Brisbane collector 'Ray' waited patiently for the release of a U Boat ... but only for so long. He made his own which will on display at the K&C Dinner in Brisbane in July.

:salute:::salute::
 
The U-Boat, dock, figures and vehicles all make for one enormous eye fest! Well done Ray, nice pic's once again Marc and thanks for posting Jack.

What a splendid diorama . I can see K&C, TGM, CS, Kronprinz figurines. They all fit perfectly together .
Well done , congrats
guy:)
 
On behalf of Ray (the builder) and Marc (Barneywomble/Photographer) thank you for stopping by. I am not sure about the bits and pieces but I do know that the dock is Italeri.
 
I have gone back to this thread a dozen times .... and I can't think of a word that describes how wonderful it is. Being very partial to submarines :rolleyes: I can't stop studying how expertly the U-Boat was built and weathered. As mentioned by Guy, all the figures work so well together.

Heck, I can smell the salt air and hear the cheers for the home coming crew on this one.

If I may inquire, what is the U-Boat construction material ... Polystyrene? / Wood? / Resin?

Okay ... time for ANOTHER look.

Super, super nice dio! {sm4}

Way to go...what a stunning piece. This is really excellent and I could almost be tempted to abandon my DAK/IF passion for this. Congratulations

The sub is made from mainly cardboard, but don't ask me how Ray did it as I think some black magic was involved........:wink2:
