BC Scharnhorst / 1:200 / Paper model

[stefino]

Hi all. I would like to present here my construction. I started at November 2013 and construction goes very slowly. As you can saw, I still search books, photos or other notes what can help me make the model better. So, I'm making parts, what are well-known and I can use notes from other german ships.

I started with some deck equipment like AAs, reflectors etc. Nowadays I finished funnel and started to make rear extension.

As you can see it is paper model. It is classic construction without a lot of painting because I build it to Naviga competitons so I must respect rules of C-7 category. Only things what I use are etchings. Advantage is that making etchings is my job so I can draw own etchings. You can see our products here

Let's move to the construction.



The first, I made some boxes. I don't know what are they for

Next part were reflectors...

Be welcome Stefino
the build looks very good
i will watch your thread
thanks for share us

[Olaf Held]

The first, I made some boxes. I don't know what are they for

These are the canisters hosting the barrels for sub-caliber firing (inserting smaller barrels into the large ones in order to reduce wear and tear on the latter).

Anyway, your progress looks fantastic.
Good luck for the competition, should be piece of cake for you!

Happy modelling ~ Olaf!

Thank you guys and thank's for explanation

Now some progress. I finished 48 struts.

Hi all. I made new details on the superstructure. I'm still working at one side ( absence of documentation of other sides of this superstructure ). After this I made frame of hangar and second storey of rear superstructure.

Hi!
I receved book 3D Scharnhorst from Kagero publishing (thanks again rtwpsom2 ) so I can continue with my work I made some more detail on the funnel and continue with superstructure's details





Number of new parts:148
Overall parts:1 612

[stefino]

Right side - 80% done

[Neptune]

That is some amazingly incredible work! From paper.... Nice that you keep track of the amount of parts, I should have done that as well. Too late now I guess.

Keep it coming, incredible what you can do with paper!!!

[stefino]

Thank you Neptune

I have a little question for you guys. It is about window borders. I saw that modelers make it in copper colour. I tried to look after some pictures and at some photos I saw that it is quite possible. Or it is brass maybe

[DrPR]

Most likely brass. It is much harder than copper (a soft metal). Brass is used a lot in ships.

It's looking amazing Stefino.

Really good work and terrific subject! How do you like Halinski compared to GPM or JSC?

[stefino]

Thank you guys

Halinski is the best paper model publishing. It has really good models. Nowadays there is second publishing what has great models - Dom Bumagi from Ukraine. There is a lot of details - I think, Bumagi is a successor in top-class models because Halinski finishing its model publishing - what I know. GPM is average publishing - but there is a lot of good models. Admiral Hipper, Chikuma, Hiei or new IJN carrier Taiho. But if you want to make model for Naviga competitions - for example - you must remake more parts than in Halinski or Dom Bumagi models.

If you look at my Scharnhorst, there are a lot of remakes too. But...if you'll make model without remakes, you'll get high-detailed model. But i want something more than this high-detailed model

And JSC is unknow publishing for me so I can't compare it.
