Hi there,
As promised, some pictures from my progressing 1:350 Baden.
The ICM K�nig hull was stretched by 13.5 mm at its widest point, and in the keel a 1.5 mm insert was added to get the required beam. Also, the docking keels were added and the shape of the bow was corrected: from the keel to the stem there is a distinct 'kink' at frame 134, which is totaly missing in the kit.
A new deck was added, laid with Evergreen 2020 v-grooved plate. The deck over the casemates was made as per drawing, and the K�nig casemates were juggled as to make the best fit of them, needing several modifications and one completely built from scratch. Also the shelter deck was made.
I also made a 38cm turret plus guns from scratch, and had a friend of mine casting four copies from resin. Well, now on to building the superstructures, I already made the funnels from Evergreen tubing, and modified the K�nigs conning tower into the shape for the Baden.
Well, that's for now, once the superstructures are there I'll show you more.
Maarten
