hello all,
i have just got the Revell kit 1/350 S.M.S. Emden,and need to know what PE ship rails and any other PE items to get to make the model look good.
any help is welcome.
cheers,
Bruce

Gold Medal Models set (350-13)
Osprey press (NV 84)
Vectorcut (D350-02)
I wasnt able to find you any brass barrels,but If you use the osprey book,you can determine the calibre and possibly cheat wiith a BMK product
Hope this helps

The Vector Cut wooden deck is really nice.

Here is a nice build in progress on the German site Marinwerft.
He is using most all of the after market products on the build.

hello all,
thanks for the fast response to my question.i am going to try to do this as a wip/feature for the site.
as i do not know how to do this all remarks and criticism will be most welcome.

i got the cast off of my arm today(Sunday)and with the 30 lbs of plaster gone i feel i can fly using the left arm.i still have the mid-body cast on.the doc's said it can come off in 2 weeks,i hope.it is a pain to sleep with it there.the doc's are worried when i broke my rib's i put a small hole in my lung,but no problems yet.
again thanks for the info on the S.M.S. Emden.
cheers,
Bruce

Great site!!

Bruce, glad tosee you onthe mend! I have that kit for the WW1 GB, would be following your build and info closely! cheers

hello all,
i have been doing a lot of research on the Emden,and i have found a referance that the Revell kit bridge is wrong.does anyone know where i can find some blueprints for the bridge area?
@Jim McIntosh,the osprey book is for german light cruisers 1939-45,and i am looking for the light cruiser from WW1.thanks for your info about the PE and Wooddecks. about the osprey book, thanks for the book number, i know i will need it sooner or later.
cheers,
Bruce

I know Bruce ...I went to the White Ensign models site....searched up the Emden on thier in site search engine...and thats what they gave me ....the book apparently has alot of info on the Emden...sorry for any confusion

hello Jim,
no worries,there were 3 ships called Emden in the german navies.and as i said i will need that book sooner or later so i am adding it to my buy list.
thanks for doing all that research for me.if i can do anything for you,let me know.
cheers,
Bruce

Hi Bruce.
Did you ever get anywhere with this kit?
Cheers
Warren

Hello Warren,
I had to put the kit in "my going to build someday"
With the medical problems and running the campaign section I have not touched a model in 16 months.
In a few months I am going to have my 4th or 5th knee surgery. If it does not fix it, They are going to take the leg a few inches above the knee.
Thanks for asking, I am still gathering info on the SMS Emden.
Cheers,
Bruce

That sounds a bit nasty mate. I have two bad knees so I know what a pain they can be. Not fun when they give way for no apparent reason. Luckily my medical bills for them are covered by Veteran's Affairs.
I have to get a PE set for my Emden and then I can start her. But with the dollar sliding down again it can wait for the 22 ships I have with all the PE and wooden deck stuff they need..

i have that and it is nice. gieven you are going to screw up the mid deck cutting off the pyramis steps anyway. i have the gold medal models pe set. as for the guns probably some sprue or brass rod would work for the barrel. i plane on cutting the back out and adding a styrene rod to simulate the breach.
