                See attached photo of the port bow from distance. The rest of the U-boat hull below the water line has been treated the same way.

                That concludes this weeks update.  Next week I will touch in any areas with dark grey pin wash if required then varnish the complete hull to seal all of that work in. Tomorrow I will be ordering some pastels; white for salt streaks and black for the exhaust ports, aiming to get these completed, including a coat of varnish to seal them, next week too.    Rust effects I will add at a later date.  Thanks for looking in, have a great weekend and happy modelling.   Regards, Phil W.

                That's an excellent representation of algae you have achieved there Phil, I think you've got it just right, it looks a perfect colour and the whole effect looks perfectly in scale with the rest of the model.
  Very impressive - well done that man!!
