Harvey Low
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Don’t look for a 1/72 scale kit of USS S-44 in any hobby store. Harvey scratchbuilt the 1920s vintage sub, vacuum-forming the hull in styrene and using wood for most other details. To finish it as it appeared in 1943 in the Southwest Pacific, he layered dark gray and black acrylics. “Black is the hardest color to do!” he said. He weathered the boat with artist-oil washes and enamel filters.
