Hello everybody, motivated by Karel's masterpice I took U-1023 out of the shelve and gathered strenght to work on it. I added a scum line and some seaweed trying to emulate Karel's technique. I'm also reworking the painting to make it look more weather-beaten, like the late war boat she was. initial plans for the rigging have been drawn and I'm looking forward to finish the model.
Tomorrow I'll post some pictures since the sun has already gone down.

Hello everybody. The light outside was nice so I did some photos of U-1023 where you can see the seaweed I added, I've also darkened the upper hull a bit since it was too light. Should I add anything to the lower hull or is it ok the way it is? I'm open to all comments, opinions, recommendations, etc.

Bracco,

the seeweed looks good but there is one point:
be carefull with rust below the waterline, there wasn`t much rust there because the lack of oxigen.

Of course there was rust on some places even under water, but this rust should be dark, almost black.
By airbrushing some different shades of grey on the hull, you can give the hull a bit more `depth`.

On this pic you can see the variety of shades (and stains) on the hull:

Karel, thanks for your observation. The weathering was done almost half a year ago and at that time I didn't have that knoweledge. Right now I'm working on adding some grey shading as you told me but removing the rust seems very hard at this stage, so I'll have to live with it. Once I'm done with the shading I'll post some photos of it.
Pepper: I'm not sure what the problem could be, is anybody else unable to see the photos?

She looks amazing bracco!  I think in some respects there would be rust below the waterline once she was removed from the water and dry docked.  It certainly would not take long for the oxidization process to begin.  I suppose it would all depend on your depiction of her.  Either way she looks great!

Regards,

T

Hello everybody, I've been working on U-1023 weathering below the water line trying to do what Karel suggested. I added some light grey streaks as you can see in the photos. Tell me what you think of it!

Bracco,

Can you see what a big effect this shadowing gives ;) In my opinion it looks much more realistic now, well done  :)

Indeed it does look much better Karel. Should I give a touch of black to the rusted areas below the waterline? What do you think about the weathering of the upper hull?
