U-BOOT TYP VII C - 1/38 (minifig) scale with full interior.
~ 177 CM (~70 INCH) LONG
~ 15.000 PARTS
~ 4.5 YEARS OF WORK
GOALS
The model was supposed to represent a ship from the initial period of the war.
It does not show a specific copy, but it should resemble uboots such as U-69 or U-96 (known from the classic Das Boot movie).
I wanted to get a fairly good representation of both the curves of the hull and as many pieces of internal equipment as possible.
MODEL CHARACTERISTICS
It consists of 6 modules that naturally represent the 6 sections of a real ship:
1. The forward torpedo room and crew compartment [Bow: ~ 3600 parts]
2. Officers', radio and listening room [Front mess: ~ 2000 parts]
3. Control room with conning tower [Control room: ~ 2700 parts]
4. Petty Officers' romm and galley [Rear mess: ~ 1700 parts]
5. Diesel engines room [Diesels: ~ 2400 parts]
6. Electric engines and aft torpedo room [Stern: ~ 2800 parts]
In each module, the port and / or starboard can be removed.
So the entire model can represent the ship from the outside or with an open interior.
The target configuration is with the starboard closed and the port open.
I finally made two photo sessions of the entire model - in a fully closed configuration and with a closed starboard and open port side.
Adittionally I have prepared presentation of individual modules separately.
[CONSTRUCTION]
The construction was planned to be made in sections and I started from the control room.
Each module was first designed in LDD (first the hull, then the interior) and then built in reality.
The modules were created in this order:
3. Control room
2. Front mess
1. Bow
4. Rear mess
5. Diesels
6. Stern
Designing started on 26.12.2017.

I invite you to view photos.
I'm sorry that there are so many, but I couldn't resist.
(it took me about 3 months to photograph and post-process them)

Anybody want to hazard a guess?
(No, the tags won’t help you out in your guesses….. grin)
As it turns out the other side of the sign made it clear.
This is definitely a ‘just because’ sort of shot.
Tim and I walked to Southsea Castlefield today to see what was for sale at a the car boot. We didn't buy anything but it was a nice morning out. This pirate and his artwork caught my eye.
Boot Butte is a popular spot just outside of Bigtown, where the residents flock on summer weekends to climb the area's most challenging cliff face.
This is another scene in my whimsical miniature Living Large series, in which 1/64-scale figures interact with everyday, life-size objects, just for fun. Check out the whole collection in the Living Large album on my Flickr main page.

This photo was taken during a trip to search for Colima Warblers at Big Bend National Park. Couldn't resist clicking a few shots of the view!
Every now and again I like to give myself a boot check just to make sure I haven't worn them out yet (lol). I was of course fully booted in my thigh high boots whilst this check was being performed.
Thanks as always from Gemma. xxx.
I don't post many Boot selfies but here is one for all the boot lovers and admirers out there in lovely Flickrland. Thanks from Gemma. xxx.
The old sailing boat moored in the harbor of Alicante / Spain and is now rebuilt as Discotek, really cool there
All my life I've lived in the country, and seen a lot to things that would probably be construed as "redneck." I've seen some peculiar stuff even capped down over fence posts, but I don't think I've ever seen a cowboy boot on one. For several weeks I've noticed this one as I went to church, so yesterday I decided to get a shot of it.

Das Boot or in English - "The Boat" is a nickname for the legendary Deltics due to their 2 Napier marine engines that power the locomotive.

Old boot found on a mountain wall - Looked like it had been there for some time, just the one though...
