Its always nice to see the complex builds such as this one. I admire the skill and invention in making custom parts. Looking good thus far. ;)

Thank you very much for your kind words!  ;D

@Nicolas: Of course I follow your build, too! I havent`t seen a model yet showing the modifications you are planning, so I`m really curious about it. And the construction of a pressure hull is a very interessting issue since its one of things I still have to do...

Is Jan or anybody else still active on this thread?

I've been building a U-711 for a year and just came across this site and had to join as soon as I saw Jan's duck insignia and reconized it as the one I'm doing. 

I'd be interested in seeing how Jan's model turned out(if indeed he's finished) and perhaps sharing some info.

I wouldn't have found it at all except my computer crashed, I lost all my research and had to start over again.

I'm currently at about the stage Jan was in these pictures, although I'm scratchbuilding the hull and intend on making most of the hatches in the deck functional to be able to see the pressure hull and trunking, spare torpedoes, etc.

There a picture from the same set of pictures in the book U-BOOTE CREWS: Daily Life, 1939 - 1945 by Jean Delize on page 95. It labeled the polar bear was shot from U-255.

No, that's not the picture.

The one I'd had was labelled a Hans-Gunther Lang on U-711 and it was taken from somebody standing on the wintergarten looking backwards.  Lang was on the port side looking towards the camera with the bear in front of him.

I think, I know what picture you are thinking of...but I lost it, when my computer got this virus...

Does anyone has a picture of the forward casing torpedo loading hatches OPENED? I want to display U 711 as on the picture Dougie posted a year ago of U 711 being tied with U 365, U 362, U 278 and U 997 next to Black Watch. As you can see, the loading hatches are opened. But I don`t have a good photo, on which you can see the undersurface clear enough to model it...
