Nice pics there

My boat is still in the construction phase, although it's nearly finished I have some final jobs to do. Unfortunately I have been very busy at work and my time has become limited - I even have very little time for SH3

Goose_green...build one of those for me and I'll pay you $200

Nice pics silverGhost

,

@subwolf, you can get the kits at most online hobby stores--I ordered theVIIC "wolpack" through squadron.com for $72.usd--then actually found it in a local hobby store for $55.usd

--also, some cool scale bridge and deck gun crew figures to add to the package and PE sets for more detail---scroll through the model & book forum here and there are some more pics w/different paint schemes shown.

@Goose_green, I looked through your thread at ubi---great job-especially giving progress updates---helps us new builders better than instuction pages

Thanks for that link U-snafu! Excellent site

There is even a $2,500 type VII kit

a huge model with brass decks! I want that one

The picture shows the REVELL model kit. Check their website. A 1/72 scale Gato has just been released, too. It´s 1,30m long!

I´m looking forward to building it in my Christmas holidays!

Cheers, AS

You have to remember the scale of the model is 1/72...meaning, 1" on the model is 6' on the real deal.

For you modellers out there...weathering is a very subtle thing on a model. Get too heavy-handed with it and you've blown the scale effect. You can't see a paint chip in 1/72nd scale...and rust and fading paint has to be kept in context with what your eye "sees".

The pics really don't do it justice...it turned out very well.

Good work SG, I'm impressed, you did a fine job.
