Thanks Sabalo.

While waiting for paint to cure before oils, the screws were installed.
The screws are Reboesh brass screws, weathered for 1 year in salty water, and vinegar.

Siara thanks a lot! I repeat you must present this U-boat in a model show; it has to be enjoyed in person!!

Siara · 02-02-09, 09:49 AM

Thanks Sabalo- check your PM- im sending you my phone number, ring me, and when you going south through London, you are more than welcome to visit me in Streatham, and have look.

I masked the fade line few more times, and applied filters- it gave the nice spread of fading.

Siara I still hope some day you change your mind about entering her in a competition....

Easily the best looking u-boat model I have ever seen.

Looking good Siara!

Can't wait to see it all done

Siara · 02-06-09, 11:44 AM

Im slowly getting my head round painting the figures, and just bought few sets of Vallejo paints- aparently best paints for painting the figures money can buy.
I need to read some tutorials about them.
I dont want my figures to let the overall look of the sub down.
