Brian's 1/48 Dkm u-Boat Type Viic U-552 Take 2


Man that really sucks, but I have to say I thought your wife was amazing buying you a replacement. Sometimes I think we underestimate our better halves and their understanding of just how much work goes into these things.

Still, personally I thought your attitude about starting afresh was excellent and the work you're doing on this build is awesome - it loos amazing!

Awesome stuff! So how many submarine movies have you watched as inspiration whilst you've been building this?

Yes Neil lots of figures more than I can actually use
If you can give it a full crew, it would show just how cramped those things used to be...
After the sudden loss of the first build I would have to have taken a long break from building a new one right off!
You are doing a cracking job and it will be impressive when finished.

Thanks Mike, I think it will look a lot better when I have done some weathering and got some oil spread around :)
