Here are the pictures of my finished wreck of U 444. She was sunk off the West Coast of Ireland in March 1943. I took the photos at dusk, which gave them a sort of grainy, misty look, which I think makes them look all the more spooky.....
I had thought of removing some of the deck plates, but decided to leave well alone and quit whilst I was ahead!
I have tried to modelled her as I would imagine she might look like deep down in the North Atlantic where very little marine life would be present, deteriation was slow and resting in pitch black silence for 70 odd years.
When along trundles an R.O.V........

I hope you approve of my stab at a deepdown wreck. It's been fun trying to get the model something like I imagine she would look like.
Thanks for looking at the rather too many pictures......
There is a brief build thread for this.
All comments and suggestions which I could incorporate into the next one (if there will be) would be gratefully received.
Cheers all,
Ron
