Hi everyone!
This is my recent finished model.
Enjoy and dont hesitate with criticism


Kehrwieder: Return home! (safe)

































The underlayment was made of wood sticks and glued with CA



Everything was besmeared with oil colors and degraded again by finger.

















Take care and
CU/readU later

Lets meet at the Lier Convention 2011, at 21st of November, Lier, Belgium!

Truly FIRST CLASS modelmaking !!

I love the boat, love the torpedoes--overall finish is of very high standard- additional and retro-detailing is simply superb!

If I had any critique/comment to make... ( should I ...? )

( and this is my own biased opinion !! )

...it would be ......

that I find the supports for the cradle to be a little intrusive on the overall look of the model.

On your next one.... ( ) maybe have the supports on one side only--leaving the sub to be viewed uninterrupted by the cradle in all its glory from the other side...

Shame you cannot make Telford--this model would doubtlessly attract much attention!

Hey Jim,

beside the fact that i appreciate each and every feedback, some are really important and thats one of these.
We met and we chatted but still... you re one of my modelling idols.
I shared the same concerns regarding the impact of these supports there.
It was the following picture, made me swaying:



The cradle is brutally visible and disturbing the visual approach to the model.
And therefore, i made these items movable and removable.

I will catch some reactions from the audience and friends and decide occasionally, with tendence to what you mentioned above.

Thanks for adress this topic, Jim!
Very much appreciated!
