Cleaning out some old boxes and found this from back in the day. Around 1995 I think. All scratchbuilt.
Want to see more? I want to check before I scan all these pics as it's a lot of brain power that I don't have much of any more.

Supposed to be a late war TypeIX.
J

YES I do.
Actually got a carcass of a tower and part of the hull to finish. would love to see more of your one!

Here ya go Steven

Jerry-- very nice! You scratch built this one.....Do you do brain surgery in your spare time.

Well done
DJ

Thanks DJ,
Another one

That's incredible. Do you still have it somewhere? And all scratch built... Unbelievable. Except I wouldn't put it past you! Love it.

Very impressive, at 1st glance I thought it was the Andrea's resin kit. Well done. Al

Of course!

I love das Boot! ... Nice one!

—mike

Wow, Jerry, that's a great show, very impressive.
I do indeed like a lot those dioramas and doing the Uboat from scratch!, thanks for showing

Claude

I just saw that on Boogaloo models group on FB a few weeks ago and ment to ask you about it. Then I forgot. Typical. It's really well done, Jerry.

Thanks guys,means a lot. I don't have it any more. I built it for the old owner of Combat Models,John Rucks and he passed away. I don't know what his widow did with it.
These are better pics.

Hi Jerry,

This is EXCELLENT WORK!

What scale is this in?....1:35?

Cheers,
Joe

Yup,all in 1/35 scale. Modified figs with warriers heads. I hadn't discovered Hornet yet!!
Thanks,
J

SUPER! and THANKS for the info.

Cheers,
Joe

Hey Jerry,

I knew you were an outstanding figure modeler, but I had no idea how good of a scratchbuilder you are. A little worried to see so much naval stuff from a paratrooper, but I guess ships might be a diversion from the hooah stuff.

This is outstanding and quite impressive. Thanks for showing us your older projects.

Cheers,
James

I can only concur with James! Thanks for digging up these older projects and let us be part of your "earlier" work!

Highly impressive to say the least! Superb scratchbuild and (yet again) brilliant "human factor"!!

You are the man Sir!!! Big congratulations!!

Cheers

Romain

P.S.: and who says a paratrooper is not allowed to build ships!!

Love this U-Boat scene- top class scratchbuilding Jerry- it really looks the part and it is nicely populated with figures.

Hi Jerry,

Really excellent work, I like this a lot, nice one.

Al

Thanks Guys,means a lot to read all of your nice comments. I know all of that stuff on the conning tower plus the snorkel would have been retracted or stowed but I wanted to show all of it. Artistic license I suppose.

One of my antique builds (from the mid 90s). Hans may find it interesting. it is supposed to be a Type IX C. I think. It has been a while.

Keep it those pics in a safe place! That U-boat is a masterpiece, can't believe it's scratch built. Amazing!

WOW!! Phenomenal work! just might inspire me to pull out one of my 3 ship kits (one is a U-boat) and get to work

You know i do ,

That sub looks great! My late German grandmother worked in Mannheim Germany at the factory that made the diesel-electric motors that went in the U-Boats.

...and the same applies to me...who says an Air Force guy is not allowed to build 1/35 armor!!
