I bought a U-boot pin/badge from someone at my work, this badge was given to the u-boat crew after two succesful missions.
I am not sure if it is original (did some research on the net)but nevertheless it is a nice addition in the showcase together with the 995.

It doesn`t have a mark on the backside, but there were three German manufactures who made these pins, and i understand that one of them didn`t put an inscription on the backside, so i still don`t know if its original or not.
But, as said before, that is not so important to me, its just a nice addition to display in the showcase  ;)

The wooden decks in the conningtower are glued in and weathered






I also highlighted the panellines with a brown/black wash, next step are the rust/dirt streaks.

Incredible, I love both pics! Could you tell this novice how you did the paneling with the brown/black wash? (how you applied it, with brush airbrush, etc)
