Lookng good Keith, like the base.

More progress, Learning to play with my airbrush, so I thought I would have a go at a bit of pre shading.



Not bad for a first go, I thought.

The top coat was added from a rattlecan, built up in layers, same with the to ends of the torpedos

Went a bit too far maybe with the topcoats,but not unhappy with the result.

Looking good Si,

once you've got used to the airbrush you'll be hooked!

Thanks Russell, I am enjoying it... Except cleaning it! Lots still to learn.

OK I've downloaded a couple pix in my gallery...now how do I get them into a reply. It used to be real easy. now...can't seem to do it

Click on the picture you want to add in your Gallery. Then there is a little icon to the right of the web address for the thumbnail. Click on that and copy and paste that address into your reply.

I have tried 3 times (to post a pic) and gotten nothing ( deleted previous attmepts). This has become tedious and not worth the amount of effort I have expended. So sorry no pix for proff unless you want to go to my gallery to verif. At one time the process to do this was quite simple.

The ends of the torpedos masked ready to shoot some paint at the centre sections.



dark camo on the upper hull added. I am not 100% on the pattern as I can only find two pica, both of the same side.



the white patches added and the painted torpedos dry fitted.



more soon,

Si

Nice builds everyone - i better join in with a modern era black cigar

This is a kit i got almost for free yesterday at a local show, the Hobby Boss 1:700 Oscar II class submarine:



Its a very easy build - especially considering that I am going to waterline it and use it as a testbed for that special wake that these modern subs create around the fronts.

5 parts and 15 minutes later it looks like this:



Fit around the sail and the hull is not the best, but some surfacer 500 took care of that little issue.

Cheers/Jan

Many moons ago I posted some pics... But Alas! here we go again!
At least I think I can proceed to paint my boat...

BTW Sory about the pics, but my trusty ol' lamp was dead (RIP)

Ahoy there guys. If not too late I am joining in to the pack. Have a Revell 1/350 Type VIIC, probably will be Topp's boat. Have fun.

Glazing added and "coning tower" roof glued in place.



bit of a final light wash and the torps added, job done!





tried to dd to the gallery, but wouldn't let me.

will try again shortly

Looking cool Simon!

Have been working hard during server outage - managed to get the water done, but I´m not entirely happy with the way the bow wake turned out - might have to peel it of and retry....

Here we come:

I'll throw my hat in with Hobby Boss's Yasen Class SSN

Thanks Jan

Some great looking subs coming on!!!!

Good news, the Biber trailer is on it's way. Bad news still can't post anything to the gallery.

Think I will leave the trailer & long dock for a seperate build, don't think i have time to finish it for this campaign.

Si

manged it, two pics posted

OK What am I doing wrong. I go to my gallery pick the photo I want to put in a message click on it find the little color image next to it..click on it. I then see the html code... copy it. I start a reply click on the img button... put my copied code there..deleteing the "put your inage here" words....and nothing. Can someone give me simple step by steps so I can contribute?

If you right-click the picture itself, a little shortcut menu will appear. About 1/3 of the way down is an option to "copy image location". Click that, and the URL of the picture will be copied to the Windows clipboard. Then switch to your posting window (I like to have two tabs open so I can switch back and forth), and click the {img} button. Paste your picture's URL into the image code which appears and that should do it.

OK once more nto the breach. Here are my 3 US sbs a Los Angeles class, Ohio class and a Maryland class

Have finished a Victor and a Lafayette class working on a Delta 4

all are 350 scale

edit: and once again no joy I have no clue what I am doing wrong

Steve-

This is the ip of the pic:
"http://gallery.kitmaker.net/data/500/sub_campaign_002.JPG"

You can retrieve it by right-clicking on the pic in the gallery and select "save picture URL".
Then back to your posting, choose the [IMG] symbol and then paste in the adress correctly.


Nice little selection you got there, btw!


Cheers,
Guido

Okay, here's your problem. You have nested code which is confusing the forum software.
Your image URL should be http://gallery.kitmaker.net/data/500/sub_campaign_002.JPG
There's a redundant "http://{url=", a redundant "}" and you don't have the ending /. (I have to replace the square brackets with { so they show up in my comment.)
What your image embedding code should look like is this (Don't forget that you need to replace the { and } with square brackets to make it work:
