Panzerwomble Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) Been watching the "new" Das boot .....and had this lil thing tucked away . At 60 ish pieces it was a quick build , and then built the seascape same method as the S Boat earlier this year - decoupage, paint , lots of liquitex and then sticking cotton wool to your fingers with liquitex. On the whole think I enjoyed the S boat more . So "watery thing" part deux for July.

themongoose Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 That’s some great wet-work you’ve done there! Several shots look like you’re on a rolling swell for sure. monthebiff and Panzerwomble 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeC Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) Very nicely done . I seem to recall that U96 was Otto Kretschmer's boat. I read "The Golden Horseshoe" many years ago.

I read "The Golden Horseshoe" many years ago. I read the book (Das Boot) a few years ago, apparently Lothar-Günther Buchheim was a bit of a grouchy sod in later life, walking of the set of the film and declared it a travesty of his book.....despite it being the highest budget German production of all time . Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock was the captain on U96 when Buchheim was aboard. Edited July 16, 2022 by Panzerwomble MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aircommando130 Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Wow! That's awesome! You captured the cold Atlantic perfect! I imagine there's some 1/144 sea sick submariners on board too! Cheers...Ron Panzerwomble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
