Excellent work! :yeah: I think the rust and weather works. I have the smaller scale model (Revell) but never gave it more than a basic paint job. I've got a 1:144 scale Type XXI sitting in a box that I should start in on.

I like it and don't thing the rust is overkill at all. Great work!:up:

Haha, great work. The funny thing is, I have that very kit sitting in front of me that I've just finished spraying with a primer!

A Great Work of Art......:salute::salute:....the weathering looks just right........Keep up the great work.....:yeah::yeah:

Looks great!

Is this the stock kit?
Did you get all the brass bits and scratch build parts and all that?

Please tell me it's straight from the box! I don't have the space, money or the patience for all the detailing kits, air brushes and tools.

That Zvezda 1:72 Carthaginian Quinqerime I bought would be looking a lot more tempting and achievable if you told me this was a "straight from the box" model....

Wheres my photo? :DL

Sorry about the delay!!

Here she is... Just weathering her up at the moment

A mixture of modern and old. That Spitfire is a massive 1:32 scale and is pure metal.

Those are very nice sir...you must be very proud to have such a fine collection http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

Thanks Jim, sure am! it's taken years to collect!

Hi there.

Everything you see on my U-Boat is "stock" so to speak. I used revell paints and some basic different sized brushes. Used MiG powders for the rust.

The only thing was I used the "Rope" on the deck gun from a coil of string supplied with the corvette.

Enjoy making a model, perhaps with someone else. It's a great bonding experience.

Sorry to bump the thread chaps, just thought i'd leave the last photo of the U-Boat as this:

Approximately 1 month and 3 weeks of blood, sweat, tears and breaks and she's finally complete.

I hope you enjoy the pictures. She was a joy to build.

Next up, a 1944 Tiger Tank :arrgh!:

What a wonderful collection,I'm green with envy:salute::salute::salute:

Had this model once, too. Wasn't it U-99, so this:

Mine broke on a moving day, though. But your one looks nicer, anyways ;)
