The Ship Model Forum

Benedetto did a super job scratch building a 1/400 scale model of Sperrbrecher 13 ,it inspired me to do it in 1/96 scale .These were minefield breakers or pathfinders .They were also called minefield hunters because they went out and exploded mines instead of clearing them .
I am haveing trouble downloading photos so my friend Nelson will do it for me .I will be back after Nelson post one sheet of plans that Benedetto sent me .

Dear Folks,

Below is the drawing Richard asked me to post, showing the profile and superstructure parts:



I laid the drawing out and secured it with utensils and the camera. I then took this picture with the camera before the corner could roll up.

Nelson

How can you take a picture with a camera if the camera is actually in the picture??? You're faster than the light, awesome

Looking forward to see this one in large scale Richard!!! Will you do that cool camo scheme as well?

Hi Neptune
Yes I am going to do the camouflage just like Benedetto .I joined a club that has a three day fleet run every Oct but it is for 1/96 or 1/100 only . I am working on a 1/72 scale ship but I need a 1/96 scale ship to run with the club .There is a Bismarck RC model so I will have to lead the way for it .On 28 Sept 1940 Sperrbrecher 13 escorted Bismarck up to Rugen island .
I just hope I can do the camo as well as Benedetto did

Yes I see a headache looming ahead
That will look awesome for sure! Now time to get started. You seem to have a lot of BIG ships going at one time or am I mistaken?
