Thanks for the comments Gents. I have not been on here for a while but I am still building her. The Date Stamp is correct so I am playing catchup. Will have more up shortly.....Cheers mark

She looks great with the decks down Mark!! Looking forward to seeing more come about soon!

Hi Mark!

A great start to a welcome return to the forum!

A rare bird this kit is of one of the "ugly sisters" since Dragon seem to have taken it out of production, so I'll be watching along with interest.

Looks like the usual 'waterline' kit fit issues so far, but nothing you didn't overcome easily.

Look forward to seeing more as things progress

Thanks Gents for your comments. The Bridge is basically done so will have some more for you soon.....Cheers Mark

Nice work there Mark!! Great seeing all the pieces come together on this! Sharp work on the rigging!

Your Scharnhorst is looking great, so far. Great job.

The putty and sanding "session" looked like a lot of work. Filling and sanding such a long seam isn t easy. Had very similar problems with the Trumpeter kits.

Looking forward, to your next steps

Hi Mark,

great stuff, looking good, and real rapid progress.

Cheers.

Mark,

Your progress looks great. Look forward to watching as you continue this build.

I can't stand the flag that flew on the stern, but these ships certainly were handsome. I've never seen this kit built and I'm really enjoying watching her, (him?), come together.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. OK detail work has started on the Midships Section. More to come soon.....Cheers mark

Very fast progress and I'm liking it so far.

Impressive detail work !

Keep it coming Mark....Looking great!

Thanks for the comments Gents. The Midships Area is now being fitted out. More to come soon.....Cheers Mark

Coming on at a rate of knots Mark,

Looking really good.

Cheers

Si

coming along at a rate of knots, Mark!

Mark,

Great work and nice speed. I really like the wooden deck you used for this. It really makes this ship pop. Looking forward to seeing more progress.

Dave

Good work on all these small details, splendid build.
Scharnhorst was along with her sister a beautiful ship, this will be perfectly presented on your build !

The Dragon kit is since years on my wish list, its quite expensive,so it never hit my stash :-(

Some days ago, i digged out my Heller Gneisenau, 1/400 and glued the hull together, with some corrections and help from some aftermarket sets, i will try to build her.
May the force is with me

Looking great Mark!! Nice to see things coming together!!

I had completely forgotten I had a Blog for her and she is now finished. And here she is.....Cheers mark

Well done Mark!! A fine looking ship you have there!!

Great job Mark.

Really good looking build.

If mine comes out anywhere near as cool as that I will be well pleased.

Just so I am forewarned, any issues with the blast bags, they look effective, and the big guns?

Cheers.

Si

Thanks for the comments Gents much appreciated....Cheers Mark

Mark,

Cheers ,
