Brian's 1/48 Dkm u-Boat Type Viic U-552 Take 2

[Bri62]

Some more progress

[Bri62]

Work is slow atm having to wait for things to dry and run out off paint for the deck.






Looking back on Take 1 the weathering was quite heavy. good? or a bit lighter?

[Andy the Sheep]

First take was good; keeping that area clean had to be very difficult even in peacetime and torpedoes did not belong to the "tidy object" category.

I don't much like Lacquer paints

Really? For something you don't like, you've done an incredibly smart job with it! :tears-of-joy:

Thanks Ian, and yes I will

Morning peeps, totally run out of LP-39 and the local model shop is closed today I think I thinned it a bit too much as finding it hard to cover anyway did a bit this morning :smiling3:





It's all looking too clean at the moment but I'll rectify that later when it's going together

Not a whole lot done just 1st stage weathering

Brian,
Lovely work mate. I think the choice of a lighter colour is a good move. It makes the detail pop more and will look even better when the hull is closed up.

Thx Paul I think your right the lighter colour will make things more visible when everything is closed up

[Bri62]

[Bri62]

Started to think about closing it all up and that will be it for this module.
