraft guns with 3D printed versions from Shapeways which is a first for me. The kit stand is still in primer because I want to replace it but I’m not sure what with yet As usual any comments and pointers are welcome, I can use them in the Trumpeter Gato I have in the stash Sean 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robgizlu Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Nice work Sean I like the weathering - intrigued by the Shapeways 20mm offerings You've made me get my VIIC 41 out to ponder Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzy19 Posted March 31, 2019 Author Share Posted March 31, 2019 Thanks Rob. I used these https://www.shapeways.com/product/JHFYJE9SP/1-144-dkm-double-20mm-c-30-flak-w-shield?optionId=93725878&li=ostatus 20mm mounts. I simply removed the shields to make them suitable for the U-Boat. I wasn’t quite careful enough removing the shield on one and managed to snap one of the barrels so one is a tad wonky Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
