In the director's commentary on the DVD of "Das Boot"they talk about filming with model ships - filming in slow motion to make the water look right.

Hi Don, I think your solution to the break in the breakwater, along the rear margin planks, is the only practical one, so that will be the way I go also. When I originally opted to reshape the moveable deck I calculated the join along the front edge of the margin plank, but a small shift of 1mm isn't going to show, unless you tell on me!
I too am an admirer of Peter Beisheim's model, the distressed look being integral to it's success. I've always planned to give my model what our American friends like to call a 'pre-used' look, but rather than paint that look in as I go along I'm going to wait until near the end of assembly.

Agree with distressing later on, in my case no problem, as the way my model is having to be handled it is getting distressed all by itself!!!! ;D ;D ;D

I am now adding the stern superstructure brass cladding, using Evostik Impact glue (so much nicer to work with than superglue, also gives you a chance to align things!)   |

I used the photos of Peter Benheims excellant model for my catapaults, if you have not seen his model, then make sure that you do, it is brilliant, especially seeing that it is all scratch built to the same scale as us!
The main decking is 1mm wide strips of lime, as per the upper decks. Have still to cut in for the various deck fittings.
