Can anyone tell me what happened to Glenn? I went to his U-673 site to download the information to follow his build, and it's no longer there. His other sites are also down.

I am still alive & well, and actively working on U-190 (Type IXC/40).
All of my builds were moved to my new domain:  http://gc-scalemodels.ca/

As of late February 2018, I made the decision to NOT install a full PE deck (from RC Subs) onto my U-505.
Instead, I will install the wooden deck from Nautilus Models (72-508).

The reason?
I installed a full PE deck into my U-190.  (http://gc-scalemodels.ca/U190/index.htm)
Making & installing the PE deck was a HUGE undertaking and it was very difficult. I do not want to do it again for U-505.

(I also reached out to Pontos to ask about the status of their IXC detail set... originally slated for a Sept-2017 release.)

May I ask what made the PE deck so difficult to install? Seeing as you're a veteran modeller, this gives me anxiety :P

If you go to my U-190 site (link provided above) and read the "Main Deck" section, it fully explains how I installed the PE deck.


In short, replacing the thick plastic deck with a very thin PE deck is a time-consuming, difficult process... and I really do not want to do it again.

Hi Glenn,



last night I looked at your model building report again in peace and quiet and was totally thrilled. I am sure that the Uboat will bring you an award at a model building competition.


Regards

All the photos are messed up when I open them, and there's not much on your site on your U-505.

You will have to be more specific than "photos are messed up when I open them."    The photos all appear fine to me, and yours is the first complaint I have heard.

I did not get much done on U-505; I gave up on it and so stopped updating the site.    I did more on U-190, which I completed.

That's a shame...


This is what I get when I open them; both on my phone and PC.





Will you re-continue on it someday?

I suspect it is your browser and/or phone at issue.
The site is basic HTML with frames, and the pages & images appear perfectly to me using Google Chrome browser on PC.   Pics are all PNG or JPG.
That pic you posted... please supply the exact URL link which produced that.
I do not know if I will resume that build.


Here is a screengrab of the homepage which I see:

Glenn has done a great job on several fine models.  Thanks for sharing all that you do. 
 
Just went to his site and checked out the U-505 pics and they all looked fine to me and my laptop.
