[quote="Guest"]Hello Bento, my Name is Ralf, Im a german so you have to excuse my horrible english... :wave_1: May I ask you some questions about your marvelous "Pinguin", Schiff33? :thumbs_up_1: I want to realise the 1/700 Modell of that ship from HP-Models. And I think I´ll take the same paragon - the Greek steamer "Kassos" - which is shown at the foto. Do you have any informations about the used colours? Do you know, what paragon the germans did use to know how to paint their raiders? I have been in Flensburg at the library of the Navy School in Mürwick to look for some informations about that. I found the "Gröner" which became a prescription in the German navy at 1938 and I think it was the main source of informations about merchant ships for the Kriegsmarine. But I am not sure... But there are no informations about the colours in this book, do You have anything about that?? In the book "Gespensterkreuzer HK 33 Hilfskreuzer PINGUIN auf Kaperfahrt", Jcohen Brenecke is talking about some "shipcards" which Krüder is using to get the right paragones for his camouflage. But nobody knows something about this cards. For the first is Brenecke not the best source for those things and for the second could it be interesting to know what Kpt. Krüder had had to know to paint his ship in the right way... So we have to know, what he did know, I think... Also the Marine DV Nr. 601, which is the final rapport of the raid of "Pinguin", is not talking about colours... Another question: You show us the link to Tone welldone page and his splendid plans - thanks Tone for that! - but I cant find a plan about the "Spantenriss" - I dont know the english word. It is the plan of ships dimension seen from the front or the back... I have one from the "Altlantis" . They were sisters, but perhaps you know mare here too?? Once in the future, I want to build the Ship i 1:100. Them I think I need a Spantenriss... I would be very thankful, I you could help... =-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------= [b]EDIT by Jim Baumann[/b] >> SPANTERISS in English is referred to as: ' HULL LINES' sometimes Hull line drawings/ plans Hope to Help JIM Baumann[/quote]

Re: Shiff33 Pinguin 1/400 scale

I know this thread is old but I have a question about painting decks. It appears the model was constructed raw, with the vertical posts connecting decks. Later shots reveal a cleanly painted deck. How does one paint around those small vertical bits of plastic? It would seem to me that airbrushing would be difficult, due to the need to carefully mask the deck and the obstruction of the posts to the spray pattern of the paint. Were the decks hand painted?

Thanks!

It will take a while (1/100 scale!) but my father will post the pictures as soon as he is done.

Greetings from Germany

Re: Shiff33 Pinguin 1/400 scale

Hello bento,

very well made model. My father is interested in building the Pinguin for a famous German Naval museum. Do you know by any chance where to get a more detailed plan (especially the sheer plan / profile). Could he call you, since he has no internet and is more interested in ships than computers (maybe a wise choice?).

Greetings from Bremerhaven, Germany

Splendid work! Great entity, everything seems very "finished"; weather subtile and not too much, excellent colouring and of course nice structural work too! A museum piece which covers the working life of a merchant ship very well! :thumbs_up_1:

Most impressive! It's so detailed that it makes it hard to believe the scale is 1:400.

Re: Shiff33 Pinguin 1/400 scale

Thanks Bill! I also appreciate very much your models! They are very clean. The sea reproduction is also a great work, I',m surely not able to do the same..
ps. when I write so bad English, it means my wife is not at home....
