Hi Helmut,
Thank you for posting your build of U 593. Really nice work and weathered very nicely. The commander looks suitably panic sticken when seeing an escort. How did you paint the figures? They look fantastic.
Cheers,
Dougie

Hi Dougie,


Thanks for your words! I really appreciate.


The figures are painting all in acrylics from Scale 75 and Andrea Color.
All the mixes of colors are different for each figure to create a unique
Piece for each crew of the u boot. Some part of the painting process was with airbrush
And brush.


P.S. I love your Gunther Prien U 47 Book!!! Spectacular!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
