Op deze pagina ziet u diverse waterdiorama's met (voor de meeste) Duitse U-boote. Vooral de schaal 1:144 is een mooie schaal voor deze boten. De boten (meestal Revell) zijn goed gedetailleerd en kunnen gemakkelijk in een diorama worden geplaatst.

On this page you see several water dioramas with  (for most) German U-boote.

Especially Scale 1:144 is a great scale for these boats. The boats (mostly Revell) are well detailed and can be put easily in a diorama.

Veilige haven/ Save harbor (1:350!) 

I've never tried this small scale but it has the advantage to make "bigger"dioramas . It measures 44-27 centimeter (in reality it would be 150-95 meter!). The pen (or bunker) is like a viewing box and has lightning inside so you can see what is happenning in there (and the big U-boat bunkers were really small villages on their own).

Onderzeeër Typhoon klasse/ Russian Submarine Typhoon class (1:400) 

After building the 1:350 uboot bunker I got the hang of it and made a new diorama with this modern and the biggest submarine ever build the Russian Akulia (more know  "Typhoon class').
