A little gift for your SH3 Christmas tree

12-24-07, 04:01 PM

I made my list, checked it twice, found a sub that needed attention and made it nice

This is my Christmas present to all of you

I'll warn you now, if you're a fan of realistic u-boats I suggest you turn back before you have a stroke :hmm:

This piece took me bits of last night and the better half of today to finish. It's a mix of woodgrain and diamond plate that puts this boat in a league of it's own, guaranteed not to rust for as long as you survive the war!

I don't think pictures do this boat any justice whatsoever, I had to decrease the sizes almost 60% so I could fit all these on one page.
Merry Christmas everyone, and have a happy new year!

There, does that help?

Looks like an interesting scheme to cruise around in, when the war's over... if I ever get that far

Good job!

I don't recall what type of wood I used on it, but there's enough varnish and paint stainer to make it last a lifetime

Probably would last longer than Koon's furniture with his kids tearing up his house! LOL

Wood looks like Mahogany to me :hmm:
