Finally I have finished my 1:72 Revell VIIC (Sep 05 to now).

If you'd like to have a look:

It's on to the Gato next!

Fabulous build, Wink!

Alot of hard work, but the end product really shows the amount of detail and attention that you put into the project...can I expect a heap of images for a MSW "On Display" feature!??


Thanks, mate,

Wink, very, very nice build.
A very good showing of what aftermarket products can do to a build.
Looking foward to a write up for shipwrights.

Thanks guys, appreciate your kind words

Very nice looking U-boat.

Thank you for sharing her with us!

Rokket,

Great build. Does this mean those torpedo tube doors may be coming soon?

Very nice build,

Best Regards Manuel

Indeed this was a very nice build..
and if my U557 stand next to yours, one can tell which is real which is a toy!!

love the aftermarket goodies you put on to it...

Looks great Wink.

Wink,

As you are aware I have been watching your progress with this model for some time now, I can only state that the "wait was worth it".

Well done.

Excellent Wink!
You should feel proud of your work!

Thanks Guys, You're Aces.

The best part for me was learning - I'd never been to forums, and MSW is the BEST. There were many techniques I'd never tried, and I went from using PE for the first time to co-releasing a PE kit co-designed with a new mate I've still never met. I found that some "scary things" weren't scary at all. Just like the banner says of Kitmaker/MSW: "learn, share, teach."

It has been a great experience. My wife, on the other hand, is pretty much over submarines...

A perfect show! I've been following your work as a great inspiration even for my own boat, and i can only hope that the next one will be as best as it can just like yours. And the unique pose of the men really set it off. Love the loading scene! GREAT WORK!

hey, this is a real good work you did there no actually "awesome" is the word, the weathering is tops and the figs certainly add a lot to the model. The flag looks very natural as well. That's a great way of advertising your new company -and I wish you both plenty of success in this, and in your next build!

Thank you so much guys. I've seen so many great builds here, and learned so much. But I guess the fun part is listening to music or watching bad movies as you work on some mundane part or at the other end, tricky part/effect. I guess it's about the journey and having fun! Which i hope to do this weekend, except for the chores my wife will set me to...
