Luftwaffe survival ..

Your skills are impressive

Thanks all ..!

My next try is a smoke pot.
The one in the pic in the black circle.
The pic shows one, but the large boats actually had 2 of these.
It's about 25 cm x 8 cm, which means that my version is 4 cm x 1.4 cm.
At the bottom of the pot there's a frame with 2 handles to hold the pot outside the boat, cause they get hot and seem to drip.

The labels of all these items are later concern, first the making.

SUPERB, the quality and attention to detail is simply stunning!!! Will you do some day a 1/6 cutaway cockpit of a Me-109, FW-190 or one of the many used by the Luftwaffe?...with your magnificent craftmanship, it will be masterpiece in accuracy and detail.

There're too many items which I still want and have to make, so no room for other plans..

I've finished the O2 bottle for the boat.
Enjoy..

Just kidding!

Great work and excellent craftmanship!

I've my work and the grand kids etc .., but during the weekends and sometimes in the evening I do some modelling ..
Important thing is to have a plan and good/much pictures of the object.
Problem is to make it right from the start, sometimes I've to back to the drawing board.
To me this is fun and to see if I can make it possible with the stuff I've.

The making of the boat ..
Old disposable rain coat and some isolation foam tubes ..

It's a 3 meter long boat which equals 50 cm in 1/6.
I use a RLM sheet of the boat which I scaled to 1:1, the sheet is a bit smaller, might be 48 cm, but that's OK.
