U-96 build Das Boot uhu02 build

[doctormax]

In the last few hours after my latest build i have started on the U-96 by uhu02 So far I have liminated a few parts to cardboard and will take photos when the camera battery recharges. till then i am just mainly going to be laminating parts to card anyway so its going to take a day anyway to have them parts done before make any real progress on the build.

Hi doctormax,

cool, i downloaded the model as well but i'm still hesitant to print the parts. The main reason is, that the instructions come in japanese (which i don't understand) but the scale is also a "bit too much" for my small quarters here (1:100).

As you're writing a report on this model, the problem of the japanese instructions might become less of an obstacle and i might try building U-96 as well, referring to your experience here.

Thank you in advance and "happy assembling"

Kind regards

Lars

It should help really it seems i was right about the laminate the parts for the skeleton as he calls them i figure its his way of saying formers really
I think in fact he printed skeleton parts on that sticker label paper if my translator is giving me the correct lowdown

I tried google-translation but most of the results were... confusing and wrong. But that's for the german translation, maybe english works better.

I hope, in any case, the pics in the instructions are helpful. The rest will "come by instinct", as we're all modelers here

Looking forward to your experience with "Das Boot".

Good luck

I said this with no national pride intended. I would use Google Translate from Japanese, to English, then from English to German. Only because "Ich spreche Deutsche etwas", and have found that Google Translate does not work from German to Spanish (which I speak rather well),and sometimes have to do a go-around. I personally never use Uhu "words", just the pictures.

Hello all,
I also downloaded this beautiful model.
... and I wanted to build it myself! But I would have other projects.
The Japanese language is definitely a handicap!
On the other hand there is copious amount of pictures that relate to assembly step by step of the model.
It is known that a picture is worth a thousand words.

To all, Good Construction.

Not only is a picture worth a thousand words, it also doesn't need
any translation!
