I miei complimenti per la miriade di dettagli su questo U BOOT. Domanda : ma hai lavorato su progetti Originali ? Ho hai lavorato di fantasia ? Il pistone Attuatore per la sonda Snorkel e' un qualcosa di Strepitoso, fantastico . Sei un Artista di pregio , continua così ed ancora i miei complimenti 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Sound, man! It makes the video so much more enjoyable to watch. Just some background music at a minimum if you're not going to narrate.

Hi Axon! Amazing work! I am now working on the same kit and would appreciate your assistance. I have the Platinum Edition kit and photo etch kits from RCSUBS. It appears that the Yankee Model Works/Blue Ridge Model upper pressure hull is no longer available. I would appreciate if you can share or reference your sources so that I can scratch build the upper pressure hull, limber hole bracing and the other parts that you scratch built. Please let me know how to exchange contact info privately.

Hello there, let me get back to you, I will gather all my reference material for you and try to share a folder via Dropbox, Axon

[@dendret]

hello again, have you downloaded Dropbox ?......my email address is [e-mail] ,once I have your email address I can share the folders...Axon

[@willkutler8220]

Hi Axon! I just sent you an email with my contact info. I am having tech difficulties with my Dropbox account.

Wow, great work! Excellent detailing, and well done on the weathering! Funny as I was a shipbuilder myself and have seen how tight spaces can be, so i definitely appreciate you showing off the details especially the waterline shell plate corrosion. very accurate, weld seams are rarely touched and hold up better than the plate itself. I'm now inspired to build one myself, good size and would make a fun diorama in drydock. Keen to get my hands working after 10 years off modelling. Did you end up going with the Revell kit for this? And did you use any smaller manufacturers for the details?

[@dendret]

Hello Darius, thankyou very much for those comments, yes it is the Revell kit, but if your going to build a sub have a look at a new kit coming out soon .....Das Werk U Boat U9 ....its a WW1 boat 1/72 ,but unlike my boat there aren't any detailing sets yet, photo etch ,resin etc , with the Revell kit I used Griffonmodel.com photoetch for the guns and an Eduard set to for the deck and hull , the rest as you know are scratchbuilt. As for technique for how the hull texture was achieved etc, have a look at my replies on one of my other replies to people, in one of the six parts somewhere, there aren't many so not to arduous to sift through. Anyway, really appreciated your comments, especially about the weld seams.Best Axon

[@thediddly]

@@dendret i will most definitely look into it, and thanks for the recommendation! Can't say I'm a big fan of Revell anyway so that comes as welcome relief. I was commenting on how well you represented the weld seams without corrosion, vs the the shell plating with corrosion as the welds themselves have a better chance of standing up to the elements than the parent metal from my observation. Also noting some other comments you were saying that you have reference photos? If you were still prepared to share my email is [e-mail] Thanks again!

[@dendret]

@@thediddly Hello ,yes loads of reference material,sorry I should have said,do you have a Dropbox account ?,as i can share them with you there ,........A

[@thediddly]

[@AlexandreKlafke20]

very nice work!!

[@dendret]

Thankyou Alexandre , part two is not far away now , week or so I think , Best , Axon

[@RobinBenjaminPiano]

How did you do the weathering man? Looks like you added some extra texture on the model? What did u use? Awesome model! Master

[@dendret]

Hello Robin , thanks for the compliment , glad you like it . The texture on the hull was done with various circular rounded burrs , look up Cooksongold uk ......jewellery burrs , these are top quality and affordable. I just lightly bounced them along the hull , horizontally , thing is you have to build it up lightly ,again and again, hundreds of times ,until it looks like , well , unmanmade , meaning you have to blend every dent with the next so it all blends together , hope this helps , Best Axon
