The Ship Model Forum

Thank's a lot Mick! :smallsmile:

great work :thumbs_up_1:

Hello,

After a long absence I am back with my Scharnhorst! The model is now nearly complete. All that's missing the rigging as well as a few sailors! After a few revisions, I am very satisfied with the model!

Dirk

Great work on the camo - very realistic!

Very nice, interesting paint job!

A question about the ship, were the doors to the conning tower armored ones, somewhat similar in design to the Iowa etc. ones?

Cheers. Tom

great camo work :thumbs_up_1:

Update 15.11.14

The bow section is completely finished! The round top platform above the upper rangefinder I have scratched from styrene and a few pe-parts. For this I had to adjust the holders of the FuMo 27 radar antenna! With the camouflage I'm quite happy even if she is not quite perfect. After a washing with dark gray and black it will looks even better. I attached a photo on which you can see the camo of the Scharnhorst during Op. Cerberus!

The baskets are pe-parts. You will find in the pe-sets from Lionroar, Flyhawk or Mk.1!

Hi, great job. May I ask how you did the basket on the cartridge with 20 mm anti-aircraft guns?

Great attention to detail. Keep up the great work!

Thanks man!! :jump_1:

Man, really great work.

After a longer break, I want to show you the progress on my Scharnhorst!


The water surface made with acrylic gel is ready!

Right now I am going to complete the forward superstructure with pe-parts from Lionroar, Mk1 and Dragon. For the fire-control optics I have used the excellent resin model of Veteran. The closed Admiral Bridge in 1943 I converted to the open version of 1942 using parts of pe-frames
