It's been slow going mainly building the double 40's(?) from Veteran Models they are very time consuming I have more coming from Bunker Studios will pick the best out of the litter let's say.I noticed another inaccuracy the wall behind the R/double ended up in the wrong spot had to remove the ammo box build the wall to that area and fold it...it's close.Then I noticed that a box existed in front inbetween the doubles between the ammo boxes it's a ventilation chamber for the lower deck.I fabricated something to scale and added two louver vents.The range finders are just in place ATTM nice fit.

That's why John been going the direction of Lacquers still got plenty of enamels but the Mr.leveling even speeds up the drying time for enamels.

John that really came out Nice!! would be even better if Tamy floated that way with a b/c version?

Tom this is really going to be a Nice Rendition of a very usual subject.

That came out Nice Jerry and it's always nice to add another to the completed shelf.

Must be going around first Rob,Me and then You in the last 3/4 months

Someone hit a snag?

Shame some of that gets covered with a wash Jereon wonderful execution!

Scott I was watching Tedford(?) 2023 pics on YT last night and let me tell some of those digital splinter schemes had my eyes going wonkey really effective camo.

That's an ugly most of us appreciate!

Me likey Polish markings!!!!!!!

Fuuny

So that s were the wig went !!Nice work Guy and yes I would think that those 1/48 would make great dios 2for the price of 1 in size.

Looking good Ernie and am I spying some modulation in that OD scheme?As to the engines I thought they worked out Nice once doctored up a bit but could see weras some 3D print could add a Nice accent.

Good work on the office and yes clears the mind relaxes the soul,

Guy you don't tell me I never known that came out real Nice!!

That Sir is some mighty Fine work you have accomplish there.

Thanks Harv just to late .I was looking at how another builder got pass it and he missed it at first but lucky for him nothing glued together in that part of the build.his method was some good cutting coming about at the bottom of the page. https://www.laroyale-modelisme.net/t27110p245-croiseur-de-bataille-dkm-scharnhorst-trumpeter-1-200-de-dyphrologue

A slight dilemma ............a picture is worth a thousand words they say ......and a few curse words also.What you see portrayed by Trumpter is the deck of the Gneisenau!! They produced that kit first if not mistaken and just went willy nellie here I have the book from Kagero on the Gneisenau and that's her layout.The wood chip is stained now you see why she will not be stained at all.

Feels slow Guy research and look at pics and more looking. Thanks Harv it's a long movie though.

I have had some time to myself for a change and working to get it to pay off.I had to pull up three sets of Binoculars and reposition two of them further down the observation station and position two compasses.The book is becoming more and more a guide on the build this is the layout from March/43.I also cut off all the globes of plastic on top of the radar/rangefinder and replaced them with resin bits and made two features not present but so in 43.The 20mm Flak guns are really sasweeet but so fragile had to order three more sets just to be sure I have enough still more painting there.The rangefinder station is still not glued down yet and neither the tower to be built behind it sure/slow is the game plan.The book is awesome piece of reference material for this build a must.I have seen weras on other build people complaining about the fit of the rear SS to the deck?as you see I have left the moulded spruces in place from the factory giving it more rigidity across the deck.The rear SS will need a finger and 1/2 lbs of pressure till the glue sets slightly bowed upward it is.

That is really looking Nice their Peter!

That is the plan in the head see were she ends is another event.The rigging is quite extensive on this ship but I like rigging it adds a whole other dimension to the WWII ships.

Glad to have you along Peter just spraying alot of RLM75 ATTM time to add more bits to the SS today.

Thanks Rob she is a bit to handle at times and to paint.
