Well Hello there, Nemanja, and
Welcome to Model Shipwrights, mate!

I have a link here, to a site that is operated by a couple of MSW's fine site members, (Hi Wink and Dougie! ) click Here!.

Take some time and examine the site, mate, I think that you may just find what yer lookin for!
And tell us a little about yourself, and be careful. . .pretty soon you'll be building more ships and U-boats than Panzers and Hetzers! . . .shipbuilding is VERY catchy!!
Cheers!

Thz for the link i will take a look now.
Here some things about me
I'm student of Architectural faculty in Belgade, last year of studying, uf just little more. I practice modeling since elementary school 10 years old but i stopped for a while in high-school and i am back to modeling in faculty in 2000, and now i am full active model maker, building small armor in 72 scale , dios, figs... i can look on my web for my work, i will soon update site whit new pic of models and of course whit pic of sub. Next my plan to buy is s-100 torpedo boat or Bizmark i will see. Ships and subs are more elegant for armor plane , figs are good to.

Hey Tripko

welcome to Model Shipwrights !!!!
I took a look at your website, and you have very good eye for detail, especially the kingtiger I like (TIGER II). The paintjob is incredibly nice, especially looking at the scale of this little beastie.

I believe that this time Revell was pretty spot on with her painting instructions. Important to note is also that these subs were only out on shorter sorties (missions), so weathering should be kept low.

Are you planning on painting her with the yellow training marks for the Baltic Sea?

Here’s a pic of my VII-d (with small battledamage on one side, heavy damage and weathering on the other..)



good luck on your build, and keep us informed.
For your info, I've got both S-100 sets, (with and without flak 38), and they are incredibly nicely detailed, almost screaming to be put in a seabase!!!

best Nemanja / Happy Newyear friends

Ahoy Tripko,

Welcome to MSW....you"ll have a great time here. I second Warvos' comments
about your models on your website.......very well done!

I really like the paint work, weathered yet subtle.

As Warvos said, if your as considering the S-100 kits....don't hestitate. I have
the original and just got the Vierling (Quad) version.....excellant kits.

Glad to hear you caught the "Modelling Bug" again!
:-)

Have a Happy new Year!
Cheers,
Joe
