U-100 in Progress

[jess]

Hi Guys,

Here's a link to see my latest build, U-100. It's the Revell 1/125 kit with Nautilus resin CT w/ photoetch. Plus Steve Nuttal's scopes and barrels which look fantastic.
I did a little modification such as filling and reopening the forward most flood holes, 2 starboard, 3 port. I sanded away the exhaust cover and opened it up. Opened a couple of more flood holes under the exhaust opening and the 3 holes aft the saddle tanks. I also put in the semblances of a pressure hull with torpedo containers and exhausts.
The paints are WEM's Kriegsmarine colourcoats]http://homepage.mac.com/jess13/PhotoAlbum46.html[/url]

Wonderful! I wanted to build

Wonderful! I wanted to build one of these little gems before going into the building of a bigger U-boat but I can see that you've already done this yourself! Keep us updated on the work!

Yeah, except I did it

Yeah, except I did it backwards. I went big first, then small. I used to think the parts on the big one were small. Now I have a better appreciation of how big the parts really are.

Thanks Captain Nemo12!

Take Care,

Jess

Excellent work! It's an inspiration

Excellent work! It's an inspiration to me! I'm waiting for the Nautilus Models CT to arrive!

I love this kind of "small" models (I don't consider a 1/125 scale U-boot to be small!)

nice work Jess...you've taken what

nice work Jess...you've taken what I always considered a "sow's ear" of a kit to a "silk purse"...very nice.
