Hi Cap,


nice camouflage, saw photos for while of british ww1-ships with dazzle camo on "spiegel-online". Looks creative and nearly artistic as you can see:

Hi falo,
 
Nice find. According to a report I read many years ago these bizzare patterns were partly effective, in so much that they confused the size, speed and even the direction of travel to an enemy. Although I would imagine that they would not confuse a well trained observer for more than a couple of seconds.

Hi Cap,


according to the "Spiegel"-article the british navy recruited artists for that dazzle paints. Maybe an example that abstract art saves souls and is distracting the enemies. Doesn't matter if art affine or not  ;-)

Hi Gentlemen,


once more here are links for WW1 Boats:


http://www.arbeitskreis-historischer-schiffbau.de/modell/2011/UC21/uc21.htm
(Minelayer, scale 1/100, scratch with self made brass- and pe-parts, hull is made from resin)


http://www.arbeitskreis-historischer-schiffbau.de/modell/2010/u9/u9.htm
(the famous U9, again scale 1/100 and scratch, self made brass- and pe-parts)


U9 was a so called "Petroleum-Boat". You can see the funnel on the deck behind the conning tower. Before every dive the boat crew had to lay down the funnel.

Hi falo et al,
 
If you think the U 9 is quirky check out the British K class which were more dangerous to themselves than the enemy.

Hi Cap, hi SG,

thank you both for the links, Gentlemen. What a strange design! IMO it's rather more Bugatti style - particularly the bow - than Jules Verne.

Thanks again and regards
Falo

Hi SG & falo,
 
That's a a nice little build blog, the end result is very good. On the subject of dangerous submarines, excuding the CSS Hunley, which killed 2 crews, the most dangerous class has to be the British M class they were developed from cancelled K class boats, 4 ordered 3 built 2 sunk with total loss of live, whilst the M1 was comissioned during WWI none of the boats were used in wartime operations. Some sites state the fourth boat was built but not comissioned.
 
Regards
Jon

Hi Gents,


let's go on with my obsession for WW1-Subs. I take some pictures from SM-U53 at my local museum. The first picture shows the information-board of the u-boat (scale 1:50)


Regards
Falo


P.S. @ Cap Kremin:
Please don't be disappointed this boat is not able to match the design of your mentioned british ww1-subs   ;)

Hi falo,
 
other than max depth and number of torpedos and tubes, she would not have looked too far out of place in the Kriegsmarine and she had a record that the kriegsmarine could only dream of.

Hi Gents,

when I started this thread I mentioned a WW1-Austro-Ungarian Torpedoboot. Meanwhile I find a report of the model constructor of the 1/72 scale kit Mr. Peter Plattner. The report is in german but studded with a lot of pictures. Peter Plattner constructed also the 1/72 WW1 Subs for the company "Wiener Modellbaumanufaktur", as well mentioned in the first post of this thread.
