Hello.

Main gun turrets now glued permanently.
Prototype masts dry fitted. Some boats built and panted.

Hello.

Slowly building superstructures and painting the sea again and again. Looks stormy now but it is North Sea.

-"This week I have been mostly chopping wood".

Good morning!

I made the sea from wall filler painted with acrylics.

Searcligth platforms are made of plastic and rails are paper.

Torpedo net is a thin rope.

Have a nice weekend!

Still slowly building this one.

I think I did good with turrets. Guns were shortened to L45 from L50. Deck looks too dark before washes.

Derfflinger is lurking behind.

I was throwing this build away, when Combrig launched theirs. But, mine has a deck with ending blanks and she will be as 1916. There are differences in forward funnel and bridge area. :cool_1:

It has been a long time since my last update. I`m a very slow modeller.
But there has been some progress.

Sorry. Not much "howto" here. No Time! I think I should start posting to the work in progress.

Hull is almost complete.

Hello!

The model will be in 1/350 scale and ready just before some big manufacturer announces theirs...

Me and my family had a holiday in Spain so nothing new. The weather was cool enough to keep us happy. Mexico was too hot...(It was cheap, fantastic and safe when me and my to wife-to-be went there)

To the model. I´m going to build the hull casemate "walls" as solids from sheet plastic layered to proper thickness(is that english?).
One can bend plastic strips about million times to do this, but as to me this is some kind of a test build I´m going the fast way.

It has been a pleasure to see that this has been a interesting subject.

Looking good, mifune! :thumbs_up_1:

I always wanted to see how scaling down a card model & using plastic would work out. I'll be following this one with interest!
