Re: 1/400 Admiral Scheer Heller
some from pictures...but also logic thinking.....on a ship there are always handrails when there is a danger ..no captain wants a sailor falling overboard or fall even from 2 meters....so I imagine myself on board and do what needs where mustMarco wrote:Excellent work!

Re: 1/400 Admiral Scheer Heller
and to give idea of size...with H44 ...wich was my initial thinking...but when looking at details like bringing up lenght, beam but mainly draft...a bit complicated with my kit
FYI, for the image I used bismarck and scaled it up, gave it a slight proportion alternation to correspond the size projected of lenght vs wide

Re: 1/400 Admiral Scheer Heller
fixed last details, 20 mm AA guns host the flag....she's done and ready for action
took fast a pic, I'll see ...that is if you want me to do so, to make some more when light is better.
hope you enjoyed my build...and specialy I hope you like my Admiral Scheer...
done in 2 months and 2 days from start

Very nice work. If they're all on a shelf, use a custom acrylic case top to protect from dust.

Fully agree with Dan K. Get an acrylic cover as soon as possible. The dust with negate all of your efforts.Dan K wrote:Very nice work. If they're all on a shelf, use a custom acrylic case top to protect from dust.

50 X 25 X 24.6 (Length x deep X High in cm)...its a first make...mainly a material try....cutting, glueing...is it ok or not
