Hi guys. Just wanted to show you my latest painting effort. It's still missing the iron cross at the neck since it was missing in the box and Andrea have a slow service I'm afraid. Anyway, hope you like it.

Stephen,
nicely done! I've never noticed the seahorse on the cap before. What does it represent, do you know?

Superb painting, as always Stephen! Very well done. I particularly like the plaid shirt and the way you painted the cap.

What's with the "whatever-it-is" on the left middle sleeve seam? ?

All the best,
Dan

Hola Jaume. Thanks my friend. I'm afraid I won't make it to Athens cause i have to go to MFCA. I suppose we meet again at Euro, right?

Thanks Dan. What you see there is a rip in the seam with an amateur 'repair' evident.

Hi Stephen...superb painting mate...hope the missing part arrives soon...

The emblem could refer to U-267 - Type VIIC Commissioned: Jul 11 1942 Fate: Scuttled Date: May 4 1945

See here http://www.uboataces.com/ref-insignia.shtml for some background info...I know nothing about the subject by the way, but it's amazing what info you can turn up.

All the best...Roy.
