I have just come across this, almost humorous, story of the sinking of a German U Boat at the end of WW2. https://www.warhistoryonline.com/world-war-ii/plumbing-disaster-u-1206.html

I built two of the pt212 back in 2019, for a "Pearl Harbor Remembrance", with a bunch of other 1/96 and 1/100 naval vessels.


as well as a 1/64 scale elco boat that Lindberg sells

Not a huge amount of progress to report .
Spent four evenings cussing and swearing . Trying to get the ice bumpers / rubbing strakes to the correct profile .
These things nearly drove me insane but I think they are as good as I am going to get them .

Jager do a good selection of figures at various scales. I have bought one of their figures for my Silver Mist and it is pretty good.

The new Pelorus stand makes sense - ships post WW2 had a master gyrocompass down in the depths of the ship (usually 2) and had synchro/servo repeater systems throughout the ship that were linked to the gyro repeats as well as weapons/sensors so that they were all synchronized.

Ian,


Simple P38 car body filler 

Given you have been fettling 3d prints, you have done well just to need that amount of post coating remedial work. Looking fab mate :)

I'm intrigued to see what material you use for the cheeks and roof David. An option is a blue/pink/black foam core coated with Milliput.
