I must agree with previous replies; there needs to be much more 'water' added and as much as the scene conveys dynamic and dramatic action, it is pushing the boundaries of what these subs were capable of. The Type VII was not able to attain such excessive underwater speeds that would permit a surfacing where almost the entire hull would clear the water. But all things are variable and nothing is absolute... Now the N. Atlantic is a wild and wooly ocean and a sub could breach on a wave with a massive 'trough' fore and aft allowing the bow to be exposed and the propellers to bite air for several revolutions but your waters appear mostly calm and flat. I think a submarine modeler is doing themselves a disservice by not viewing the entirety of Das Boot beforehand--one of the best depictions of WWII submarine warfare, if not the best, ever.

when i use pigments i go overboard because of the same reason. When you apply the varnish most of it goes away. You can always add more later. As for the water, i would place amounts of gloss varnish or gloss acrylic medium at the top and let it wash down, then repeat when dry, in certain areas to make it thicker. Also try the silicone thing, worked well for me here http://www.modelshipgallery.com/gallery/misc/dkm/Schnellboot-72-nk/index.htm and here http://www.modelshipgallery.com/gallery/dd/dd-445/Fletcher-144-nk/index.htm Just place it with a toothpick or dentist spatula. And bigger photos!

Yes it certainly should have lots as it's supposed to be surfacing. I agree! I'll need to ponder how I might give the hull a wet look. I finished it with pigments and unfortunately if I apply a finish over it (satin varnish, etc) it alters the look or makes them almost disappear in some cases. I'll investigate!

Yes, definitely more water, and the sub needs to be not only wet, but dripping wet!

Personally I think it needs way more water. Also try using some clear silicone on the flaps in front to simulate dripping

Well, I think your U-Boot turned out brilliantly.

Thx guys! Yeah I've taken a bit of artistic license. My lack of knowledge of ships will definitely show in spots!

very very good mate. Remember that the sub will have to be all wet. Keep the photos coming.
Also was the flag on while submerged?

That looks excellent! Beautiful colors, and very good airbrush work. And welcome! Larger scale subs are probably the perfect transition subject from AFV's. Now it's time for a 1/700 carrier… Cheers, Marijn
