S-100 LastkhanKumpel

  Managed to persuade the bridge assembly to fit...though I think I scared the cat a few times!

   Starting on the odds and ends...bow first, of course !

 I like it, Greg.

Oh My!! What BiG Teeth she's got!!

  Glued the boat onto the base prior to adding all the little doo-hickies...since those love to break off!

Starting to work on the water effect...using a new technique for me:

I'm using tissue paper soaked in a mixture of white glue and future floor polish...hey, it might work.

Interesting concept! Keep me posted on this experiment  Now if I see a mushroom cloud over AZ, I'll know what happened

    since I had to get up at two in the morning anyway (smoking the turkey), I thought I would make some progress on the kit:

Looking very interesting! I particularly like the colour scheme, certainly makes a change from Schnellbootweiss...

Is the "88" going to have a shield?

  I don't know...with the Danish navy being involved in the cold war as a sub hunting unit, etc, I am not sure if they would have used a shield or not. What do you all think?

   The water is coming along well, but sloooooooooow !

  Here's a shot from the front...what nice lines!

  Here are a few shots so far:

Looking very good! The splash effect on the water is very effective. I didn't realise you were building it as a hydrofoil - thought the foils were just stabilisers for the additional weight of the 88mm gun mount.

I thought this was a "Kriegsmarine 46" design? 

From the top:

 Totally cool!

Hey Greg, that overhead shot really is Impressive!! You did a fine job on the water as well.

Sorry to hear of your troubles... good thing the deadline was pushed back huh.
