Im still at the "oil canning " stage of the 1.72 build, which as you know , can become quite tedious, so I have carried on with the 1.144 VIIC . I have now built the lower hull and primed the whole lot



hope you like my repair to the flood hole. I melted a piece of sprue and glued it into the space. It seems to work ok .

Hello Leth,  The pictures you took of the oil canning of your 1/72's saddle tanks are awesome, I am hoping mine come out so good.  I will post some pics when I have a chance, but it is slow going.  Keep up the great work Shipmate!! ;D

Thanks Romain, I hope it turns out ok. I look forward to seeing your pics too.  ;)I am building the 1.144 as I go, cos its such a long job to "oil can" the 1.72 hull. I just do a bit on each to vary my time cos I get bored with scraping all the time :-\. I will post more pics soon.
Anakin, get yer pics of U995 up , will ya? Id love to see them . I was just disappointed that the U505 exhibit was so dark. Its ok when you are there, but for pictures, Its a dead loss! :(

Been doing a bit more of the old oil canning and got  some more pics.
Hope Im doing ok :-\







Sorry about the bits of scrapings still lying about the hull. I am having a real battle with them as to who owns the spare bedroom and they are winning :-[

Thanks Wink, thats praise indeed coming from a master like yourself ;)
I have another little side project Im working on, just again, to practise techniques. See what you think,





Im not really that much into modelling armour as U boats is my passion, but I wanted to try out different effects. I used brown wash, some black wash, dust  and finally dry brushing, which I may have overdone a touch, ::) but hey, its all experience, eh?

Hi Leth,

The oil canning looks good, but watch out for those edges as marked on the picture.



This will remain visible after painting, try to make these edges a bit smoother by sanding them, i know it`s a lot of work but it will be worth it in the end  ;)

Thanks Karel, I am glad to get any help I can, as I dont want to ruin the boat. Thats why I have so many side projects going on. I intend to take my time with the 1.72 boat whilst practising on cheaper easier to obtain kits. Any advice from top modellers like yourselves is greatly appreciated ;D

Thanks Anakin, but Oron wants me to pay to view the pictures :( Can you not put them on photobucket? I got directed there by Dougie, and it seems to be a pretty good site for sharing pictures.

Ice, I really like the tank weathering! The chipping is especially nice, a good amount of it, but edges are subtle. And you've got the perfect experimenting attitude!
