Jack's Border 1/35 U-Boat Conning Tower

Absolutely fantastic work on the figs Jack!!! They look great and well placed. As a thought, if you have any Tamiya German armor or wheeled vehicle kits, with figs, there might be a set of binoculars in one of them...

The Committee are gathering like hawks !

Thank you John.

Jack, leave the figs alone Buddy!!! They look fantastic to me and I can only wish to get a finish like that on even one fig I may attempt, in my next life, that is........Super stuff!!!

Allen

Thanks Allen, kind words.

Just read this thread start to finish!! Absolutely amazing!! Boats rust - something many people miss out. Salt water is a killer but you have nailed it.

Cheers Doug!

Hi Jack, just went through the last few pages and you deserve more than a pat on the back. Beautifully painted hull and coning tower. The figures will be icing on the cake.

Cheers,
Wabble

Thanks again Allen. Yeah I found a pair, but they are very different and much smaller than the other 'Nautical' binoculars. If I can't scratch, they will be in.

This is simply stunning Jack

Thanks Mick!
