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!

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

Beautiful PE work

great start

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"!

I think it looks great!

hi
that is perfect nothing above the admirals bridge though
gary r

great camo work

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

Happy painting ~ Olaf!

Damn!
I will correct it immediately!

Very clever, Dirk.

Indeed clever idea!
Looking forwad for more...

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

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.

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!
