Hello Jack,

Very nice to see your photos.

Very beautiful, very nice to see the crew and a lot of attention to detail.

Absolute craftsmanship.

Regards
Henk.
 
That is a fantastic model with so much detail that looks very realistic. Well done!
 
A very nice depiction of a complex project. It deserves a display case with a backing mirror so the overall magnificence of the entire work can be appreciated. The lighting gives it vibrancy; life!
Then at would really tern heads!
 
Stunning! Gives me much inspiration and ideas for when I tackle this build. Thanks for the great photos.
I'll have to look around for your WIP as well.
 
This model belongs in a museum! What gets me the most is that it gives a glimpse how life was onboard, and the space they had to live & work in! Pretty miserable conditions....I could not have done it! From the model, I can sense the smell of food from the cook's galley... the smell of diesel & oil in the heat of the engine room.... the stale air and sweating bodies of the crewmen in the Bunking/torpedo room! They were a special breed, as well as they are today. This model is an assault on the senses!

Thank you Lobo. This was exactly what I was aiming for during the build; trying to depict not only the conditions in each compartment, but to build somewhat of a story line within them whereas each figure provides that in their positioning and body language. I still have additional provisions and things to place in each module that will enhance the perspective. And also a "Thanks" to all others who have commented. I appreciate it! Beer

****Update**** July 1, 2024. Lobo, guess where it's going? A Military War Museum in Miami !!

Great job, congrats!! I watched the movie 3 or 4 times and find your work so accurate, not only as a model, but even in the atmosfere and suggestions your U-boat portraits.
