Spanjaardwow, paintjob is fantastic, without the hand it could pass as a much larger scale!

Mike VolkovThamk you guys! 😊
What do you think of the video? Not too long and boring?
3 November, 20:47
S MThe video was pretty long, but informative. Is that your real voice or are you using a synthesizer?

U-boat Hunt. Battle of the Atlantic diorama
1:700
Resin poured. Some torching needed to get reed of the most bubbles I can

Miguel VaqueroProbably, my most ambitous project yet. Im going to try and recreate a sinking of a submarine with depth charges, droped from a destroyer. Everything in 1/700 scale. For this, i bought the Battle of the Atlantic set, wich comes with a J-Claas destroyer, a type VII German submarine and a Short Sunderland amphibous plane.

Miguel VaqueroWelcome aboard guys!! Happy to have you along.
Of course Jay! There's always room in my ships😁😁
16 October, 13:47
Miguel VaqueroSub already done! It was small but detailed. The PE parts were really a challenge. Some weathering it's all it's left.

Miguel VaqueroToday i wanted to work on how i want my diorama to look. So i hoped on blender and downloded some free assets and placed them together to see how i want it to look. I think for the quantity of resin and the accuracy of the scene this is going to be more or less the final desing of my diorama.
21 October, 19:55
Miguel VaqueroStarting with the destroyer. Awesome detail too but a million tiny parts. Good challenge for sure
24 October, 09:52
Miguel VaqueroHey Jay! I've never heard of them. Could you indicate me to some references and I fo about them?
27 October, 11:28
Miguel VaqueroI don't know if I'm going to finish the Sunderland😞😞. The fitting between the fuselages is too bad and fragile, using putty is not going to do the trick this time cause it will hide a lot of the nice detail and I will not be satisfied. I'll think about how to do it but there's not much hope now😓
27 October, 18:20
Miguel VaqueroTo get my mind of the plane. I decided to destroy the sub.it turned out perfect, as I intended

Jay DubyaNot really where you are headed with your diorama, but this might give a bit of context to my 'historical' comment Miguel.
"A Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Sunderland (of No. 10 Squadron) made the type's first unassisted kill of a U-boat on 17 July 1940.[3]"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_Sunderland
Flying Porcupine
"Two examples, in particular, stand out: on the 13th of April 1940, a Sunderland operating off the coast of Norway was attacked by six Ju-88C heavy fighters – the Sunderland shot down one JU-88, damaged another so seriously it had to quit the fight, and drove the rest away.
A 1943 encounter with JU-88 was even more savage when a Sunderland from 461 Sqn RAAF was attacked by eight JU-88C long-range fighters. Despite the Sunderland being heavily damaged with most of the crew wounded, the Sunderland downed three attackers, damaged and drove off the rest and made the 560-kilometre return journey to Britain where the heavily damaged aircraft was beached at Cornwall."

Keep up the great work on these tiny models.
Cheers
PS The nickname 'Flying Porcupine' was probably just a bit of allied propaganda as there's not a lot of evidence the Germans ever referred to a Sunderland as one. It's a lot like the Japanese with the Beaufighter and Whispering Death.

Miguel VaqueroThanks for all the info Jay! I really appreciate it. And they could fit very well with this diorama. They actually performed anti submarine operations from GB and they actually sunk 6 U-boats.
I'm sure if I'm able to fix my Sunderland, I'll paint it with their colours. I loved their history
28 October, 18:32
Miguel VaqueroI've already glued the U-Boat to the acrylic sheet. As the background for the diorama states that the aft reserve torpedo exploded, to hide the cables I made some bubbles coming down from the exploded compartment. It's not the best but it's better than to have some cables seen.
4 November, 11:46
Miguel VaqueroThe acrylic sheets mold is done. The ship is now lifted with nylon cord to place on to the resin without sinking. And the u-Boat is secured in the container.
Next step, the resin pouring. I've never been so nervous about a model.

ΔΠBe aware there are two variants VS720029 and VS720029S! The one with the "S" at the end, has stencils for the Rheinmetall digital camo included, VS720029 not.
