Very well done so far. Looks like the end result will be excellent.
This ship has a very complicated casemate system, which I imagine would be pretty difficult to build. How is the kit in this regard?

Hi friends.........
@Teamski:
the parts "in the deck" aren´t necessary because I use the etched parts...
:roll: :grin:
@Gregory Shoda:
the fit of the kit is very good so far !! No problems at all !

Great job, FLU!!! I built the Willemshaven version many years ago and now have the GPM w/photo-etched parts (tks, Hobby Factory!). I'm taking notes on how you build....I can use the help:grin:
the hulls skin....
Dear friends,
thank you all for your kind comments.
The hull is nearly finished.........only some parts at the rear and it´s finished,
Look for the smooth weathering I made around the bulleyes..........
best regards FLU

FLU,
Great job on your approach to the first full hull (ship/liner/ship of the line/battleship/armored ship of the line/....:grin: ) ....I have never build a full hull ship...and am threatening to do so,(maybe in the near future?) and I hope that my attempt will maybe come close to your great job....it's clean, and from here on you should really enjoy your progress!!! I really enjoy your build threads!!!:grin:

the hull is closed and finished............
Dear Friends,
the work at the hull is finished.
I put the first details ..........
It´s funny to build this model, it fits very good
best regards FLu

macro pics are terrible.......
Hi airbob,
because of the size of the model the real overall impression is much better than the pics.......often I see some gaps just at the pics..............but, it looks nice for me............with relings and rigging it will be impressive !
thank´s so far
FLU
just found a nice pic of my ship.............

rudder, propellers, bilge keels finished.....
Hi firends,
the next steps are "upstairs", the hullis finished with all details.......
the shipyard delivered the propellers and the rudder
and the bilge keels (is that the right term ??)
Just look for my rack. I used a (for me) new material it´s named "kappa Platte", a sandwich of cardstock and a sort of foam, light, stiff and easy to cut. The cutted edges I will cover with cardboard later............
and the overall look
It seems that my shelf will be to small for the ship......

the casemate guns (cal. 15cm)
Hi friends,
at first, thank´s for the kind comments, today I built the casemate guns. Sadly they are not movable, the impression is o.k..
Here you see the prepared parts:
and a preshaped casemate
so it looks finished
best regards FLU

What a striking build, I think your weathering really added a lot to the overall impression. Very well done, thanks for posting the photos!
turret "ANTON"
Dear friends,
I proudly present
turret "ANTON".The turrets of german battle ships all have names beginning with A for the front turret, the next was named bis a B "BERTA" and so on
See the turret before weathering but still detailed with lasercut ladders......

Great lookin' guns there FLU! It's neat how it can turn from side to side. Interesting factoid about the naming convention. Is that universal (not just German)?

Yes, great looking guns! You are making me seriously consider one of my ship models as the next one! Great job!

turret "BRUNO"
Dear friends,
may I introduce to you trurret "BRUNO" ( I decided to name it Bruno not Berta..... )
and both turrets
and some details around ANTON
I built the hatchways (is that the right term ??) in open position
@ rlwhitt: I don´t know if it´s a greman specialty, perhaps there are some navy guys with us and they could answer your question.......
