Hi Jan!

Yes, great workmanship, but, let me start saying that you have nothing to hide for!
Your Plastic Model U-boats do not owe anything at this model!
And, btw, yours look so much more realistic!

Just my 2 € cents

As craftsmanship goes this guy is up there.But don't get me wrong trying to compare this to us is like trying to compare a musician to a music instrument maker.I have seen train locomotives hand built like this u-boat and they are AMAZING. But i just admire the skills of the modeler and not the artistic result.For me it needs to be painted .Not that i would complain if it was a centerpiece in my cabinet
I doubt i could even get close to a price tag for something like that , with 10,000 hours in the built process.
