It fell off a table in a empty room (spooky) lol look @ https://www.scale-models.co.uk/threa...c-u-552.42770/

Man that really sucks, but I have to say I thought your wife was amazing buying you a replacement. Sometimes I think we underestimate our better halves and their understanding of just how much work goes into these things.

Still, personally I thought your attitude about starting afresh was excellent and the work you're doing on this build is awesome - it loos amazing!

Cheers Arnold, the wife got a slap up meal and some extra housework done for a week lol, she is one in a million :smiling3:

[Bri62]

Started the diesel engine there is a LOT of work in this compartment but going to take my time :smiling3:

Awesome stuff! So how many submarine movies have you watched as inspiration whilst you've been building this?

[Bri62]

Tbh I have only watched das boot albeit 4 times @{

[Bri62]

Done for the day all modelled out ............progress so far


I know it looks too clean I'll sort it later

Yes Neil lots of figures more than I can actually use

If you can give it a full crew, it would show just how cramped those things used to be...
After the sudden loss of the first build I would have to have taken a long break from building a new one right off!
You are doing a cracking job and it will be impressive when finished.

Had an hour this morning and OMG my nerves are shot not sure you can see the tiny valve stems
