The Enemy Below 6/4/2020

Well after a day off from the workbench, I'm back at it with some further detail of the USS England, plus a peak at my initial contemplation for a diorama.  But first an artists view of the England:

The Hedgehog projector launching 24 contact rounds.  The ship carries 144 rounds total so it can do this six times.  I would not want to be in a Sub  in close proximity to this "Bad Boy".

I have a piece of spongy foam packing I am going to use as my ocean base.  Here I am setting the DE and half the Type VII-C on the foam.  I have room for a Diorama!!

Cut out for the DE!

I can introduce a list if I wish!  But, let's get back to completing the DE before getting carried away with this diorama business.

Note the start of adding the PE stack ring.  Also note to the left the addition of the first pieces of railing to the bridge area.

Here you can see the stack platform with the ladder added, the bridge railings and even the completion of the 20MM AA behind the stack.  You may also notice that I have given the deck a gray wash as I found this to be the look of the USS Haynes in the movie footage.  To reiterate, my diorama will be an homage to The Enemy Below, so I am doing what I can within the constraints of the kit to make the DE look as much like the fictitious USS Haynes as much as possible.  

That is all for today.
