Hello.

I made funnels from scrap MDF and paper. Turrets are from ICM König kits. I cut away wedges of deck over the 150mm guns. As seen in photographs. Sea will be made of wall filler again.

Thank you.

I made some more origami 10 finger work. Ventilation housings. You can see that the poop deck is just a base layer of card. I have to wait for some inks for my printer.

Hello

Small update for a silent day. I started gluing my first ever stahlschutzringe (steel protective ring) or kartuschauswurfring. I also added some PE windows from GPM and WEM and doors from GMM.

Hello!

I have been building the forward superstructure and funnel. I made the ventilators between Frahm tanks and the second funnel. These are wrong in HMV and Flyhawk kits. Go figure.

After some stone kicking and cursing with the names of old deities...

I'm cutting new decks from v-crooved plastic sheets.

I am just too messy for card/paper decks. Battle continues.
