Kptlt. Hellmut Neuerburg,

Hello, I was just wondering what program you were using to skin. My weapon of choice is "Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo XI".

The reason I'm asking is that I've noticed one small fault with your first skin that may help to improve your overall presentation of the U-boat skin.

If you look at the drainage vents along the length of the U-boat you will notice that your skinning technique's is placing the paint over the top of the vent. Look at the vents and you will see that some are black (looks real) and some look the same colour as the paint (no good) it makes it look less realistic. There are methods to over come this and basically you need your paint to exclude the vents sector.

If you want help in this area just let me know, and I'll come to your aid. I will be out of action from Monday night till about the 20 Dec 07.

I hope this has been helpful if not just tell me to pull my head in and I'll submerge to the dark depths :rotfl:
