The Ship Model Forum

I posted this under the appropriate "cruiser fan" section but just thought it would fit better here: This is my just completed Prinz Eugen. Additions are the "Flyhawk" super detail set, "Master" bofor gun barrels, "Pontos" deck, and numerous scratchbuilt items. Enjoy.

This is an extremely nice and detailed build. I love the water as well. Excellent, inspirational job.

Lovely job, very nicely finished with fine detail and delicate weathering.

Wonderful work!
I myself am a big fan of the Kriegsmarine cruiser and did last year, "Admiral Hipper" built!
You've built the Prince really outstanding!

I agree with all the posts above, that's one fine build.

Superb model!!!!

How did you do the rigging?

Hey, thanks for all the kind words. It makes me feel like my efforts were worth it. GTdeath, the rigging, (most of the horizontals), was done with fine EZ Line, a stretchable line used most often in model railroading. The verticals are different diameter fly fishing line attached with white glue. As a side note, none of the rigging was shortened with heat. They were all cut to length and applied. Most of the aerials have some slack in them anyway. The insulators on the rigging were created with small blobs of white glue and painted. Hope this explanation answers your question.

Very nice, congratulations being finished and on the wonderful looking ship.
Really like the bow waves.
Thank you, Chris

Outstanding work! It's the total package. Hats off to you Sir.

Park that next to a Bismarck and the 1/350 HMS Hood doesn't stand a chance!

Excellent model. I, also, am blown away by the detail. Especially the rigging! Excellent water as well.

...a fanatastic build! And of course a beautiful ship, IMHO the best looking Kriegsmarine vessel...! Sometimes here it is called "die kleine Bismarck"!

cheers

Simply wicked craft. Love the tonnes of small extras. Nicely done sir.
