Final weathering begins, sponging on some brown to represent worn paint

Yes, I saw that. I’ve left that section alone until do the weathering, I’m crap at decals too, so I’ll rectify that too. I do appreciate the stear, it’s easy to lose track

Cool! How long did it take for one to grunge up one’s hull?

Yea, that’s what I’m aiming for thanks

Great document but U9 was pre ww1. I’m happy to make it up

Getting there. I’m happy so far

So some more alge (I’ve read accounts of these first war German subs, they’d park on shallow sea floors, so I reckon they’d pick up some grunge.
the whole bottom hull given a colour Le of layers of green slime then thinned off.

The bulk of the hull will be underwater (go figure, it’s a sub). I know it will be Manky, and I found this image of a ww1 sub in drydock with a green slime hull. So that’s what I’m going to sim for. Nearly every shot you see of ships in drydock they have already been cleaned off.

@Ponto the voids are part of the chipping process, I’m just not sure if it’s excessive. I still need to do washes and filters yet.

So stencils so much better than decals

I just fell across this image, a watercolour from 1946, a perfect end

So the second last part of the build arrived today in the form of a ww1 postcard of U-9 for the base from a German bookseller. These were widely produced to celebrate war heroes

Pretty much done. I need to patiently wait on the mail for a few things now. I painted the wire handrails grey and rusted them slightly and added a flag from a different set which is much nicer than the kit one.

Fresh off the boat from Micromaster in NZ, one of the final pieces of the puzzle, a deck cannon. References say there was one after 1915 😊
