Thanks for the kind words, Devin.
The 1/96th surely is a scale where one can work with this techniques, without having to adopt them
for the use in smaller scales.
The Tamiya smoke works as a acrylic filter. I often use this kind of technique, even it�s
a filter made by oil colors, instead of acrylics. The best way is to combine everything for
various effects and vivid surfaces.
To me it�s pure fun. I really do love all this various stuff, and i am always hungry to learn more.
Sometimes i build a model just because i find the rendering of it�s native materials challenging and interesting.
But thats another story...

Thanks Jim!
And on we went...:
A friend sent me a small little set of interesting pictures.
One of these shows a "Seehund" (Seal) hanging on a crane.
Its shows a interesting camouflage, and the sub�s torpedos seem to be
equipped with exercise warheads. The source describes the boat
as U-5049, even when the number is not clearly visible.
If i had to built this boat again, i would pick exactely this
exemplar. Bronco�s kit is just perfect for this.
This project has advanced too far already, but again i picked
the detail i like the most.
The whole model was brought ti high gloss again, to be prepared for
washes and the transfers. The transfers are dry transfers in this case,
amd again made by Archer Transfers
Rubing and srcrubbing carefuly the transfer to the clean and plain surface.
The transfer is fixed with tape to gain more control over the whole process
The transfers in place
Note the bluish tone of the hull. Thats the impact of an blue oil filter.
Washes and drybrushing enhance the level of detail further.
Products used.
Iam really nosy now, how this one will appear together with the
torpedos...i really am.
Currently they are parked in a safe box.
But before i have to dull down the gloss and
care for little more weathering.
Not much...just subtle and decent...
