Gemütlich!

Stellar and amazing.

You’re going to have to hang up some hams and other food. Can’t wait to see that.

I don't think I'll stockk food. The XXIIIs were coastal baots with short mission times. So the need to pack them with food was not as pressing as with the long distance VIIcs or IXs.

I should have known that. Well, maybe a loaf of bread, Wiener schnitzel and a jar of hot mustard.

Not that I'm lazy, but this stuff is taking forever. Starboard the wooden benches....allone the decals took over a week. Then scribing the floor plates, painting the aluminum liners, the green linoleum + clear coat. getting everything together and then the beds...the mattress are coverd in self-printed decals. I like it. Some aditional details like the cable harness from the control room to the battery room and that's it for now.

Getting there.

OMG... SOOOO gorgeous! Great work!

[DrSchmidt]

Thanks...I'm quite happy with it as well.

fantastic work as usual! what do you have left to do (we haven't seen the full hull from you)?

[DrSchmidt]

I have to complete the torpedo room....so attaching the bow bulk head and the torpedo tubes, tables, port beds. The the machine sektion: Diesel, electic motor, creep drive. The hull is simple: Bronco 1:35 plastic kit.....

Oh, I know what kit you started with. All these subassemblies are incredible, and I was just wondering if we'd get to see the "big picture" of the kit as you've detailed it so far.

[DrSchmidt]

Made a little progress. Took care of the beds on the port side and decided to show the front two in folded up position to show what was possible and give everything a more real feel. The undersides of the beds took time. The chess board pattern is a combo of decals, color and washing. Tedious....

Andreas,

I think Sam has said it all! "INCREDIBLE" Outstanding workmanship to say the least!

Thank you again for taking the time to post these beautiful photos!

Thanks allot...

[DrSchmidt]

And some more detail work....the support wires and the fence of the upper bed are installed. Thought that would be difficult, bit everything went on just fine....
