This is a 1/144 Revell U. Boat kit. I've tried to make a rough sea with the boat running with the waves, rather than the usual crashing head on into them.
It was a toughy to visualise, because the boat's top surface speed was 10 knots and waves travel at around 20mph, so the waves would actually pass the boat, causing it to wallow in the troughs of the waves.
I managed to get some 1/144 figures, but I think they are too small, but I stuck them on anyway!
I hope you like this interpretation of the Bay of Biscay on a calm day!!!
