Any advice welcome.
Still to paint the crew.
Also going to gloss varnish the water.

Very nice, Scratchbuilt or a kit? :)

Scratchbuilt. Plastic card and pink foam.

That is a nice submarine that is
:D

Nice job!
Is that a rawlplug you've used for the gun mount? Exellent idea. :)

Well spotted, I was thinking the same... :)

A new U-Boat on the LAF, like a new baby, is always a joyous moment. We should have a gallery page with everybody's U-Boats in it.
Just a friendly suggestion (as you did ask for advice), but I reckon a baby as big as that needs a proper deck gun in addition to the Ack-Ack on the Wintergarten. She looks kind of undressed without one. :)

I wasn’t sure about adding a deck gun. The sub is for use in a pulp game and the guys I play with are all gun happy. Always trying to get the biggest and baddist gun out there. Even when the scenario I have made up calls for a lot of brain power they still complain when their character hasn’t got a SMG.
One of the last games I ran there was an elephant gun strategically placed for an encounter with a Stegosaurs but they ended up fighting over the elephant gun instead.
If there was a big gun on the sub it would be a mad rush to see who would be the first to fire it.
Even with the smaller 20 mm I think I will have to limit the amount of ammo or it will take over the game.
I also based the sub on a type II shore boat and they did not seem to have a large deck gun. In fact most of the pictures I found the sub didn’t have any gun at all.
I found one reference quoting a 20 mm AA gun so that is what I built. But it is only going to be pinned in place and movable between the conning tower and the deck. Leaving space for a HUGE BIG DECK GUN. :D
It is a pulp sub so there will be a large deck gun at a later stage, to keep all the big gun nuts happy. :D
But I am not making any torpedoes. lol

Good point about the Type II. Your boat looks like a massive sub in comparison to other gaming ones, but in reality it is representing something of a tiddler, isn't it. :)
But come on, if you can make that, you gotta make some fish...

(Just watch your players fighting over these, and trying to launch them at a T-Rex!)
And a submerged version...

Taken from this topic, nowhere near as impressive as yours, as my boat was a kit:

Seen your great (wee lol) one before that is what inspired me to try my hand at my own.
I think I can blame you for a lot of other ideas I have. Tramp steamers etc

Very, very nice :-*

Very very nice!
Now you have to do a second set of crew, this time in tropical uniform (shorts etc)'
You know, you don't know where your pulp adventures will be played!
-
Excellent job - hard to believe it's scratchbuilt until the last pic.
-
Remarkable!! Great looking figures. I like the torpedoes and the submerged sub too. The best of all is the sub itself. Can you provide more details on the materials and steps you used to make such a masterpiece? Thanks a bunch for sharing.

I posted a how too in the Workbench

Who does tropical uniform U boat crew? I have seen them somewhere but not sure where?
-
Brigade Games do them in their Ends of the Earth range, along with some non-tropical ones.

Can never get direct links to pages on the Brigade Games site to work, so I'm afraid you'll have to have a nose around on your own to find them. :)
