Hanno KleineckeNa, da bin ich mal gespannt.
Da kündigen sich größere chirurgische Eingriffe an ?!
Druckkörper sichtbar...?

Bart Goesaertvery nice... the canning of the hull is done by scraping I presume, but how did you do the detail on the saddle tanks?
4 December 2015, 10:03
Michael Franz kirjailijabetween the bolts I scraped with a knife.... the tanks were worked with a milling head in my dremel 🙂

Michael Franz kirjailija... now waiting on some parts from WEM ...... Hope that these will be delivered soon .... 🙂

Nic NilovNice barreling! Are you going to move anchor well forward or drill out drain holes?

Udo BrowarczikCurious, how it will progress...... I´ve still got it in my stash....
Thumbs up!!

Michael Franz kirjailijaAll holes will be opened... some drilled open, some replaced with photo etched parts.... the anchor will remain I think.

Nic NilovIn my experience moving the anchor is quite an easy task. Replacing torpedo doors with PE parts proved to be more difficult. The challenge is to make the joint flush.

Michael Franz kirjailijaI think I will change the position of the anchor and also add some more of these fantastic rivets... maybe all rivets...🙂 These are by Archer Fine Transfers 🙂

Christian BruerSeems to be a dusty and time consuming work so far, but it was it worth. Looks really promising with the rough surface structure and all the PE parts.
Cheers, Christian

Michael Franz kirjailijaThanks a lot Christian 🙂 Believe me, it was dusty... and I know much more funny things to do.... 🙂

Hanno KleineckeWow, excellent work on the steelskin texture, bow tubes and "water intakes" ! I didn`t even know these PE sets existed.
I´ve never seen the plating over the Diesel exhaust though, is this a late version speciality ?

Christian BruerWould be fine to get additional information about the building steps. Guess the last coat of paint is to check the seams along the PE parts and as a pre shading along the welding seams?!
Ah, by the way, nice work so far🙂

Michael Franz kirjailijaThe light grey paint was made to get a light color as base for the black rivets and welding seams. A black primer is following on the full ship once the rivets and seams are done... as preshading. 🙂

Torben H.Wirklich großartig, genau so stelle ich mir ein Atlantikboot vor. Machst Du an der Wasserlinie noch etwas in Richtung Algenbewuchs?
29 January 2016, 18:22
Michael Franz kirjailijaHab ich mir gedacht.... so eine stark verdünnte, grüne airbrush-linie ... nach unten etwas verlaufen .... mal schauen, ob ich mich traue 🙂

Christian BruerWow very nice progress. I'm not sure if I would trust to go out with the rusty sub for a further mission, but it looks much nice. Well done painting and weathering and excellent modelmaking!
Just one question, were the deck planked with wood gratings? I ask because I thought they're steel?!
TIA for your feedback
Christian

Michael Franz kirjailijaHi Christian. Yes, the decks were made of wood .... 🙂

Holger KranichMoin Micha, sehe ich richtig das Du das Boot im aufgetauchten Zustand baust?
9 February 2016, 09:13
Christian BruerHi Micha, ok did not know that before, thx for letting me know🙂
9 February 2016, 20:15
Bernhard SchrockBin zwar von der fliegenden Fraktion aber das ist einfach großartig, wie echt Du das Boot gezaubert hast. Die "Verwerfungen" und Beulen im Blech, Rost... Ganz großer Respekt!!! Ich hoffe, das Boot irgendwannmal live zu sehen.

Hanno KleineckeYou can`t squeeze more out of this kit, outstanding work, never seen anything like it.
11 March 2016, 17:33
Christian RistitsThis is really outstanding, congrats Micha for such a masterpiece!
11 March 2016, 17:54
Chris ParsonsYep, now I gotta try building one, I know mine won't look anywhere near this good.

Clifford KeeslerWhat can I say but, EXCELLENT job. A very impressive Submarine.
