15 mm 1930s Waterline US and German submarines?
« on: January 10, 2023, 06:20:59 AM »
Any affordable models suitable for 15 mm (1:96 to 1:120) for both a German and American waterline submarine circa 1935?

Or, any good templates for scratch building either nation's waterline submarine?

Doesn't have to be highly detailed, more for 'set decoration' for a scenario.

Thank you.

Great lead and very nice work.  How much trouble did you have turning the model into a water line sub?

Thanks.

If you check under Pulp you can see a box photo of a submarine I found today, USS Growler - 215 version, as a start point.  1:180 scale but it is a kit bash start point so it will still work.  Look for the Large Gorilla title with me as the OP.

Why don't you try 3d printing?
I have one at 1/72 scale for my underwater game

I may hunt around for a pre-printed 3D model if I can't find a suitable convertible model but I don't plan on buying a 3D printer for myself.  Don't have enough need/desire to have one - have more (a LOT more) than necessary to keep me busy until I go toes up some decades hence (well, hopefully!  lol). Only the odd piece here or there that I might need for a scenario.
