Das Boot, Figures and Gun Deck. Finished.

Das Boot

WWII German U-boat Crew on the Gun Deck
120mm Resin Scale Kit, Sculpted and Designed by Jeff Shiu

All figures painted in oils over an acrylic base. Flag and rigging were scratch built along with added deck seats, signal light power cable, and cable system rigging.

Jeff Shiu has an incredible ability to make figures work well together to create a very convincing scenario. This was a difficult set to work with, but once the prep work was completed the entire scene fell right into place nicely.

Cheers, Ski.

Very NICE! You need to bring it to Wonderfest next June and show all the figure painters that these are in some ways much better than all the fantasy figures that they do.

Thanks, Buddy!

Thank you! Ya, I can't seem to cross that divide, but some of those painters put me back in "Candy Stripers" dress. Not very many are oilers, but the acrylic addicts are crazy incredible, to say the least.

Thank you, Gents!

Off to the next set,...........

Lol, thanks, Paddy. You know we are our own worst critic, but that ain't so bad.
