canvas dodgers done ( primed with gloss primer for a smooth finish)
I used Evergreen sheet 0,13mm
The tracing paper looked promising it got some nice folds after i put some paint on it but when it started to dry up ..... it rolled it self up :idonno
I am very pleased with the result,nice and tight as it should be .
Only thing to do ......lightly sand them and spray some Schnellboot white on it, and attach it to the railing.
Glad this part is done.

That looks amazing.
Maybe the tracing paper would work better with ink?

There is another paper type that is a bit heavier called Vellum. It is translucent, just not as much as the tracing paper. It might have worked a bit better.
So far you have a great looking build. The evergreen seems to have done the job for you.

Thanks Piet,
I had been an avid follower of Fledermaus over at PlanetArmour on the Schnellboote.
He too did an awsesome job on the S Boote But you two are way better in detailing the boats.
I am going to detail the schnell but try and take the quick path because it's huge. :laugh:

Thanks Piet,
I see you have a few books there in the photo , could you please take a photo of all the books or let us know what books to get.
There are a few publications out there on the Schnell and it's pretty hard to work out which book would be the most valuale to your work.

Mike,
These are all i have on the Schnelloot at this moment.
For the most part they are full of pictures and operational/built/combat history books.
Some profiles but not much in the finer detail deparment.
So i was excited :woohoo: for the
Karego 3D super drawings,but a total waste of money.
The squadron signal revised version is a good one to start with .
(more pages and some line drawings )
And probebly easy to get .
If yo like realy big picture books this is a real nice one.
This is for me the best book if your into the combat history of the units in the channel and North sea
But it is in Dutch.
The rest are good standard publication with pictures and history , some are in german.
This is the old Squadron singnal.
Here a excellent German forum
