Hi Don!
A Merry Christmas to you!
You should be able to find Krupp Werks a good home! What a wonderfull diorama! Thank you for any help on the Type VII F! I have been working on my 1/72 Type IX U-805 project. I am taking a break for the hoildays, will begin again on Boxing Day. I needed a break from this. It truly is becoming a major work in progress! It is fast becoming a major scratch building effort!
So what are you working on now? Another 3 year project? Let me know how and what you are up to my friend!
Best Regards,
Dan

I'm sure the 805 will be quite the boat when finished.
I'm doing Revell's 1/72 scale U-boat as U96. The origional plan was to do it OOB, but I made the mistake of seeing Siara's thread and from then on all bets were off. I started the project on Sept 15 and
as of today I am not yet at Revell's step one in the kit instructions! Hopefully it will not be a three year project, but I could see it taking the better part of a year.
Needless to say, I do not have 1/100 of his modeling skills (Does anyone. I wonder?) but I am trying to follow his lead where I am able. I am also using both Wink's and Glenn Cauley's builds for inspiration and information.
Right now I have the scratchbuilt pressure hull almost finished, the holes and vents drilled out, and the exterior hull 'oilcanned.' Lots of pressure hull detailing that will not be readilly seen, but I feel good knowing it's there, plus the fact that it allows me to sharpen my modeling skills along the way. With luck, and a good tailwind I should have the hull halfs together before the new year.
I hope this note finds you well, and I wish you all the best through the holidays. Stay in touch.
Don
