Very very nice!  I agree with Jan that the pre-shading shows the oil canning quite well.

Nice work giving the deck a "worn look" Siara.  I think it adds character to your U-boat.

Nice work, i like your use of brown for postshading, makes the hatches stand out.

Cheers/Jan

Thanks guys! ;D

I have painted all the black bits.
I mixed the black with grey, and it turned out darker than expected, so the white filter will be applied. The flat varnish after decals should tone it down also.

Siara, one quick question.
The deck, is it the final look of it ? Or there will be more paint on it ?
Not criticizing, just asking.

The deck is just painted the base colour, and i will be adding the grey bits later, with oil stains and general grubiness later.
Filters will be also added. I was going to do the masking tool and apply the various filters imitating the deck planking, but i dont think thats the case in RL. Any suggestions?

Looking great! How much weathering are you going to put on it?
