The guy in the blue shirt was bought as 1/76. Compared to the 1/72 and the submarine it seems bigger.

Oh my... Given your sunken B-25, it's no surprise that you would pull this through with flying colours... Respects for such inspirational work!

Tried to simulate some moisture on the surface. I used gloss varnish and various colors of the paint on the hull.

Łukasz Gliński
Very interesting 👍

Photos are very dark. I think you ought to take new photos, or, adjust gamma curve for each photo, to brighten them in a natural looking way (super easy), and then re-upload them.

Thanks Lukasz, much appreciated! 🙂 @Treehugger indeed the pics were very dark. On my screen they looked ok, my screen settings were just too bright. Adjusted the gamma, hopefully looking better now.

In preparation for the recovery a bar was attached to the submarine using ratchet straps. Found this could be a nice detail to have. Straps were made from paper and wire.

5 November 2020, 16:44

coporado
After some paintwork the bar was ready for installation. Added some antiskid mats made from sanding paper as a nice detail.

Glued the straps today. Not sure about the figure, this one in the blue shirt looks a bit too large.

Patrick Hagelstein
Hard to tell judging by the cover picture with actual persons in the picture, but he surely looks bulbous. Can you measure him and judge if he's somewhere between 1,70-1,90m?

Spanjaard
He is a strong guy. He used to play ruby, you know😉

Both you´re right concerning the figures mates. Still not sure about it. Will see once the detailing and base is done. Started making water from toilet paper and white glue. Still needs some gloss varnish for completion. Steel cable was made from rigging yarn and wire. The cover was fixed to the deck using wire.

@spanjaard: i have to admit, that I won't be at SMC this year 🙁 Not my year concerning model shows, all dates blocked with other appointments. Better planning for 2023 is at the top of the list 🙂
