Hi guys! After a long time I'm finally back!
This is my new project, the Ocean liner SS Bremen in 1939-40 with a very interesting dazzle camouflage.
I start the construction from the Sche�ver & Struver paper plan and I have to thanks my friend Piedade of Kartonbau.de for the complete hull lines draw sent me.
The camouflage you see in the pictures is the first coat of the dazzle camo and also the upper structures are temporary applyed over the hull in order to well refine all the dazzle lines.

Thanks for the title correction,
For the first time I used the ArtWox vooden deks.. I hope that their glue will provide a strong and durable locking...

Hi guys! Thanks for the warm welcome!
The model is built all in plastic sheets, I built the hull using the paper plans I quoted previously and I add the missing under work part cutting the hull lines from a plastic card. All the hull has been covered with slats like is usual for thr wooden model ships. I obtained the windows in two ways, for the large upper structure I carved the windows using the shape you can see in the picture, for the thin upper structure I used a transparent plastic card and I placed on it the frames obtained with brass wire rolled around the metal tool you show in the picture. In a second time also the large upper structure will receive a brass frame in order to refine an detail the part.
Hi guys! I wish for all you a good 2015!
Here belw you can see my little progress in building the Bremen.. the stern wiew with some little details.
I will add other details in a second time in order to avoid crashes during the handling of this big model.
Thanks Jim!!
You Always are very kind with me!
