Hi CA Sailor,

First up, thanks for your kind words.

It sounds like your really going to go for it here and most of the after market stuff you mention are well worth the money!

For the figure's, personally i would go for CMK's as these depict the crew doing what you have in mind for your finished theme. Take a look at this for a look at what you could end up with http://www.rokket.biz/models/modelsw...finished.shtml

You say that you would like to depict the boat tied up and taking on supplies, does this mean you are going to make it a waterline model? If so be aware that there will not be a lot to hold the two hull halves together, it's by no means impossible but i thought i'd mention it.

Have a look at this to see all things U-Boat http://www.modelsbymickster.com/cgi-....pl?inv=Uboote

You could save yourself some money by scratching your own pressure hull, you just can't see it when decks go on! But saying that, if you are going down the waterline road then the addition of this item could add a lot of structural re-enforcement:hmm:

Don't forget to post some pix when you get started,

All the best,

Sav.
