    S.M.S. Schleswig Holstein, GPM, 1:200, Full hull

    Hoche vs Schleswig-Holstein This evening, 5018 views for Hoche, 5240 for the Schleswig Holstein. Competition is exciting, since both ships are rather out of fashion. Will all these oldies come to life (as models, of course) more and more after being ignored such a long time?

    Admiral Uschakov I have the one issued by Promodel I ordered five years ago, somewhat different, it seems to me.

    S.M.S. Schleswig Holstein, GPM, 1:200, Full hull

    The grey roof of the main turret, since it is not flat but slightly curved, is made of two sheets. It seems to me, after the picture, that you let the cutting edges white. Am I wrong?

    S.M.S. Schleswig Holstein, GPM, 1:200, Full hull

    Resistance Some people in my family in Normandy, living close to the shore, observed the sea from 1940 to 1944, and each one in turn (night and day!), in order to warn the Germans in the event the invasion fleet would come, and they were far from being alone in that region... In 1942, after the...

    Tsarist battleships Rostislav

    Jauréguiberry I forgot to mention the 274,4 side turrets. Until 1903 (cuirassés type Patrie), French battleships were fitted with 305 , 274.4 and 138.6, too many different shells to stock on a single ship, and this apart from the anti-torpedo guns (2 different calibers): French were convinced...

    Tsarist battleships Rostislav

    turret arrangement It is reminiscent of the innovative French battleship Jauréguiberry (laid on keel, 1891), one 305 front and back, and 8 X 138,6 in four turrets flanking the main ones. http://meltingpot.fortunecity.com/maldives/738/picts.htm whose manœuvrability impressed the Russians...

    1:50th scale yamato

    1/50th scale Four years ago, I enlarged some parts of the Beowulf from HMV, only for fun, and built up the twin front turrets with their base as well as the motorboat and dinghies of the battle ship Brandenburg: you have to take care with the thickness of the paper much more than usual. I...

    Palladio, Michelangelo and Wagner "Ah, Renaud, what if Michelangelo built the house AND painted the fresco? After all, Roman designed to model, AND made the CD cover! That 'at sea' pic has certainly attracted my attention!" (Tim) Roman's art is close to what Wagner called...

    Palladio and Michelangelo In Italy, five centuries ago, Palladio built exquisite houses he considered they couldn't be adorned with any fresco whatever could be the artist, Michelangelo included! And this would have prevented Jim to say: I bought a whole Palladio's house, just to stare at a...

    four guns turret French pre-WW2 battleships Dunkerque, Strasbourg, Richelieu and Jean Bart, had eight big guns, splitted into two front turrets only, to spare armour weight, on the other hand, the mechanism allowing elevation couldn't act them separately: the twins right were bound, and the...

    petropawlowsk I am interested in this build all the more as I design my Bouvet for two years now, and spend a huge time in the design of the hull itself, each bulkhead looking to a toboggan or a chute. I did some incredible diagramms and sketches to check my design. Moreover, the broadside...
