Ok Marko. I just remember I believe the lower bunk (my bunk) was closed up between the floor and the bunk I can`t remember if there were lockers or a wall like hiding pipes and wires as in some places  I`ll go for lockers. I revert to the COs quarter. There were a lot of cupboards, lamps and bookshelfs.

Oh, okay, will add the wall below bunk. Well, from the photos that i got on the internet, captain bunk is closed up solid below. No lockers, not a thing, just wooden paneling. Technically i could add lockers below too, but there is no way that those would be visible from any angle, well except if i add mirrors :)

i made some snapshots how i made the tanks, probably a bit artistic, but in my opinion could trick the eye. there are subliminal indentations in the walls (0.15mm) and 0.3 also in the bottom. I "etched" the bottom a bit more since it is thicker, and i guess it will be better ratio with sligthly higher indentation. There are a lot of helping lines still visible, just ignore them. Once in a while i sort them out and assign them a proper layer :)

Also the floor of freshwater tank could not be rendered blue, since it is integrated into the main floor, so the whole thing would turn out blue, but it will be painted blue on assembly :)

Marko
Go to http://www.kubische-panoramen.de/index.php?id id=5373&p=  click on the vordere Centrale (forward controlroom) and direct you to the forward pressure hatchdoor. Through that door you are looking straigth to the COs quarter excactly as it should be with wardrobeclosets, cupboard and bookshelfs. Books and a few lamps are missing you`ll have them on Das Boot.

Freshwatertank. Let the tankwall go all the way up to the roof ( pressurewall ). Nice wavy freshwatersurface.

well, that is doable, however im not sure how to imitate the wavy freshwater surface then, i could paint blue all till the top and let the wavy etchings inside only will this height.

I think I would do that Marko. The wavy surface is what we call free surface and that was a nuisance on a sub and we avoided it as much as possible.
Both with regards to trim and the free surfaceeffect we had f.i. all the fueltanks watercompensated eg the tanks were always full as the used fuel was compensated with seawater. Wouldn`t work with the freshwatertanks though.

thanks for the panoramas Maciek, those are really nice and useful!

so should i leave the wavy surface indentation and paint the whole side up blue or ditch the wavy and go for straight through-up blue indentation without waves?

update on the Captains quarters (the cupboard handles are again a bit different than the real ones, but still have to over dimension those to get some depth effect)

Just looking at your COs quarter drawing I got a glimse of your wardroom table drawn with a single pillar leg. I believe it was the only table onboard having ordinary four legs as far as I remember.

Yes, and let the bulkhead go right to the top"roof"( pressurehull)

very well, will do so.

uhm, i just noticed on the set of plans that i have there is battery access hatch and magazine access hatch as well. However on the U-995 photos & panoramas i cannot locate such hatches (well except of the bigger one, and even that is subtle). Or were those beneath the floor wrap?

The captains writing desk has been edited to proper leg :)

Marko, the center of the battery hatch was about 15 cm aft of frame 57 and situated in the centerline of the pressurehull next to my bunk. It was a square hatch with sides appr 10 cm less than the framedistance and was very visible as it was opened twice per day.
