The Scharnhorst 1/200 by Trumpter-Operation Paderborn

[KevinM]

I have started rigging the Foreward SS area still waiting on some brown EZ-line used for flags for the most part.The first pic shows were I had to add an upright extension to a foreward yard off the SS upper deck still not painted yet and the line heads to a piece I made last week.I am finding these little tri-leg projections all over the SS found four more tonight using a magnifying glass.

 

 

This pic shows where I used black metal line between the outrigger yards of the SS from front yard  to rear and around the front yard to the tri-leg on the SS is EZ-line.The metal line on the sides and back will handle much in rope this will allow the lines not to sag no were as much and look more natural ...I hope.

 

 

You can see just off to the side of the searchlight a new pole added still have to add the V for tri-leg to the bottom it's a beotch.These go to the forward control room and then  to the rangefinder right below

 

The other side where another tri-leg was located and is complete a bit of trial/error here took about 20 minutes and third fold was correct just a PIA but guys rigging is one of the most important elements in bring these ships to life.

 

You can see the little mooring lights I made out of brass below the upper yard.I am just to gullible in thinking these manufactures will include this stuff such as the lights and parts for a successful rigging process but then again I am going 1943 other years where different.You would have to be a Scharnhorst fanatic to know what I missed.

 

 

Thanks for looking in.

This rigging is really adding presence to what is already a great-looking Scharnhorst 👍

Work continues waiting on some brown EZ-line for the ropes for the flags quite a few of those so the turrets came off and blast bags till the line shows up.

The forward SS is rigged and I think I may of gotten about 90%  now on to the rear SS many rope lines for flags in that area so some more brown into the mix.Sorry had taken two pics earlier to close got fuzzy did those without the cover you get the cover this time.

Well, that´s a lot of rigging for a ship without sails, Kevin. Tons of work, but it adds a lot detail wise.

Cheers Rob

Much more to do Rob but my favorite part of the build though hence the reason I like it it adds much.
