Another great series of update photos, Christoph! :D

Superb job putting the cranes together, along with the rigging wire and all the little details.

I can't say enough about the quality of your photos...simply outstanding!! :D

Looking forward to the next installment.

Cheers!

Hello friends,

Today pleases me after a little longer break to present new pictures.
8 small cannons are already ready and on right ones put been stuck. The anti-aircraft puts in the rear is also already ready. Now I build the main mast in front. For it I use different material as for example toothpick, wire etc.
Here a few photos I have prepared for you.

Absolutely magnificent, Christoph! :D

All the detail work you do with building railings and ladders, adding crane rigging, and everything else you do is amazing to watch.

Hello dear friends,
As well as yesterday I have promised, today I already show the ready built masts. For the construction of masts I have paper, wood, and wire as a building material used. I have painted all that with color Humbrol 64.
Now the sloops are in it. 10 boats were on the ship. I have a boat already ready, thus remains to me another 9 different beiboote to build. All windows are cut out and are unterstuck with "Tesa". But about that point I will report later.
Here a few photos of ready already masts

With the best greetings to you all friends
Christoph

Witaj Scorpio!
Piękny model.
Bardzo mi się podoba.
Kawał dobrej roboty!
Szkoda, że Bismarck w skali 1:250, bo fajnie by się prezentowały razem.
Pozdr.

Hi, Christoph! :D

What a beautiful little gem those power launches are! I bet you had a lot of fun building them and adding those little details. They came out great!
I love the way those delicate little screws came out, an outstanding job, my friend. :D

Once again, superb photography, thanks!

Cheers!

Jim

Christoph, you have done an excellant job on the ship's boats. i can't see that small anymore let alone being able to do that type of work. They are works of art in themselves, bravo, that bar gets raised higher and higher, truly a master.
