Well i'm glad you only did a 'basic' build and didn't decide to make a Graf Spee that looks frickin' awesome or anything Quality! I'd dread to think how good a build is that you've "tried" on

Nice job. The deck looks really good and makes the rest of your handy work pop!

I know that this thread is somewhat dated but I'm hoping that David will catch it and answer a simple question regarding this awesome build.
I have been fascinated by the Graf Spee ever since I was a young lad and saw the movie 'Battle of the River Plate".
I love this build David and I intend to try and duplicate your efforts so I hope you can help by answering this question.
Oh, one last thing, does anyone know how David does his seascapes? They look awesome as well!
Thanks for posting this step-by-step!

Uff, I am very sorry, but I forgot totally for this topic Graf Spee is finished several months already and here is final photo. More soon in the gallery Attachment:
Spee small.jpg [ 96.95 KiB | Viewed 1987 times ]
To Jim B : Coronel Plate - I used water based paint (Vallejo) applied by brush and after drying I rub the extra paint on newspapers (any rough paper will work). It works with any kind of paint (enamle, acryl, lacquer), but water based paints have really poor adhesion on PE, so this was my choice.

sweet! Really sweet! Nice blue/brown streaking filter on the hull. The ship´s crest comes as a decal?

Very nice, clean and sharp build! How did you highlight the letters of the *Coronel* plate? Painted and then pared the paint off the letters so that they appear in brass again?
Happy modelling ~ Olaf!

Hi David, very good modelmaking as usual Gentleman this is a quickbuild! I really would like to know what happens when David take some time to add more details By the way two questions. Is the crest at Spees bow handpainted? Is the Ar 96 canopy a PE part or only a really good paint job? Looking forward to some more progress!

Thanx a lot! I really did not care, but to be honest, sometimes I have temptation to add something more or correct some mistake... Time to resist! For example I did not find anywhere useable black "hakenkreuz" for Arado - so I used white one. Or I did not find any good 8m boat, so I used IJN 7m and 9m boats from Fine Molds . Works on Arado and boats: Attachment:
