jeroenpeters Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Thnx Obant! I guess you can say: I'm all over the place! Just sprayed the first layer of grey paint on the tower in two shades. Starting to look like a U-boot now! Cheers, Jeroen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still figuring out what hair colour he's getting! Cheers, Jeroen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeroenpeters Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hi all, another shot from the top. The bulge in front of the tower has the top sprayed dark grey. almost ready to spray the deck and lower sides of the hull. Cheers, Jeroen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamme Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hello Jeroen. Really Nice! Cheers. Jamme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeroenpeters Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Thnx Jamme! Here are some weathering - in - progress shots. Lots of washes and after shading with the airbrush. It's getting there. Can't wait to spray the final satin coat which should really bring this matt beast to live... Cheers, Jeroen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Great work Jeroen. Any chance of a pic of each of the figures, might see if I can get some for my Arado with catapult. I too have a S-100 so will be following that build closely, G-Factor make some propellers... I think I'm going to mount mine so it gives the impression of the boat stern up and turning slightly in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allok Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 What? That's not a plane! Looks bloody good, though. Nice work Jeroen. How long will it take to build the rest of the boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm going to mount mine so it gives the impression of the boat stern up and turning slightly in the water. That's actually a very good idea, mounting it like it's turning at full speed! Here's a link to a finished model, showing the figures pretty good: link If I was building the S-100 as a seaworthy model, I'd buy the brass props.

blackbetty Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 awsome work how long would the hull be in 1:32? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeroenpeters Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 awsome work how long would the hull be in 1:32? Hi there, I've seen the full hull version in real life. It's huge... The thing is 1.97 meters in length (6'3"). It's out of production now, due to it's size and probable low selling rate. About 1800 euro's.... 2500 dollars...

jeroenpeters Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 The compass decal was not usable. I've re-made the compass with various scratched items and drew a new decal in illustrator to a level where my printer was able to perform. The dial is 2,8 mm in diameter.
