Hello!

I finally started with this little project! I begin with the construction of the Scharnhorst to get a feeling for the kit before I venture to the conversion of the Gneisenau. On the following pics you can see the result of 4 hours work to complete turret "Anton" with pe-parts from MK1 and Lionroar! But there's about 20 parts more to mount!

[LE BOSCO]

your turret " anton" is beautiful ,nice job
cheers
Nicolas

Beautiful PE work

[mick]

great start

[Apophysis]

I asked myself how I can realize the dazzle camo wearing by Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Prinz Eugen during the Channel dash. That's why I have time to experiment a little and took a piece of a sponge and dabbed the dazzles with it. What do you think?







Here's a pic how i use the "sponge-technique"!

[Joe Simon]

I think it looks great!

gary r

[mick]

great camo work

[Olaf Held]

That one blotch on port is too small, the other on starboard too large, otherwise it looks good

Happy painting ~ Olaf!

[Apophysis]

That one blotch on port is too small, the other on starboard too large

Damn!
I will correct it immediately!

[PetrolGator]

Very clever, Dirk.

[blacman]

Indeed clever idea!
Looking forwad for more...

[Apophysis]

Now Scharnhorst's "Boom Brothers" are done! The railing on turret Bruno was scratch built as well as the ammo box!

[GazzaS]

That is fantastic work! I read about the Channel dash years ago. Man, work like this just makes my chin hit the desk. I stand in awe.

[Apophysis]

Here are the first results at the 15 cm twins of secondary artillery. I scratch built the crampons on the back with parts of a pe-railing!
