I really love the effort you went to create this monster. You should not link time to this. Lots of patience and careful planning with a little bit of luck can move worlds. Great effort, superb workmanship and excellent skill you have. Well done!!

Hi, Silvershadow!
Thank you for the kindly comments!
My work with the aft superstructure takes lots of time- and goes not too fast.
But it goes, and I will post some results soon.
With best regards,
Anatoly

Thank you, Capitao!
Not too much is done, but I've found materials and methods- and it is my main result for today!
With best wishes-

Hi, friends!
It was a long term for experiments.
I did.
I redid.
I overdid.
Now let me introduce for you some results.

Pay attention that storm lids are closed (the reference time for my model is 24.05.1941, 5:50)

With best regards,
Anatoly.

Yes, Bernd, it was steel surface (the Tirpitz had planked deck in the area)
But there is a question: was the steel deck behind the aft command post smooth or seamy (anti-slipp) ?
Please, give me a answer, if you know.

With best regards-
Anatoly
From what I know it was smooth!

Bye! :wave_1:

Great work! :thumbs_up_1: Please remind that the deck behind the aft command post was steel, not planked.

Bye!

Hello everybody!

There is a short step ahead.

pic.1 - the side parts of the aft superstructure were covered by aluminium 0,2 mm
pic.2 - the catapult's base was formed
pic.3 shows the "aluminization" process
pic.4 - the close view of the main hangar
pic.5 - the result of my probes with lacquers- the deck is matt and sandygrey.

With best regards-
Anatoly

Thanks Anatoly!

The use of a table type saw would be a good way to do this with precision! Not too easy to work with such small pieces!

Some have run a black marker along the side of the board before gluing it down. Anatoly has certainly achieved a nice effect in this scale!

Anatoly,

The decks look great! I especially appreciate that you are putting in the margin boards - nice detail and a lot of work.

How did you create the "tar" between the boards?

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

Hi, Tom!

I used separated planks for the deck and a epoxy glue. There is a picture where you can see the process. The deck's thikness is 0,75 mm after gluing and 0,5 mm after sanding.

Anatoly:

Thank you for sharing the construction technique. Looks to be a very stout build which should hold up,well over time. Could you share the method of laying the deck, are these individual pieces or scribed into the surface somehow?

Regards. Tom

About the wood what I used for decks - I took it from schoolpupil rulers. I don't know exact what wood is it, but I think it is a pear or somthing like pearwood. The wood ruler is hard enough and keeps its form very well.

Thanks for response :thumbs_up_1: :wave_1:
