Oh Krakatoa !
Who are the next drawing to follow ?

The most demanding/annoying guy on the forum!

I wonder if he understands how he seems rude and demanding to the native English speakers here?

I must admit to having been a bit slack in finishing this series. I did get very sick during that period (lost 8kg/17pd, type sick). It sort of put me off SB for a while and I have slowly got back into drawing doing a few of the Atlantis kitbashes. I have half a dozen real life/never were projects to do, of which finishing the Schnellboots is first in line.

I can't say anything about Colomban Mike being rude, it was only 10 days or so ago that Colo asked me why I was so rude. At least when I am wrong I do apologise.

I wish you a good & full recovery

Thank you Mike, I have recovered now.

Hi,

with Krakatoas' kind permission I am posting my drawings of two S38 / S38b Schnellboote in this thread:




S-86 - call sign "Karo-Ass" (ace of diamonds) - was part of 2. Schnellbootflottille operating in the English Channel from Ijmuiden in early 1943.
It was a late S-38 class boat built by Lürssen (Vegesack) in 1942 and was still featuring an unarmored bridge.

After the war, it was taken over by the Soviet Navy as "TK-1009", where it served in the 4th (South Baltic) Fleet.
"TK-1009" was stricken in September 1950 and transfered for scrapping.

The boat and its' commander, Oblt.z.S. Hans-Joachim Wrampe, were featured in the propaganda movie "Asse zur See- Ein Filmbericht von unseren Schnellbooten (1943)".

S-69 - call sign "WK" (after the initials of its' commander Oblt.z.S. Walter Knapp)- was part of 8. Schnellbootflottille, that was also operating in the English Channel in 1943.

Built by Lürssen (Vegesack) in late 1941, it was already equipped with an armored bridge and a shielded 40mm Bofors.

It was taken over by the British in 1945 and was scrapped in 1947.

Cheers!

These versions look very good. Great work on the forward hull relief, great detail.
