Yes it does incredible work.

Mate, your job is awesome. Details are amazing. I am making the same ship at the moment. And I have a question, where do you get these etchings? I have tried to make them by soldering two copper wire, but I couldn't manage it. Can you give some tips?

Aaaand this is my progress Sorry for my bad england

Thanks guys

Alpha: All etchings are made by myself. Made - draw. Etchings itself are made in factory, not at home

Some new progress. I draw some details to the hull like holes for suction etc. After that I made some other rangefinders and start to make detail on the deck. In this case 3 barbette.

Bridges with possition lights

There is gorgeous, and there is gorgeous. This is the latter

Some news - 24 rescue boats. Made of resin, etchings and paper. One of them has 7 parts.

Fantastic build, keep it coming!

How did you find a proper arrangement for all the underwater hull openings? As far as I know, no plans for this have survived. Did you adapt a Bismarck/Tirpitz pattern to your Scharny?


Happy modelling ~ Olaf!

Hi Olaf
Thanks

Holes in the hull were made by WOWS hull-texture skin for Scharnhorst. As you wrote - there are no plans for it, have only hull plan for Tirpitz, where the all holes are. But here I used this texture from 3D model. 3D model is really good - I compared it with plans and it has good quality. So I hope that its hull is +- realistic too. Have no idea where they found it if at all. But in the end it looks quite better than only monolithic red colour. It is only one thing what I made without regular plans - but with my knowladge about KM

In final look they are mainly at the bottom of the hull so If you look from the top you will see only red hull But as I wrote - I am not proud that I made it without regular plans.

Absolutely superb!

Thanks

Some pictures of my next project after Scharnhorst? Maybe? I do it when I am away from home. Do someone know what ship is it? It is historical "reconstruction" of my favourite ship

Hi Stefino!

Is it a german O-Klasse battlecruiser? I´m really curious! Where did you get the plans?

Best regards!

Joachim

Nope, but you are so close It is bigger than O-class 138,5 cm long at 1:200 scale

There are no plans. Only simple sketches so it will be somethink like german ships puzzle I know what shapes does it have and details will be made by my knowladge about KM. It will be based on Bismarck/Tirpitz construction In WOWS there are 2 ships what represent this class but I have some reservation to them.

Bah, forget all conventions and just built H-44!

Seriously though, nice work all around!

1/35 Tamiya "Pibber" Patrol Boat
1/350 Trumpeter USS Yorktown CV-10

My guess would be the H39. 138.5 mm in 1/200 would be 277 m in 1/1, which is the length of H39. The ship in the WoWs picture is the Friedrich der große, which as I have read from some sources was a name for one of the H-Klass ships.

Your Scharnhorst is looking great as always! It's amazing to see how much paper could do!

@Joachim, if you are interested in the O-class battlecruiser project, there are really good drawings of the ship's hull lines here, and they were possibly the original plans: viewtopic.php?f=67&t=88203
Though with these we still have little info on the upperworks.
