U-217

Posted by littletimmy on Sunday, June 25, 2017 6:37 PM

I was just bored and felt like posting somthing.

RoG 1/144 type VII- D.

Navy gunship grey with Testers Gunmetal. These shots were before I weathered it.

Sorry the pictures are sooo old but I dont have a camera at the moment so it's whatever I had stored on photobucket. Tried to crop them but photobucket wouldnt co-operate.

Dont worry about the thumbprint, paint it Rust , and call it "Battle Damage"

HOKEY !!!!!! I'ts been a while. Hows that motorized Acadamy sub coming along?

This paticular sub has been sitting in a box with it's 11 sisters ... all broken from moving. However I will soon (August I believe) have my very own 12 by 20 shed/sub pen. This box of subs will be the first thing I tackle. ( My wife says "yes you can buy a new camera". Pretty sure she just wants me out of the kitchen when she's cooking. )

So soon I will be posting: HOW TO FIX BROKEN STUFF

Thank's Tojo. This was one of the few models I have built that actually turned out perfect the first try. Don't know how.....

My 1st kit - the motorized (but not the way I built it) was done 3-4 years ago.

Next sub was done last year was a OLD Revell U-505 that was incorrectly ID'd! Wrong hull design all together.

Photobucket held them hostage and instead of paying their ransom demands I left a truely "vile" and obsene message on their comments page. I then downloaded all the pictures I wanted. I then changed my user name and password to more profanity.

Aparrently this got their attention and what's left of my account is now unaccesable to anybody.

Give me a moment and I will see if I can get any of these pictures back.
