[@brentanderson5021]

The miniature lights really bring it to life.

Incredible detail! 🤗 I was only ever in the submarine they have in The Historic Dockyards in Portsmouth and im pretty sure its NOT a U-Boat! Well done sir 🤝

[@MrDodgedollar]

Glad you like it Paul.. As a retired engineer.. I like detail.. My Mother was in the day a very good artist and so the impression of realism is the challenge to me..

[@paulgart]

@@MrDodgedollar well you’ve certainly achieved realism here sir 🫡

Good afternoon friend,enjoyed your KZbin video of your build. I'm a 75yr young 🇨🇦 woman who is handicapped & loves modeling. I've taken on the Trumpeter U-Boat 1/48th as my final project as I figure it will take me somewhere around 2-4 yrs to complete to my satisfaction. I have the complete Pontos PONF48001 detail kit, as well as a complete lighting & sound kit, (which I have already assembled and tested) now ready for assembly once I get to that stage of the interior. When I was on FB, I was on a number of modeling groups, & at one point I saw a gent whose build was going along total realism, & had akit of stores with personnel items. I save the suppliers to my phone but later my phone died and I lost everything. Don't know if I'm using wrong wording for search but have been unable to find anyone who supplies 1/48 scale WW2 German naval galley stores or crew items. Would greatly appreciate if you have any further information about this as I would very much like to include normal everyday supplies that crew would us on a tour at sea. Thanks a bunch for your help and time. Cheers Oldbroad Angela 🇨🇦

Real sorry Angela for the very delayed reply.. The youtube account is registered to an email I don’t generally use but I will watch out now… As you are building and you want specific answers to the area you are working on.. just let me know and I will endeavour to reply

Thanks for the appreciation

This is where I got mine & am very happy with both the quality, price and customer service. I've assembled, painted the bulbs tested comple system that also has multiple (4) soundtracks. www.magicscalemodeling.com/menu-contact I have even purchased the terminal parts in the event I have to extend some of the wires. All ready for the interior assembly of the U-Boat. Good luck with your build. Cheers 🇨🇦

@@MrDodgedollar Hello again,thank you very much for your answer and help....I started to build this model... You may have more questions in the future ( thanks ).. greetings from Mallorca Spain.

Die Farbgebung ist Katastrophal .Der Rost (wenn man das überhaupt so nennen kann) ist unterirdisch. Nicht sehr detailliert.Und die Flutöffnungen die du ausgebohrt hast ....naja...ich sag nichts mehr.Daumen runter für das Boot welches du verschandelt hast

[@MrDodgedollar]

Danke... I guess I might as well depth charge it then?

@@MrDodgedollar touché, German bluntless (or rudeness) vs English humor. On a serious note, I like this build, very well done sir.

[@MrDodgedollar]

@@stevenblack7928 I am here to inspire the artistry in other builders; Simple. I am saying that anyone can glue this kit together reasonably successfully ( although it is not simple and is a vast kit), I am encouraging people to question the kit makers “colour instructions “ and use some flair ( within reason). I admit I am probably inaccurate with interior steel shell shade but I think I am on the money with the external shade after loads of research. Artists can range from zero, where someone will attempt to motorise the propeller and make the torpedoes work, but will robotically follow the colour instructions.. All the way to the “uber” artist who will paint the crew as circus clowns, the submarine yellow, and have Ringo Starr playing in the background... I am encouraging people to push a little on the artistry with Citadel Washes to add the grime... They were dirty places....and display the food,; they did eat after-all; A conspicuous omission in my opinion . Enjoy your build and Thanks for the appreciation!
