Goji308 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) 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. Here is a link to the “ build “if you care to follow my building process. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235099254-revell-uboat-viic-“wolf-pack”-05015-172/ Thank you for looking and commenting. Goji/ Brian if you would like to see more detailed (closeups) photos of this uboat I have more on my personal website: https://www.briankirkseyphoto.com/Unlisted/n-D5NHZc/Revell-U-82-U-boat-172-custom-build If you would like to read more about the interesting U-82 visit www.uboat.net. https://uboat.net/boats/u82.htm Edited December 1, 2021 by Goji308 Added a photo 46 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adm Lord De Univers Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 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...
