Revell 1/72 U-Boat

Hopefully I can post more pictures than the same one!

Oh no, she's ramming the Santa Maria!

She has come up quite nicely indeed.....Cheers mark

Very nice work, I have a 1/144 type VII in the stash and I hope I can do half the job you've done

Phil

Nice build, i like the weathering. How long did it take to complete.

Nice job, makes me want to start mine just to enjoy painting it.

Thanks Mark.

Phil,

It gave me a chance to break out my airbrushes again and thanks for the compliments.

Bish,

Thanks!  I figure that it took me about 30 hours total or there abouts.  I was a bit rushed and didn't get a chance to open up all the vents among other things I can see now; isn't that the way it always is?

Steve

Thanks Scott, as you know I'm more of a sailing ship guy but it doesn't mean I can't go wild every now and then!

Steve

docidle-This is a nice build.  I like the weathering.  Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Philip!

Steve

What paints did you use? I'm building the same one.

Alex,

The colors are:

Primer - Tamiya Fine Surface Primer - Gray - Spray Can

Lower Hull - Tamiya German Gray TS-4 - Spray Can

Upper Hull - Tamiya Light Gray AS- 16 - Spray Can

Deck - Floquil Roof Brown

Weathering:

Model Master Enamels - Burnt Umber and Burnt Sienna.

Steve

Stunning. You got an excelent weathering effect with minimal colours.

Thanks Blairy.  I did forget to list Vallejo Italian Tankcrew and lime green which I mix in varying degrees to get a slimy waterline.  Otherwise, I look at weathering of ships a whole lot differently than weathering tanks!  What I should have done was streak parts of the upper hull with a light color to simulate salt water stains.
