Bill,
Alright, since you asked for comments...
Let me start by saying that I have followed your various builds with great enjoyment and, frankly, quite a bit of envy! This effort is every bit as good and enjoyable.
Now, to the comments. Some sections of the water near the hull and parts of the exhaust streams seem a bit "stringy" or "spiderwebby". It's hard to tell from the photos but unless you have photos that show otherwise, I would expect a lot of water to be running down the sides of the hull from the exhaust ports rather than totally expelled. The area of the hull under the exhausts should look wet. This leads to the next comment.
I'm always struck by what water does to the apparent color of hulls. Wet water tends to make dark colors, gray in this case, look even darker. The bow should have a significant amount of wet area. As mentioned above, same goes for the areas under the exhausts. Ditto for the extreme stern which should be continually shedding water. There are some darker colorations of the gray hull scattered about but I think those are meant to be weathering as opposed to wetness. Maybe I'm wrong?
Let me close by saying that what you've done is well beyond my capabilities and I have no solutions or suggestions for improvements, just my observations for what they're worth. If I had to try to make wet areas, I might attempt to spray/brush clear gloss with, perhaps, a bit of darker gray coloring?? Just thinking out loud.
Outstanding work and thanks for posting!
Regards,
Bob
Bob, Thanks for your input. I will take your suggestions under advisement. As I said previously, I'm new to subs. Not many real good close ups of them underway, rather from a distance. I'll work on it.....Thanks again.
