Thank you Guys for your appreciations  :)

WIP : the rivets

It should be like this but... :

...i have to find the right detail balance, a homogeneous build. I don't think that i will put all the rivets lines, but i will replace the hatches. Hope to get the welding lines from Archer ASAP.

My favorite hobby : stretching sprues in 0,3mm diameter :


(and drilling 0,3mm holes  ;D) One side is partially made :


and the bow section :



Next step : staying on my ground and "riveting"...

Stay tuned  ;)
cheers,
Pepper

Wow-wow-wow! I can't stretch sprue, impossible for me. Wow, that is a really impressive end result!

The Archer weld set is lovely, but it is pricey: US$75. I used masking tape and putty. It sounds crazy, but the Squadron green stuff was just right (Tamiya grey is too strong). It's very easy, very cheap, and makes an excelent weld when sanded (in a lumpy fashion of course). http://www.rokket.biz/models/modelsweb/rokket/u557/prog1.shtml

Rokket, thank you for the tip Mate, practicing an canceled Archer...

Time is running out, but a small progress (sanding session is required) :







Any comments or opinions are welcome =)

Superb workmanship Pepper!  I took the lazy way out and used aftermarket rivets for my Andrea deck gun.  I admire your skill my friend.

Thank you friends  :)

Karel great photo (i have that one  ;) ); weathering is nice.

Finished the "seehund" building, and applied 2 primer coats.







Torpedos on their way...

Cheers
