Since Photobucket suddenly made payable all images displayed in blogs etc, I gave up posting.
That didn't mean that I stopped working on the Prinz, and I am now finally in the final stages of the model.
Apart from the fences, the superstructure is finished

At the moment I am working on the ship's boats.
I have finished the two launch vehicles

and now working on the Admiral's motor boat

All the fittings are also ready (although I am sure that I have forgotten to make one or two).

This pretty much sums up where my project is at the moment.

To make the build, I had to make detailed drawings of each part since I cannot make the parts free-hand.
Since the drawings are all made in scale 1/200 I combined them in two complete drawings; a 1/200 Starboard view and a 1/200 Top view, both in resolution 150dpi.
These two drawings will of course be made available when the build is finished and with it the drawings.

For the past many weeks, I have been working on the rear/main mast
A bit of a puzzle, but after numerous repairs because of the flimsy parts that kept breaking, and breaking off it has finally been finished.

I really do worry when the time comes to add the rigging. A lot of rigging has to be attached to these delicate parts.

I finally got a couple of monhs this year where I could concentrate on the Prinz. Rigging and some of the smaller parts still needs to be worked on, but the finish line is now in sight :smallsmile:

I could not find any detailed plans when I started my build, so I want to make my plans available to the forum members in case anyone else would like to build 'Prinz Eugen'.
I'll ask in the "Calling All Ship Fans" section.
