1/100 U-VII C U-Boat

[Underlord]

You are just a paper modeling MACHINE! My gawd I can't believe the detail that you are coaxing out of paper! Absolutely amazing, and a joy to watch!

 

[Papermodder]

Thank you Underlord.
I am not a master but always open to learn more. I love following the real masters of this hobby to learn from them.

Time for a short update. ;D

Have been working most of the weekend and still working on, the construction of the main deck gun.
This thing has so many parts, I didn't even bother to count anymore. :
This is a micro model all on it's own. Some parts you cannot even see, like the breech.

Still lots to do on this gun yet. Still plugging away.

Thanks for watching.

Still working on the main deck gun. I love this gun. The designer put so much effort into it's content, I'm trying to put my effort into an honorable build of it as well as the whole model. I find myself continually working in a small scale, learning new techniques as I go along. I was watching another modeler today building card aircraft at 1/1700 scale as well as a dio. on a quarter. So I can not complain on size.

Still more to come this is the gun so far.

Have fun with your build.

Tonight's update.
It has been a fruitful day. The main deck gun is finished.
There certainly were a lot of parts to this piece. It was an interesting build though.

What is left now with this gun, is to mount it on deck. Then to move on to more detail to add to this sub.

Questions and comments are welcome.
Thanks for watching.

Hello, I did some more work tonight and I thought I would give this update.
I mounted the gun on the deck tonight as well added some deck detail around the base of the gun.

I hope you like it so far.

Jim

 

[TRM]

[bdr65]

Just caught this thread. Very intriguing indeed.... Plenty of detail ..........
Looks good papermodder.

 

[Papermodder]

Hi TRM, Thank you.
By the way, isn't that our job.

Thank you Bdr65.

[TRM]

LOL...More like keeping up with the Joneses Jim!! ;D ;D ;D

 

[Papermodder]

Time for today's update. ;D
Getting there. It's almost time to rig her.
Today was spent cutting out and installing deck railings and fittings.

Only a few more pieces to go and she will be complete.
I hope you have enjoyed following along.

Jim

 

[TRM]

Nice bit of work today Jim!!!!

 

[Papermodder]

Thank you TRM.

Jim

 

[Papermodder]

Not a lot to report tonight.

Just started rigging this craft. This will probably take a couple of days to complete, as can only do point to point, and have to wait for the glue to set before moving to the next point. :

Keep building.
