I was playing with paint and the interior lights today. I wish that I had used more color inside but too late for that now. Oh well live and learn.
Later,
Kelly

This is the Mobius kit correct? I think it looks fantastic!
What's not to like?

Thanks I appreciate your kind words.. I just could have used more color I think and then maybe it would have made a mess too. I tend to worry things to death.. And yes it is the Mobius kit

Ditto. Just ask anyone here. That's why I never seem to complete anything.

Thus, the new and improved Steve builds for the sake of building these days.

Kelly, that looks awesome! Wow, when can we see more shots of that interior?

Hi Kelly!

Fantastic work! Don't worry about the lighting being too subdued, it should look just right after the exterior coat is applied and if you are mounting the sub in a diorama.

Brava!

This is the only other one I have really and it is in the General Quarters red. I have a triple color led in the ceiling of the control room

Very cool Kelly!

Welcome aboard Steve!

Hi
I've got the Hull & deck together.
I've scratchbuilt a new set of fenders ( kit only had 4 bars pic's show 6 bars) over the rear airofoils/ stabilisers ( not sure what there called). will post some pic's over the weekend.

Hello
Picture of the new guards for the rear . The kit 1's were horrible . New 1's were made with brass rod for the outer frame & alumminium tube for the inner struts.

I'm now remodelling the conning tower as the 1 in the film doesn't have any guns mounted or any rails at the front.

Very nice work Sean!


Kenny

Looking very good Bruce. With you doing a PT, I'm sure T. Garth Connelly will be checking in.

Kenny

hello Kenny,
i am sure he will be checking up on me.i have been doing a lot of research on the 109,i just hope i can come close to the movie boat.
cheers,
Bruce

Hello all,
I am in need of a U-Boat for my collection and was thinking about making the U-571 from the movie U-571. Hobbyboss's U-boat Type VIIC kit should fit the bill.

Oddly enough the actual U-571 was a IXB class U-boat but in the movie it was a VIIC, so VIIC it is.

Welcome to the build David!


Kenny

hey bruce! look in the "FSM PT boat" thread, some good waterline maps/info were posted to help mask/paint the PT boat. The Revell instructions are WRONG in that regard, as I found out! Luckily I had not laid out any paint yet...
