Hi Everyone!
To evert any confusion, my father's first name in Karl. So it's Karl Walter Bauer.  I noticed on another U-Boat site they have his last name spelled wrong for U-201, and for some reason they have him  listed as dead when U-201 was sunk.  So I will try to get that fixed. I didn't even know they had the crew lists of most of the U-boats!
I will have more pics of my progress on my U-505 soon.
Best Regards,
Dan

Sorry for the poor photos! My camera is not so good ! Anyway, I have most of the deck details done. I am  still working on the C Tower and Wintergarten. The deck is painted flat black  as was the coating on the deck. I will weather this later.  The bow and stern metal decks and hatches will be painted the upper hull colour.  I will start working on the hull detail now. I have penciled in the locations of the rivets, welds, and seams. More to come..... It is starting to look like a U-Boot! ;D

 :D  Hi Ernest!
It is getting there! I worked on some more detail on the conning tower yesterday.  Some more to do yet. I have the railing on the Wintergarten yet.  Then the rivets in the sides of the Wintergarten. Then the paint.  I think I will have over 300 plus hours on this when I am done! :o
Regards my Friend!

 >:( Talk about what can happen.... I was set up all ready to start painting the upper hull, when I realized my airbrush is all froze up !!! :(  As they say" Das ist Kaput!!  So I had to go to E-Bay and bid on a new airbrush! Well, I won the airbrush! ;D   So now I have to wait for the shipping! :(
Always something!!! ::)  I will send pics when I get the basic colours on! ;)
Regards,
Dan
