Excellent progress Jack. The uboat is really coming along and the weathering looks great.
Keep up the great work :thumb2:

Great finishes, really out standing.

Most realistic (like me - subdued but brilliant!) Seriously though, really impressive understated result!

I'm still with you here, Jack!!! Great figgies and your weathering with oils is coming on superbly too. It really makes the details pop out and shows realistic wear and tear. Good stuff Sir!!!...

A few detailed shots of the starboard weathering progress. I'm really happy so far. Biggest challenge will be not to take it too far (may already be too far) but I like where it's at.

What I'm debating and wondering how to, is water marks/salt build up especially on the lower hull. I could quite easily ruin things if I go the wrong way about it! Welcome to any thoughts.

Thanks Tony. With next to no colour reference photo's...it's pretty much a DIY blank canvas.

Looking very good, Jack.

Tremendous work Jack, looks very nice!!

Cheers Bob. Thankfully no where as much PE as your builds, though you are making it look easy!

Result is just amazing.

For salt marks i would probably check out some hull weathering techniques on u tube.

 

[Jack L]

And all of a sudden, it clicked, and I decided it done. I think. May not be. May do more.
















Figures and accessories still to come. C&C most welcome. Enjoy
