    Took my breath away, best submarine model i've seen anywhere, by any body. Some of your techniques and vision is incredible, superb.

    I'm speechless. I have been working with u-boats for most of my life (I'm a military historian) but this is not a model, it's scaled down reality. Every detail of a type VIIc boat is correct.
    Excellent work mate, I'm thrilled. Thanks for sharing and greetings from Cuxhaven on the German North Sea shore. 👍🏼

    Only an artist does it! Amazing!! Thank you for creating this beautiful sculpture and showing it to us.

    Oh my god. This is incredible... "some extras" - understatement of the decade. This is so impressive I'm actually flabbergasted at the skill that went into this.

    This has to be the best U Boat model I have seen so far, it looks so damned real with all the little details built into it. It is a museum quality piece without a doubt.

    The detail, and the battle-wear look on the wintergarden at 7:01 is unbelievable! The flak gun looks GREAT! The whole boat is amazing! Serious professional dedication on display there. Very, very well done, sir!

  • @thudor1
    @thudor1 3 года назад +2

    I'm almost afraid to look at the hi-res images of the finished model because I'd feel like I was on the business end of those torpedo tubes!! This is the most realistic U-boat model I've ever seen! Dare I say, it looked more convincing than the models used in Das Boot! I love how you dremeled the dents and dings into the hull and replaced the torpedo ports in the bow with precision-cut sheet metal and blended it seamlessly into the plastic, but the wire railing was genius! The aging and distressing effects made it look like it had survived more than its share of depth charges!

  • @brucegibbins3792
    @brucegibbins3792 2 года назад +2

    This Sub model is the work of a talented model builder.
    A keen eye for authentic detail seems instinctive.
    It's a pleasure to view such a creation and at the same time to wonder why such talent has been allocated to so few.🙂😉

    Breathtaking work.....I have just started this kit, the platinum addition, and so far I have spent 11 hours just working the hull textures and Linder holes and only halfway through! This is giving me so much encouragement, mine won’t have the internal detail you have added (thank god!) but your progress photos are invaluable for reference and your weathering videos are absolutely outstanding. So simple, but so effective...thank you...

    @craftpaint1644 3 года назад

    That's it. I don't have to watch any other U-boat videos. I'm in the painting stage of my type VII C. I had opened three of the forward torpedo doors, I used rolled paper for torpedo tubes. Drilled out the aft torpedo tube. Drilled the holes around the forward bow diving planes that are for the sound detector. That's as custom as I could go on my model. Yours is an heirloom.

  • @BigEasy0629
    @BigEasy0629 6 лет назад +7

    I’ve watched a lot of sub builds on RUclips. This is by far the best weathering job I have ever seen for a German ww2 sub. Amazing color selection, and application of streaks and rust. Fantastic job! Also I LOVED the port and starboard bow photographs. The lighting you used was perfect. I can’t wait for more vids.

  • @ichmalealsobinich
    @ichmalealsobinich 3 года назад

The only things that exceed my faux hatred are my admiration and the inspiration to make me try this. It would be great if you could provide a list of the photoetch and after-market kits and materials you used. Thanks so much for the vid.
