Must be an amazing feeling to have salvaged this object.
Great photo Daniel, can't you hijack Hector and keep him prisoner until he tells his story here?

 This way he is my friend. Hector this one marking an impact of grapeshot, produced in the battle of the River Plate. I suppose. 

This one is a piece of the shielding of 10 mm. Extracted of place of impact if it looks well hard more and a boarder is obvious an external cap more softly to absorb the impact.

You have been keeping us all in suspense here Daniel. Long time no updates on the Graf Spee. It has been worth the wait though,
the Graf Spee is looking excellent. Nice scratch building on the smoke-stacks, good work and great detailing.I'll get a PM off to you and Warren this weekend with some idea's I have how and where to start our MTB blog on September 1st.First off to Alkmaar tomorrow: I have fallen in love with a rather magnificent Nikon camera I have seen and I might be tempted to buy it.
More work going on on the big "B", don't think I'll finish her in time though  
 
   
   
 Cheers,
Julian  
 
 P.S. Bill Gorm will be contacting you about the Admiral Graf Spee as well.

Hi Daniel.
Coming along very well! As usual your work is amazing.
I have a Trumpeter 1/350 Graf Spee in the stash ready to go after the Hood and I was thinking I could build it alongside yours until the dreaded MTB trio build starts..
Keep at it mate.
Cheers
Warren

That is a big coincidence Daniel, I am going to take a look at the Nikon 520  
 
 Are you satisfied with the quality of the 510?

Well, I bought the Nikon Coolshot 520,and am already madly in love with it and its possibilities. You were right about the manual though, 244 pages  
 
  
 .
I have also bought a rather thick and heavy book on digital photography and am trying to puzzle out F-stops, appertures, shutter speeds etc. You might be seeing some rather puzzling photos in the next few weeks  
 
   
 My 1/35th Bronco Seehund arrived from Shanghai this morning too,so I have been looking at your excellent build Daniel and looking for reference material. I love the Whale-shark cammo so I think I will go for that.
Cheers,
Julian

Be careful with the macro function Mr Sallows as it can show up unwanted glitches in your build...
