Here are two further videos on the boat near croatia. Watch the diver is moving the twin flak up and down in 2013 after 69 years. The boat has a seperate platform mounted on the superstructure to host the twin Flak, may it was an replacement for a single 2cm Flak38

Another movie, when you start at 11:33 minutes, it becomes interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlLBAD9ZqAE

This weekend I worked ou on the S18 Wheelhouse. Still the internal wall and a bootom needs to be added as well as the steering wheel and compas - but the rest should be fine

Greetings Guys;


This photo comes from Lawrence Paterson's book
"Schellbotte" A complete operational history, 2015.

Interesting photo showing a S-boat surrendering to a Britsh MTB in 1945. She appears to have a MG-151 Drilling mounted amidship.





This is the second photo I have seen showing the MG-151 mounted on a S-boats. Several books speak of it, but, photos are hard to find....

Later,

Mike

I completed the wheelhause wrt the white and strong Material, what needs to be added now is another detail set with a hatch and planking on the rear signal poste and behind the steerining wheel.

So check out shapeways in general.

Good Morning,

I'm new here and first want to express my respect for the perfect job.
Really great !
I got the S-100 recently and would first gather information and accessories before I start.

Some parts and information I got already.
Some parts I will certainly have to construct 3D printing yet.

It seems here is really good crew, so I hope I can learn a lot
Oh, my English is certainly a bit rusty - sorry for :-)

Markus

Welcome Markus.

Your English is far better than my German!

I hope you enjoy the forum.

Cheers


Sean

Hallo Markus,

Dein English ist völlig OK -weiter so.

Well there are a few parts that require correction, I am on it to work on a S100 Correction kit, and central part will be a new Targeting Computer. This one is nearly finished, but requires quite some time to do so mainly parts.

Christian

Hello Gents, I started working on a S100 correction set, and first item is the bow gun as you can see in the picture. I have 2 sources, one is a picture of the turning interior of the bow gun from the S130 Project (Weatcroft collection), the other is a animated movie from from a polish colleague he made the bow gun fold and defold into the tub.

So not an easy task if we would like to reuse some of the Itaeri parts.

here is a picture of the current status, The 2 circles behind is a milling template to enlarge Italeri circle from 35 to 37 mm.

Thanx a lot Sean and Christian.

Gentlemen here are the first picture of the wheelhouse kit I made and now being my own first customer. The Kit comes with hood, found and internal wall with Steering wheel holder, engine telegraph and rpm meter left to the wheel.

Further I gave the kit a few slats for the inside, the rear and signal post. Further there are 3 sliding doors and a seat for the sailor in the map room which also has a table.

I will now complete the wheelhouse and keep you posted with the progress.

Christian

Hello Gents,

After some coloring and detailing with a car on the cardroom and a UK_ Component on the other side or the cart room wall, here you can see the result of the 3D printing exercise.
The doors fit very nice and close the wheelhouse pretty tight. The salt fitted nicely where they are supposed too. I sprayed the interior and the hood first in gray from the inside, than covered all windows and sprayed the wheelhouse in gray-white from the outside. I colored the Slats with a brush and all this resulted in the pictures you see here.

Christian,

You doing a great job looks fab...

Bert

Hello Gents,

I completed another drawing for a product which is the TMB Seamine which is being used in combination with the LMB Sea mine by the schnellboats of the German kriegsmarine. U-Models has produces the LMB Seamine (which I also offer in my shop) but the TMB is a bit different , it has 3 controls:
Booster release mechanism
Hydrostatic clock
80 day clock

All later secure by an iron bar. The drawing is a gain from Robert Palmacci, also well known in this forum for the corrections he made to the S100 boat. All control mechanisms are separated thus you can paint them maybe brass color, before you put them into the mine., but so much separated part also require a bit of a printframe material making the TMB slightly more expensive than the LMB Mine from U-models. However, for that you get a unique model in ultra frosted detail.

Have fun to look around.

Hello Gents,

I nearly finished the Torpedo Targeting Computer. The upload to shapeways is still incomplete some walls needs to be thicken and some other parts needs to be reshaped to become printable. Soon it will become available, I am still tryining to seperate the black parts (wheels and switches) from the model to ensiure proper painting......

So far for now stay tuned.

Christian

Ahoy Christian

Nice work.

Cheers

Hello Christian, Are the Nebelbojen 1/35 or 1/72? Or are both scales available? Sold singly or as a pair? Would be very interested in a pair in 1/35 for my Italeri boat. Al

Hello Al,

This is 1:35 scale, but I have to admit this seems not the final model with the print frame around. I have made those also for my S18 where they stand on the slanted side of the superstructure straight ahead – which means the legs are different. If you let me know what you would like to have in total I would put them into a single frame reducing the handling cost to one time. Handling cost, in total should be the same as both individual orders (additional material for the frame comes again). If you would like to have them posted on the slanted superstructure you have to give me some time to the weekend when I can actual measure the radius of the superstructure of the S100 to make the basket stay straight up.

Christian

Looking forward to getting one of these. Did you ever complete the quad pedestal?

Sure all, I produced both versions, as you can see. but those should be printed in white and strong as there are not many details to show:

Hello Al, done here is the updated link, I do not know why Shapeways is not changing the picture, however I uploaded a new version with a printframe and this is now available (same price):
