Hello Phaisal!

The Andrea Miniatures VII-C conning tower model looks good...
Yes I understand "Art Instructor" pain about the resin and PE issues! My deck resin part is about 5mm short on each side of the peck deck part

He has made a good job out of it!
Also, if he really is looking for the crew figures, they can be boght individually at Andrea Miniatures website - it would give life to that conning tower

Many thanks for your kind comments and compliments, Mark and Rui!
This morning I visited Andrea's website, found the individual figures for 13.50 Euro each, I was about to order 3 figures for 40.50 Euro, but when informed that the shipping cost will be another 38 Euro I changed my mind. Just to ship 3 white metal figures cost that much? I don't think that makes sense.

Hi Phaisal!!

Hmm the shipping could turn out to be a real problem...
Try www.hlj.com since they carry Andrea's u-boot crew, and it is near you!
Please keep me updated on this

Hi again, Rui!
Thanks for your info on hlj.com. I'll keep you updated, I tried it already but unfortunately the Andrea's 1:32 U-Boat figures are out of stock. Any other sites offering these with reasonable shipping cost?
