USS Blueback Sub Build
Up-dated pic. This is my sub!
I'm currently doing a US sub which will have RCABS static dive and subtech running gear. Dave Welch tubes and end caps etc. The pic is of the first one off the press by Steve Neill CA.
Here's a link to the page on my site:

Mags, if this build thread is going to be anything like the U-Boat story I for one will be looking forward to it.

Thanks Bunk.
That u-boat build was the best thing I ever did. Really enjoyed it and it hooked me on subs.
I'm updateing my site page as I go and I'll post a thread in 1 go once it's done on here. Save doubling up every night etc. Give me more build time etc.
I know it's slack but I'm a bit slack too!
Still love this site BTW

I'm not doing a full thread on it here as I said above, but I'll post an occasional pic along the way.

Hi Jason,
How did you do that scum line? With an airbrush and masking tape obviously, but did you just mask of the top end and do the rest freehand? What technique did you use. Just one colour? One continous movement or lots of sharp bursts? How far away did you hold the brush aand did you spary the entire lower hull with a dusting or did you stop just below the scum line?
Cheers!

Yes I masked it using the lazer light on a block and mixed up a couple of colours. First a brown a bit darker than the bottom paint and second a green to simulate mould/weed. I airbrushed (low pressure-just enought to work the spray) in a constant flow from about 45 deg from above and about 6" away aiming at the tape to allow the overspray to fan out on the hull. I wipe the dribbles off the tabe with rag before they reach the hull. I also always do a coat of clear before any detail work incase I want to 'click REDO' IE rub it back off and start again. This saves damaging the base coat.The green is just on odd bits as it would be for real. Low pressure areas etc. I use car acrylic laquer for the above and A L clear sprayed from about a metre to land slightly sandy.
Thanks for your interest BTW!!
