Ok- now the thread is back open, i can post the progress here again.
Weathering the hull- paint fading stage 2.

I'm glad. I've really missed this. Anyone with enough patience would do himself a favor by reading the thread from the start. I've referred to it a couple of times when people asked for tips building this model - not to scare them away but to show what can be done.

I like your sig link too. You have a fine eye and hand for painting.

Just reviewed the thread from the start and have the VIIC Revell model...semi assembled... glaring at me from my man-cave shelf! I'll be hard pressed by your excellent example and superb paint work.

Thanks for reopening this thread. This is my first sub so I'm a little nervous.

Siara · 03-03-14, 03:36 AM

Thanks for nice comments.
Aktungbby- just go for it. I realised, if you don't try it, you wont learn.
I actually finished another sub before starting work on this type VII again. It sat on the shelf of doom for 3 years. I gather it was for the better. I done some models in the meanwhile to polish my techniques.
It happened some were actually quiet good, and won me numerous awards on the model shows. Some were widely published in the modeling press.
The time has come to finish what i started 6 years ago- i know some people were waiting for it to happened, some lost faith, some were just glad it never happened. So for them, and myself i'm on the mission to put the closure on it.
Some of my models from the time i stopped working on the boot: http://mastermodels.blogspot.com/2009/05/sea-foam.html

Hope you like 'em.

Weathering stage 5. More rust, and exhaust stains.

Siara · 03-04-14, 04:10 PM

Weathering stage 6- chipping.

Siara · 03-05-14, 03:26 PM

Finished chipping her. I'm awaiting the delivery of the Kriegsmarine flag printed in fine cotton. Once on the boat i will make the final pictures. Anyway- after almost 6 years she is done.
Enjoy:
