Revells really rather lovely U-Boat in 1/144th scale, the Das Boot 40th anniversary issue with the paints and a film poster, added the superb Youngs miniatures Captain bust to the mix, lovely clean casting and details.

Have had a hankering to build a seascape, and thanks to you-tube I hit upon the "Tin foil and kitchen roll" method, extra wave and wake effects added  using cotton wool liberally soaked in gloss varnish, all brush painted.

Ugh, just looking at this makes me feel all queasy and claustrophobic.  You've certainly captured the essence of the film and the boat itself.  Superbly well done, especially the sea.  I now have a hankering to build one myself, though I think we'll all have a heck of a challenge to meet the standard that you've set with this one!
