Just bought me one after watching your video. Probably a mistake since I've not done a model since I was 10 years old. But, with you to guide me ..... should be a piece of cake. Haha.
Hi, first of all amazing work on this model. I really love it ! During your painting process I saw that you use a darker and lighter tone, can you tell me witch paint you used for the light and dark tone ? Thanks in advance.
Hi Jens, thank you very much for your comment! The used colors are simply mixed tones with the ijn Grey, I probably mixed in some white for the lighter tone and some black for the darker tone. I hope this helps :)
Stunning Werk!....LOVE the verdigris finish!....Thats a fun one to practice with. Verdigris is a great technique for larger home decor faux finish painting projects too (Painting Contractor for most of my life) Q: -Did the Kriegsmarine use copper sheathing (Or alloy of a sorts) on the outer hulls to assist with reducing seaborne corrosion/galvanic electrolysis?...I dont know a whole lot about the KM branch & their Subs, kinda solely focus on WW2 German armor myself...
Thank you very much again! And as for your question about the Kriegsmarine, yes, as far as I know alloy was was used on the outer hulls of some German naval vessels, including submarines, during World War II! :)
@@ModeliteDiorama CuNi...-Cupro Nickel... ~Copper, nickel & brass alloy. Cheaper than pure copper sheets for vessel cladding & additionally resistant to corrosive effects of salt water, electrolysis & sea water borne boring critters. More nickel in pure color upon initial roll-mill refinement/manufacturing, but gaining an oxidized verdigris finish @ extended exposure, favoring the oxidation properties of copper itself (What Ive read @ least)
Sadly, it's unrealistic. This kind of weathering would mean years at sea. Most of the boats didn't survive more than a year or two so they never even got much more than surface rust.
Awesome!!!! Can I ask you??? Im new in plastic world,, my Uboot is done and I want to paint it like you,,, that colors you used to weathering and chipping,,,, its acrylic or oil paints? I have acrylic from revell but Im affraid it will not work 🤷♂️ I cannot reach blur effect... Do you have any email or messenger?? :D
Hello, Thank you for your kind words :). For the chips I used the same tamiya which I used for the airbrush-paintjob. But i mixed them to receive lighter and darker versions of the base tone. I did this because it is important that the chips are matching with the basetone. For the Rust i used an Revell emailcolor :). And for the saltwater and algae effect i used oil paints. If you have more questions, feel free to ask them here in the comment section :)
OK :),, then,, workflow,, acrylic rust spray (I dont have airbrush yet) , on rust Ill aply chipping medium,, then dark grey spray on torso and tanks,, soft grey on board and upper bottoms. Make chipping. Use gloss varnish. Then Ill use rust acryloc color with small brush on details,,, black and rust wash.... Semi matt varnish .. On it will go oilbrushers from MIG.. Then Ill fit decals and gloss varnish again,,,? Did I forget or miss something? Any special thinner or something like that?? :)
@@martinklimacek6671 In my opinion this sounds good :) but you are using a different method than me. You are using the hairspray method and I never done this. So i am no expert in this method. In this video, i painted the chips directly on the model :)
I see,, you just using acrylic (or oil) + brush,, I wasnt sure about layers and their order :) ,, Many thanx,, I hope, my sub will be nice at least 20% as yours :D
Hey ho...it`s me again ... Kurze Frage: was für Draht verwendest Du für die Seile? Was hast Du für die Kondensatoren verbaut? Ich steh gerade an dem Punkt, wo ich meine alte Methode nicht mehr anwenden möchte ... eigentlich wollte ich gerade den Primer anbringen... aber da feht doch noch was ^^ Für n Kurzen Tip verbeuge ich mich virtuell 🙂 und wie immer, DANKE für Deine tollen Videos !
Hey ja klar kein Thema, und ich habe damals Messing Draht verwendet, aber diesen Draht mittlerweile ausgetauscht gegen Rigging von Ammo mig. Ich habe dazu auch noch ein Video gemacht, falls du es dir anschauen willst, dort wird auch eine verbesserte Schaumtechnik für das Wasser vorgestellt. :) Für die Kondensatoren habe ich eine Putty ähnliche Knetmasse verwendet ☺️
I just bought this model and came across your ace videos of building - and especially weathering - it. Can't start to say how impressed I am with your work. This will be a great help as I try to get my own one built. One question, if you don't mind, that I have after watching this is that you seem to have a book as sort of a guide in the 'Creating Chips' section. What book is that? I'm looking for some guides on how to weather/chip etc so any recommendations is greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I really appreciate it! And I wish you much success and fun with this model! ☺️ The book is called Adam's Armour: Volume 2 by Adam Wilder who is one of the Most famous and best Armour modelers. As the title already suggests it is a book about building armour models such as tanks, but it has many great techniques that can be applied to many other areas of model making ☺️
@@ModeliteDiorama Thank you very much - both for the encouraging words and the book title/recommendation. I'll make sure to get hold of a copy. Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff in the future!
Your weathering seems a little bit excessive. The boats underwent regular maintenance between patrols. I’m afraid boatswain would be courtmartialed for such a negligence. Algae growth in Northern Atlantic’s cold waters would also be limited. Is there a reason your anchor is upside down?
Thank you for your comment :). And yes you are right, the weathering ist excessive but as I wrote in the description, my primary goal was to build a heavily weathered "Das Boot" instead of 100% correctness. I hope this will not end up at the court-martial :D. And the anchor is a mistake :D.
Great build! You may want to turn the anchor 180deg, as I think you placed it the wrong way up. Love Das Boot, one of my favourite movies. Hard to believe it is over 40 years old now!!
Thank you very much and yes it is a mistake, I plan to fix ☺️. And yes it's one of my favorite movies too. An anti-war movie that demonized war just by giving an realistic picture of a submarine crew.
EXCELLENT Video mate you are a master on this no doubt! however, there are a few things you can improve: 99% of the time, the parts must be cut from the sprue and filed thoroughly as they suffer from flush or sink marks definitely the screws are one of these!. the anchor is upside down !
Thank you very much for your constructive criticism! 🤗 Actually you are not the first one that mentioned the upside down anchor and I already fixed it 😃
Thank you very much for your kind words. And actually I did not apply a clear coat in the end but it is recommend to apply a mat coat to project the paintjob against damages and UV-rays 🤗
Hello, I did Not use any digrams. I just looked for reference pictures and tried to implement the whole thing as realistically as possible by feel. At that time I did not have a model rigging, which is why I used wire, but today I would recommend you to use such a rigging product for the rigging ☺️
Thank you very much :), I really appreciate it! For the weathering, I used just some cheap oil paints :). It is only important to have some color variations for highlights and shadows, like a dark green and a light green for the algae effect
Hello ☺️, thank you for your comment ☺️. For the algae, I just used cheap oil paints. It does not matter too much, which colors you use. You just need a darker and a lighter green oil paint to recieve some color variation and depth :)
Hallooo :), ich habe für die Chips die Farben benutzt, die ich auch in der Airbrush benutzt habe, damit sie übereinstimmen und sonst habe ich nur normale Ölfarben und Ammo Mig dark Wash und rust and streaking effects benutzt. Oder meinst du etwas anderes? :)
@@DerAbenteurer94 Ah achso, da habe ich Tamiya Farben benutzt, XF 1 Flat black, XF12 JN Grey und XF24 Dark grey. Es gibt aber vermutlich noch ein besser passendes Grau als das japanische, was ich benutzt habe :D
@@ModeliteDiorama Danke für die Nennung. Aktuell bin ich auch an der Alterung meines U 96 Modells dran und hab auch fast die gleichen Farben benutzt, wie du sie im Kommentar genannt hast. Dabei nutzte ich traditionell Revell Farben.. 😊 Matt 9 Anthrazit fürs Deck und den Turm, Matt 47 Mausgrau für den Rumpf und Matt 75 als Basis für die Deckalterung bevor das Anthrazit drauf kam.... Zum Schluss wird auch noch bisschen dezent Rost aufgemalt werden.... Ein wenig Seewasser Abnutzung möcht ich auch aufs Unterschiff dann folglich aufmalen, vll etwas weniger prägnant wie du es gemacht hast... 😊😁
I am buying 2 set of this model kit while I am at business trip to Germany last years . But until now still not build this model kit because of....... Lazy😅😂
@@ModeliteDiorama Hallo servus aus Aschaffenburg 😊ich mein die Antennen welche längs über das ganze Boot vorn und hinten verlaufen inklusive deren Befestigung. 😁
@@DerAbenteurer94 Ah achso okay, verstehe :). Die habe ich mit Messingdraht gemacht, da ich nichts anderes zur Verfügung hatte. Ich würde aber jetzt richtige "Rigging-Produkte" empfehlen, die man im Internet kaufen kann :)

@@ModeliteDiorama Hallo . Das Lied was ab der siebten Min läuft , das suche ich .

@@Flow1267 Haha oh man, eigentlich ist das Video und die Beschreibung auf Englisch, aber durch automatische UA-cam Übersetzung kommt das daraus. Das Lied heißt the climb von Scott Buckley also nicht die Besteigung 😂
Hello ☺️, most frequently I use Mr Hobby Cement s. It's a very thin, fast drying glue which dont get messy. To attach things I use Revell contacta pro and normal super glue ☺️
@@Anton10112 No, it is not hard. The only thing that might be a bit more difficult is the screw construction and the rigging if you want to display that too.
Thank you for your comment :). But I used the submarine from the movie as reference and there the emblem is in the same place as my model. I think the original U-96 has the emblem further forward on the turret but I wanted to represent the film version ☺️
Good evening. Excellent job first of all! I got this model as present from my wife and since I haven't tried this for more than 20 years, this is basically my first assembly! I have a few questions: 1. What material did you use for the capacitors? I am thinking of creating the cord out of thread not wire. You think this would work? 2.For the painting, since I do not own an airbrush, I bought the basic colors in spray cans. Any suggestion? 3. For the weathering I think I will buy Revell's 6-piece weathering set for the rust mostly. 4. In 18:19 how do you wipe this black wash? Thank you in advance for your reply and thank you for your video!
Hello, Thank you very much for your kind words! :) And nice, I wish you much success with this great model! 1. Yes, I think this should work. But there are also great rigging products available like the rigging from Ammo Mig. For the capacitors, I used a glue mass similar to a putty mass. 2. Yes, please use the cans only outside with a respirator and since these cans give off a lot of paint within a short time period, you should feel your way and always spray only briefly and evenly, and it is better to spray onto the model from too far away at first than to apply too much paint directly and too close. 3. Ah nice, but this weathering set consists of pigments. I personally would start with acrylic paints for the chipping and rust and washes first. I think this would be easier. :) 4. I think I used a cotton swab or a normal cloth. Since the washes need a long time to dry, it worked that way. Otherwise, you can also use enamel thinner to distribute or remove too much wash. :)
When I was a flight student in the Naval Aviation Training Command 50 years ago, one of my fellow student's father was the sailor who jumped aboard the U-505 and shut off the scuttle valve that the German crew had opened to sink the boat. It was saved and we can now see it in Chicago. I've been on board. I think it is a Type VII boat. Very neat.
Great work on the boat from one of the greatest movies of all time!!
Thank you very much ☺️. And yes, I absolutely love this film too!
