A 'Good' Day in The Bay of Biscay...VII-C U.Boat

[Guest]

Another Ron masterpiece. How do you manage to make the water so real. The B&W photos fit nicely with the era - very atmospheric. Cheers Derek

Superb Sub matey , the water is your usual totally real standard , amazing . THe figures look fine , in fact I'm sure the guy on the rail of the conning tower is hurling over the side , as you say a normal day in the bay of Biscay!!LOL!! Great job mate , cheers tony

One man's hurly is another man's burley, get the lines over the side

Very realistic looking Ron, you have captured the moment nicely. I enjoy seeing all your water scenes.

Thanks boys. Apart from the excellent comments, the posts did make me chuckle.....Don't you just love this forum?!

Alan, he certainly did, and they came from Knotty Ash, an area which really does exist in Liverpool.....

If my mucker Tony reckons the figures look o.k., that'll do me!

Lindsey, great to see you posting on here again...

Ian, if you don't mind I'll waive the Tsunami.....See what I typed then?!!!!

Thanks again to all,

Ron

I liked the B/W photos again, very historical. I wish my camera had alternate color settings, but it doesn't.

I need to get me a U-boat...

Thanks Steve, if you do fancy getting a U. Boat, I've found the 1/144 scale just right, they are about 19" long, and the right size to do a bit of sea around it. The two I've done are Revell and make up into nice kits...Don't know how accurate the detail is, but I don't much care...I build for fun!lol

They have natural U-boat looks to them, I don't see anything out of the ordinary from what I would expect to see on a U-boat. It is a subject I know in some depth, if you will excuse the pun.

Now, where were we?

Oh yes. I mentioned the final scene from Murphy's War. The one with the barge, the crane, the torpedo and the U-boat. It's painfully obvious you've perfected the technique of how to do the U-boat and the water, so when are you going to treat us to the rest?
