The graphic work is looking great Simon.  They are good enough to use for reference.

I can get a little carry away with the detail sometime. I have been working on the wooden deck of my VIIC/41 for two days now, it has over 400 bolts and over 1,100 wood screws and about 40 rivets. Which I have place and align each one ;D All my drawings are base on blue prints or photographs of U-995. Almost all the piping within the u-boat will even have the right number of bolts on the plates  ;D


You can see the pipeing under the wooden deck  ;D


Engine Room pipeing base on detail pipeing plans ;D


Diesel exhaust system base on pictures of U-995 ;D

Thats just nuts Simon. :o

Sometimes i think its more than making plastic model. You certainly have patience my friend.
Just one thought- we had the discussion here on AMP few months back about the U-995, and i would be carefull judging the appearance of it as the example of the VIIc/41 in general. Its known to go through several refits while in Norwegian Navy.
Still- theres not much to choose from- unless you are the deep sea diver. ;D

Hi Siara. Your right about all the changes that U-995 has been through. I have a good idea that they are through other internet boards, pictures & books etc... There even been changes while at Laboe. I have been for the most part luckly and found many of them and have found a few new ones myself. A couple of months ago I was able to found the original colour of the main electrical control panel, which I thought was very cool ;D

If I lived near Laboe, I would love to restore U-995 back to its prime and original form. I would also be really keen on making very detail draws and 3D models of her inside and outside, and making them free to everyone before all the information and data is loss forever.  I almost had the chance to see U-995 a couple of years ago. As I was going for a skiing trip to Europe but I had to cancel my trip about one week before I left :'( Now, that I am building a new house for myself, it going to be few a years before I can save the money again. I also have double reasons to go to Germany as my girlfriend is German and I really miss her in our summer down here.
