    👀 In this Episode:
    Join me behind the scenes as we dive into crafting both the interior and exterior of the conning tower, exploring techniques from chipping fluid application to weathering with oil colors, and portraying realistic rust and wear through varied shades and washes. Witness the journey from assembly and painting to finalizing the fine details that grant the U-Boat its authentic, battle-hardened persona.
    🔍 What's Ahead:
    In forthcoming episodes, anticipate a detailed build of the 60cm long upper deck, featuring extensive weathering and detailing work, eventually culminating into a mesmerizing ocean diorama, elegantly framed in 3D and illuminated by subtle LED lighting effects.

    🚢 About the U 96:
    The Type VII-C U-Boat, notably the U 96, not only marked its formidable presence in the WWII Atlantic, but it also permeated popular culture, becoming an emblematic symbol of the intense naval warfare of its era. Widely recognized from the revered German film and later TV series "Das Boot", which eloquently navigated through the perilous and intensely emotional journey of its crew, the U 96 has since harbored a compelling narrative both historically and in cinematic lore. My model seeks to encapsulate not just the engineering brilliance and rustic durability of this iconic vessel but also endeavors to resonate with the poignant stories and silent echoes from its traverses beneath the unforgiving sea, encapsulating a physical homage to naval history and cultural storytelling alike.

      The one from Revell? I unfortunately don’t have the space for that (the 1/35 is just the upper deck part). Yes, I’ll add a water base, in a self build 3d frame, with clouds and thunder effects. At least that’s the plan for now…

    One huge mistake:there is no horseshoe buoy on the conning tower,it would float on the surface when the submarine dives
