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.

[b][CONSTRUCTION][/b]

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.

No staring at the clouds

I must stay on the ground

I must contain my views

There must be something else

There must be something good

"Boot..." / Boat..."

Date: 1990

Pair of leather men’s Chelsea boots with a winkle picker toe. Winkle pickers are a style of shoe or boot that came about in the 1950s and were predominately worn by British rock and roll fans used to develop a distinctive look of their own. They are famed for their extremely sharp and long toe and are often compared to or reminiscent of medieval footwear. The name winkle picker derives from the popular seaside snack ‘winkles’ that were eaten using a pin to remove the soft parts of the coiled shell which the phrase ‘to winkle something out’ is coined from. It is from this that winkle pickers became a humorous name for shoes that had an unusually looking pointed toe.

‘Repeat at bedtime “Point your shoes toward the street, tie your garters around your feet, put your stockings under your head, and you’ll dream of the one you’re going to wed.”’ (Emrich, D. The Folklore of Love and Courtship, 1970).
