looks good,
to me the hull seems to be a bit awkward compared to the superstructure....but im not a hull OR tirpitz expert, so dont take my word for it.
but a nice job! keep posting updates for us!

yeah i have had some problems modelling the hull itself, i think i will go back and try a different technique. Pro E is n't the best surfacing package available.

Nice work. I'm not a pro E user, prefer AutoCAD. Does Pro E do lofted surfaces well?

Pro E isn't the best for surfacing, as you can get problem when you thicken the surface to a solid. Just takes some time to do.

still work in progress but a lot closer to completion!
i think the CAD model is starting to look better than actual heller kit! - my painting is quite poor!
