Welcome mates

Jan Peters Författare
Made a careful start. Parts are a mixed bag, some very nicely done, some a bit crude and oversized.

Jan Peters Författare
Any thoughts on how to make the anti radar material on the snorkel?

Matti Thomaes
Can't help you there Jan, I didn't even know there was anti-radar material on the snorkel...

Jan Peters Författare
I had a go at it, looks more crude in the pictures then it looks in real life, might do some fine tuning later

Sebastian Meyner
Nice work so far Jan 👍 Following with interest 👀

Jan Peters Författare
Thanks Sebastian, and welcome 🤗

Jan Peters Författare
It would be nice to see someone do a 3d printed snorkel someday.

Guy Rump
Looking great, following. 👍

Jan Peters Författare
Thanks Guy, and welcome mate.

Jan Peters Författare
More work done 🫡

Jan Peters Författare
Trying to refine some parts that are over scale.

Sebastian Meyner
Oh boy, you worked this mattress hard 😛

In all honesty: great detail work Jan 👍

Jan Peters Författare
😁 thanks Sebastian!

Miguel Vaquero
That's one of the things I hate about Revell. For a modern kit maker, their tolling is sometimes horrendous. But with some quality hands like yours the parts look incredible.

Jan Peters Författare
Thanks Miguel, you're too kind, but I'm trying my best 🫡

Jan Peters Författare
Tried to scratch a new gun shield for the doppelflak, might have another go at it as it is not to my liking.

Villiers de Vos
Booking my seat.

Jan Peters Författare
Welcome Villiers

Jan Peters Författare
Ready for paint

Jan Peters Författare
First layers of paint brushed on🙂

Jan Peters Författare
Painting this is a slow proces

Sebastian Meyner
No matter how slow, progress is progress 😉 👍

Jan Peters Författare
More slow progress 🙂

Villiers de Vos
Very nice progress.

Jan Peters Författare
Thanks Villiers 🙏🏻

Guy Rump
Looking great! 👍

Jan Peters Författare
Thanks Guy! 🙂

Jan Peters Författare
Weathering in progress, my favourite part of submarine modelling 🙂

Jan Peters Författare
Ensign added, hoping to finish it tomorrow 🙂
Happy new year to all!

gorby
Nice work and for this scale the figure painting is excellent.

Jan Peters Författare
Thanks Gorby, even with reading glasses on, it is hard to get the paint in the right spot🥸

Sebastian Meyner
Figure painting in 1:144 …wow, that is some dedication 👍

Jan Peters Författare
I'm trying to get some sense of scale into the model Sebastian , although the over scale parts will be sticking out like a sore thumb 🙂

Jan Peters Författare
Nearly done, just need to add the wires to finish it.

Miguel Vaquero
This is truly an art piece, that weathering on the hill looks so real, and those figures. Truly amazing Jan. Congrats on a beautiful model

Jan Peters Författare
You're making me blush Miguel. Thanks for the kind words 🙏🏻

Jan Peters Författare
I'm calling it done!
This was a fun project, but the kit would really benefit from an update set to sort out the over scale parts.

gorby
Excellent work Jan! The weathering is particularly good.

Guy Rump
Great job, congrats! 👍

Jan Peters Författare
Thanks mates 🙏🏻
