    DONE!!!! This is the last build post for this model which started in 2006 (restarted in 2022). Thanks a million to Merriman for helping out in needed areas. This sub, like the Nautilus was a 'bucket-list' item to complete. The photos here don't do it justice. I thought the sun would help out, but it's just too big to get detail I guess. Anyway, I'm done and moving on and concentrating on other projects. So I finished the rigging and it was such a nice day I took the photos outside.

      Forgot, this is U-188, hence why it's all weathered to hell.

        I like the weathering on the deck. I have not seen this done like that. Well done.
        If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.
