Hello Everyone, Sorry for the delay in posting. I have finished a bit more, both funnels and more deck works. I have also completed the first set of torpedo tubes. This assembly alone has over 50 parts! Some of these things are tiny! Here you are, let me know what you think.

Hey Guys, Barry, Rob is right, those are the mounts to the torpedo tubes. She has two banks of 5 tubes each. I am working on those right now and hope to have them done this evening. More soon and thank you both for the encouragement.

Thanks Rob! Here is a couple more bits of progress. I hope they do justice to the model. It is truely amazing how harsh a digital camera can be! Anyway,

Hello again, Here is the latest work on Glowworm. Expecting to get a lot more done as the wife is going out of town again. :twisted:

Hello gang! I seem to have gotten lost in the building process, I thought I had posted more progress photos than this. Here is where I am, and appologies for the delay... :oops:

Hi All, Here is a couple of shots of the "ski ramp" looking item in front of the number 2 gun implacement. (Sorry I don't have the official term.) I'm sure it is some sort of a protection shield for the number one gun implacement. Makes for a very sturdy assembly when you are finished.

Me again, I didn't have my second cup of coffee and forgot a pic or two... :oops:

Good Morning gang, Sorry to have taken so long with any more posts on the progress with Glowworm. I have been feverishly working away, some of the assemblys have a bunch of parts! Here we are:

Oh, great so it is my fault... I didn't realise you were going to use my own work surface against me. Man, you people are way too good at this! Curses I say. :) I guess you do learn something new everyday. I will be over here in the corner mumbling and cutting paper. No really, my desk is...

Therein lies my confusion. You can clearly see the forward emplacements in the lower picture but not in the upper. But since I believe that both photos show that the two forward funnels have been joined together, both shots have to be close to her configuration just prior to WW II. That is...

Schleswig Holstein Photographs I still can't quite figure out if all of the shots I find are even of the same ship. Sometimes there seems to be gun emplacements in the bow, sometimes not. The porthole arrangement changes in shots with and without those emplacements. I know there were...

Hello Erick, I've been looking around for that sort of photo myself. I don't know how much more that was done to her past 1938. It looks like most of the modifications were complete by then. The most noticeable changes to me are the funnel mods and the removal of the "cheek" guns from the...

Besides, if you want small, Oregon is tiny compared to the stuff you guys are doing. And if my wife lets me stop painting I plan on finishing her this weekend. :D Keep up all the great builds all of you! Glen

Just to add my comments to the fray, there are certain parts, on certain kits of course, that need to be made of wire or wood or some such thing. Anchor chains, boat davits and antenna come to mind. But I am rambling and should get back to the ship I need to finish. Glen

Here we go kiddies! My wife, who is really, Really good to me, got a replacement camera so here is a test photo for quality control. I will post more once I figure out how close I can get with it. Glen

Thank you all for your kind words! I will post more photos soon but the changes are really incramental. Such small parts don't seem to change things much. But I will keep at it. Maria, I am very impressed with your work! Someday I would like to do something like that. Steve, how are...

Raimund, Welcome to the wet side! Looks great. I am thinking of trying Maly's Aurora next. Won't be nearly as nice as the more recent offerings though. I am looking forward to seeing your progress! Glen

Last two I swear! :lol: Glen

And a couple more just 'cause I'm on a roll... Glen

Hi All! Well, my camera is lost and must wait for the child to earn enough to replace it. However I have borrowed one to take some shots just to keep the juices flowing. Here is the first. I have to shrink the others but that will have to wait just a little while. I have finished quite a...
