Hey guys,
Here's my latest build, the U-96 used in the movie, Das Boot.  Notice the removal of the signal lights on the conning tower and the lack of the large insulator foward of the tower.  It also had a wind deflector, breakwaters and a net cutter as well as it's own free-flood vent pattern.  
I'm having problems uploading pics to my site, so I have had to upload them to another site.

You can see the progress of the build on my site:

Take Care,
Jess

Hi Jess
Everyone is having problems with the gallery because staff_jim is working on it - so that we can enjoy things better

 Good movie. I watched my Dad's(He speaks German and Russian and I know a few words and phrases from both languages) director's cut version so I could learn German before I start High School next school year.

Jess, great stuff. Nice pix, really nice build. The weathering is just right. The rigging looks particularly good, too!
