Revell 05015 U-boat ( U-82 ) “Wolf Pack” 1:72 scale

[Goji308]

What a fun build.  I enjoyed the kit.  Overall the kit was pretty straight forward and well designed.    I deviated from the plan a tad here and there.   I upgraded the weapons on the conning tower and main deck gun.  Most of the features in the conning tower I replaced with 3-d printed parts for a little more detail.  I used a nautilus laser engraved wood deck that really spoke volumes and added to the overall build. Without further rambling  here is my interpretation  of the U-82 U-boat.

Gidday again, very well done. I think the weathering is spot on, not overdone. And I think the boat looks rather sinister in the photos, in it's element appearing from the murky depths. To me it almost looks a little bit evil. But then, they were a "Damned un-English weapon" I believe. Regards, Jeff.

Brian,

 

Really good wip/build log, it's one of those I'd have been quite content to tune into day-in day-out for much longer, bit of a shame it's over really.

 

The finished build is simply stunning; the upgraded wrapons, deck, 3d and scratchbuilt parts really add to it, but it's the painting and weathering that set this apart. I like the dark backdrop too, as Jeff has said, it gives it an unease and coming from the depths vibe.

 

What's up next? I'd love to see you tackle a floaty thing instead of a sinky thing...

Excellent work, great effects, and a great WIP read. I am reading "das boot" at this time and living every moment of it.

Thanks for sharing.
