Thanks for the additional links, Bill! A.J.

I ran a few lines of the instructions through the German translator with no problem, so they definitely seem to be German. Words like "Achtung!" in capital letters are repeated throughout. :D And even though I already have 2 unbuilt models :oops:, I couldn't pass up a great bargain on...

Thanks for the link, Darwin! There are some really excellent illustrations of the Potemkin there. A.J. P.S. And I hope you had a great birthday yesterday! :D

I have to agree with the others, as well. The rigging looks great, Barry! Well done! A.J.

Sounds like a good idea, Jim. I think I'll do just that. It looks like a great site with some really good prices on their models! A.J.

Thanks, Barry! This should also come in handy for my JSC Lion instructions, as I'm pretty sure they're in German, not Polish. A.J.

Thanks for the link to the photo etch railings, Jim! I'd been looking around for 1:250 scale railings to no avail. At $22.50 a sheet, does anyone know how many inches worth of railing you get per sheet? Also, does anyone know how you connect the railings to one another? A.J.

Good choice! :D Looks like Wien is going to be getting a fellow Austro-Hungarian fleetmate! As a hopeless battlecruiser buff, I can understand your temptation to start on Seydlitz - but german text-only instructions! :shock: Perhaps, someone here knows a good German translator website that...

Hadn't really noticed that, but now that you mention it... :!: Over 4800 views now and closing in on 5000! :shock: A.J.

Re: HMS Savage hull It certainly is! :D You've done a great job building the hull, and with that arctic camo it looks like she's going to be a very attractive model indeed. 8) A.J.

Re: Takao jackstaffs Neat job with the sea, Barry! It looks like it's going to make a splendid display piece. :D Best of luck with the rigging! A.J.

Very nice, Steve! You've done a wonderful job painting it (they're made out of tin aren't they?). That also reminds me that Oliver Stone is making a movie about the life of Alexander the Great. Should be a good one to go see when it comes out! A.J.

Oops. :oops: I forgot to ask in my earlier post: what tool did you use to drill the small holes for the rigging? And congratulations on making the front page and earning "Picture of the Week" Honors! :D A.J.

She looks terrific, Steve! I've been sitting here for several minutes just studying your photos… So, this is your idea of "minimalist" rigging scheme! :shock: Congratulations on the completion of a magnificent project! So what’s up next? ;) :D A.J.

Thanks for sharing your scoring technique, Rob! I also found the photos of your tool collection very interesting. I'm still very new to cardmodeling so I'm still in the process of acquiring and trying out different tools. It's always helpful to see what the veterans are using! :D I'll also...

That reminds me, I came across this site a while back that has some photos of the Saratoga and Prinz Eugen taken at Bikini in 1997: http://www.liddiard.demon.co.uk/photoix/prinzeugen/index.htm I hadn't realized Prinz Eugen wasn't even completely submerged! A.J.

Coming along nicely, Rob! Like Scorpio, I admire how clean your model looks and how there are so few visible edges. Do you score the folds on the face of the part or on the back? A.J.

Re: Takao general views continued *whistles innocently* I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about. ;) Takao looks marvelous, Barry! Rob's right, you should be very proud. Thanks for sharing even more pictures with us junkies. :lol: A.J.

:shock: :shock: :shock: That is simply amazing, Scorpio! How you can manage to build something that is so small, yet so detailed, is beyond my comprehension! :D

Thanks, Steve. I've been using an x-acto knife for most of the cutting I've been doing as my scissors are too thick to give me a clear view of the line. I just odered a pair of those Fiskars scissors Ron displays in his "Tools of the Trade" article. Hopefully, they'll work a lot better! A.J.
