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

finished front mast......

Hi friends,

the frontmast is finished. Sadly the pic with the overall view is no sharp.....next will be better.......

The place in the mast top was surely rather uncomfortable during a battle situation.
It was a major target of the enemies. The control station of the artillery.

and the rear funnel

Hi friends,

here a short tutorial. The etched funnel rings were difficult to built, so I made a model to preshape it...........

the model made of cardboard:

and the parts, before and after shaping

Wow, an outstanding job, Flu!

Always a treat to see your builds...not sure how I missed some of this thread until now. I've been rather busy, but this is one of a number of excellent ship build threads going on that are a delight to see!

You have made superb use of the photo etched set to add some awesome detail to an already awesome looking build. Great tip! Thanks!!

Cheers!

the rear mast

Hi folks,

I´m very happy that you enjoy my report, thank´s so far (I hope nothing goes wrong during the next stepps until the end :roll: )

So, today I want to give you an idea how I build the rear mast.

1. cut out and prepare all parts:

2. shape the EP very carefully ( the parts of GPM are extreme fragile, so it´s hard to do, the shaping is ok, but assembling with my stubby fingers is......:oops: :cry: )

3. assembling the rest is rather easy

Wow, FLU! Really enjoying this build! Makes me want to start a ship (although I doubt I will come close to your level of skill). Just need to motivate myself to finish the tank I'm working on! And today is looking very nice and the fish are calling to me.... What a dilemma!

the first barge.......

Hi friends,

thank´s for the kind words but don´t forget, the model is so nice bacause I never photograph my mistakes :grin: :grin: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

O.K., but let´s have a look at my first barge, I was a testbuild, for the next few boats I have to improve my technique a bit 8)
