Military Modelling 1994-11


It is difficult to say when I became hooked on submarines, but one thing is certain: it was many, many years ago. My friendship with Baldomero Saiz is also an old one. He is one of those people in love with submarines too, the real tiling or models, and he is an expert on a subject he has studied for many years. He is also a superb modeller, able to achieve any project regardless of complexity - and producing a U-Boat conning tower was to become a complex project! With so much riding on the project, it became clear that we at Andrea Miniatures would undertake the challenge of manufacturing a definitive study of a German U-Boat conning tower in 1:32 scale, considered the 'original' model soldier scale and still compatible, in any case, with 1:35 scale models and figures imposed upon everyone by the Japanese plastic kit industry. It took a year to see develop and produce the model, for which a special team was constituted for the project, involving the production of parts in the most diverse materials. A quality 'second to none' was required, which became a nightmare for Raul Gomez, the production manager at Andrea Studios.
