OK the Pics have come up now. Very nice work you have done so far. The P/E looks great.....Cheers Mark

OMG Karl, those FLAK mounts are tiny!

You may not be proceeding all that quickly, but this is some Impressive work!

And i thought i was rather fast progress and have been told that aswell..
But to each their own i guess.

However, the PE takes alot of time, even when building for 3-4 hours every evening.
Got some more done yesterday, some more today hopefully and then weekend break to work on Prinz Eugen a bit.

Todays update, railings and some platforms, front of superstructure is starting to take shape.






Is that door shaped hole supposed to be there? Looks odd.

Stunning work Karl,

My eyesight, even with an optivisor my eyesight cannot handle etch that small.

will be following along for the rest of your build.

Cheers

Si

Karl,

Very nice work. I hope you don't run into problems painting all that PE without effecting the finish paint work.

Mark

Your P/E work is very clean and sharp my Friend.....Cheers mark

There was a slight setback, while painting the paint suddenly decided to ruin everything.

I did get superstructure railings done though, anyone know if Bismarcks catapults had walkways or not? I've heard that since the catapults were replaced at some point they didn't have walkways next to them.

Karl,

Sorry to hear about the paint problem, hope you get it resolved.

Mark

Not gonna lie, this had me cracking up.

Sorry about the paint man. I know those feels.

Luckily the paint wasnt as bad as it first seemed, so i got off easy

Karl,

Nice recovery.

Mark

Haven't done much, mostly glued some parts of rear superstructure together and added some railings. With the overpainted air recognition markings on hull.

She is looking very nice my Friend.....Cheers mark

Good recovery Karl,

Looking very effective sat on her base.

Cheers

Si

great work

Starting to near weathering phase, and then base.
Finished funnel and added most of details, just AA guns and boats with couple details of catapults missing.

And first time i had paint do that, goopy and grainy. Same jar that ruined paintjob on brige.

Karl,

That is a great photo of the bow at the water line.

Mark

Managed to do hull railings today and take some pics.

Got AA guns done yesterday but could not post dueto some error. Anyway, with a knife for scale, here's the 20mm Flak

Karl,

Wow, that is one tiny gun. There is no way I could have worked with PE that small. Very nice effort.

Mark

Been a while since update, but i have been working on it.
Before being stuck on base.

Working on wake, have added braces for forward breakwater and ladders for mainmast, with oil spill which was present.

Toned down the white

Current state

There will be week long break with no progress as im away from the model.

Karl,

I am really liking the water effects.

Mark

She is looking great on her Base.....Cheers mark

Another week has passed and some work has been done, mostly to seascape but i also managed to fix a couple mistakes and start rigging the masts.
A cunning idea of making decks wet, could have been worse.


And some rigging
