Re: Type XXIII
Fun fact: This class was the smallest of the "real" German submarine types. A Type VII C was twice as long.

Re: Type XXIII
Very nice Gary. The extra detailing will certainly pay off.
Like Woody I have been wanting to build a dock scene , but not with a monster like this.

Really great work on this. The extra scratch-building is taking it to a whole new level.
I am book marking this project, going to be very useful for my one. I am slowly collecting stuff for a dockside diorama. Italeri docksides (which are very nice), U-Models figures, a couple of AFV Club trucks, still looking for some buildings and a crane that will fit the scene.
This would work for a dock scene. Its discontinued on the Mina Art site, but you can still find them.
Or this

That Workshop looks good. I wasn't looking for something with that depth. But looking at it, i think it could be cut down the roof centre line and made into a longer building. Hmmmm.....the thought wheels are turning

Re: Type XXIII
Which Dora kit did you get? Is it the SOAR ART kit?
If you don't want a full building just scratch one using cork. It really is not hard.

Re: Type XXIII
Yeah, that big Soar Art kit. It weighs in at around 25kg's I had better start it soon if i want to finish it in my lifetime
Yeah, i should investigate scratchbuilding a building. I might be able to utilise some of the miniart kits that just have all the windows, doors and other building fixtures?

Re: Type XXIII
Having just seen this build in the flesh, the kit is a monster. A dockside scene with this as the centerpiece would need a room of its own for display!

Re: Type XXIII
A 1/35 Dora
Did a crazy person say they had one, and was going to try and build it
I always thought they were like vintage cars, you bought them, looked at them for a few years, then sold them on for massive profit
I don't know if this will be A HELP OR HINDRANCE
"Dora build"
You are the MAN
sorry Gary
