WOWSERS!! That is a whopper, that you're building. Many moons ago I built a 1:600 of the Bismark & Graf Spee...... memories


I really dig the intricate PE work, must be hell on the eyes!!


Looking really good thus far, keep it up!!

Thanks for the comments


Snowman, not only is hell on the eyes, it also is the frustration of the carpet monster as it gobbles up a small part that pings out of the tweezers. I must be a glutten for punishment as I always come back for more.

Nicely done Graham.

Looking good! I'm moving over to ships - have a Trumpeter Dreadnought. in between finishing off my Matilda tank, and getting to grips with the PE! I think it may be addictive! I have bought wooden decks too, but am sceptical about the planking and caulking scale, it does look gorgeous, but I reckon the caulking lines are far too thick! On a side note, I think that with all that PE, the Tamiya approach to less plastic actually works well. Not impressed with the Trumpeter instructions and mouldings, but am in heaven with the PE!

I don't know how I missed most of this, but caught up now. Some great, even if a little slow work Graham.

Well, at last the only thing left to do is the rigging, the triangle bits hanging from the main mast will be part of the rigging

I've always really loved this model and built it twice, neither survived!! Yours is a superb example and just goes to show what an amazing model can be made from this kit. I also eventually purchased a built one from Tamiya, I hadn't the heart to build it again, and yours really looks a lot better than the proffessional build.

Superb Graham you've really done a great job on a poorly detailed kit nicely done

Just jumped in on this bruiser of a kit and the amount of pe would just scare the bejeezers out of me.


I've tried working with pe and although it looks more detailed and realistic to the plastic it just scares me to much


It looks awesome really the top range of the kit


Can't wait to see more
