                        Looks great Luc.
                        Question on the figures. Are they the soft plastic like the old Airfix figs or are they hard? If soft, what did you use to paint them?

                        I have the same set of figures awaiting embarkation on my 1/72 U Boat when I get round to building her!

                        Yep, the figures are made from a soft polythene-type plastic.

                        That is what I thought but the build ups I have seen look really good. Do they have much flash?

                        Very nice looking boat. Love the display w/ photo. Great looking figures too.

                        The insulators are especially nice. Those little details really put the realism into a model.

                        Thanks for sharing.

                        thanks fellas for replying Wink [;)] as for the figs. they are soft plastic Dead [xx(] no flash just thin moldseems on the arms and legs. just give them a good wash in warm water with washingup liquid and gave them a cover first with matt clear them painted with acrillycs paint and when done gave them another coating with matt varnish (with enamels the paint started to crack Angry [:(!])

                        Maffen,

                        You did a brilliant job with your effort...the paint and detailing are very authentic and brings the subject to life. Hope you get a lot of compliments on your project. Great photos too...

                        Take care,
                        Tank

                        Luc,

                        Very nice U-boat you've got there!! I like the subtle weathering job. It seems just right and not overdone like you often see.

                        Jeff

                        Maffen, what did you use to paint the deck? I use oil paints to paint mine, because it's organic, I can get more sublties. But, I really like the way yours looks too.

                        Thanks,

                        Jess

                        Maffen,
                        You have got the juice. Das Unterseeboot looks ready to put a fish through a convoy escort and i like the extra details right down to the deck gun tie-down. Sweet work ... but then you Belgians make that wickedly good chocolate, too .....
                        Life is tough. Then you die.

                        Nice OOB model. Maybe you might inspire me to build one since I am not real keen on spending a large amount of money on it. The figures really make the model personal.
