I just finished my diorama of VIIC and IXC meeting in the Atlantic. Just to regain some of my modelling skills (I have put modelling on a back burner for over two years ) before I move to "more serious" projects.

Just thought I would share it with you. The boats are Hasegawa with Tom's PE parts.
If I could find somebody cheap to engrave a polished brass plaque I am thinking about mounting in on the front edge saying:
Meeting in the Atlantic
Typ VIIC and IXC Uboats 1/700

The kits were molded very well with great detail but adding the PE parts was testing my skills to the max.

Any comments/suggestions/questions are welcome.

Here are some pictures:








I asked my girl to hold a penny next to the kits so you will get an idea how tiny these kits are:

Hey - no crew ?

Just kidding, they look great, and the rigging and fine detail is just amazing, you must have a very steady hand!

How is the water done ?

Cheers/Jan

Hi Jan,
thanks for the praise.

The water is actually shaped white caulk painted and dry-brushed with three different blue acrylics and white accents. All is coated in Hi-Gloss Varnish.

After I saw the Tom's PE sailors I have decided against crew. The figures looked bit cheasy to me.

Yeah gingerbreadmen are the only way to add crew in 1/700 right now. Some times they look decent, other times they look odd.

BTW, nice job on both subs and the water.

Thank you for posting!

Nice work and I really like the water!
