    That hull is looking really good, it must be quite fiddly at that scale.

    Love that last picture !!! I'll be following this one for sure....

    That is looking so good, the level of detail you have achieved on the main superstructure and mast is extraordinary. I definitely know what you mean about the to-do list that seems to get longer the more you do !!

    Small world ! I've been getting exactly the same bits and pieces together for my next build once i finish my current project. Don't forget the Kagero book which will be a great help (think its out of print but world of books had a copy last time i looked). There is also a scratchbuilt one in 1/100th on the NRG site that might be worth having a look at. https://modelshipworld.com/topic/20095-sms-emden-by-boris279-finished-1100/#comment-612800

    That hull is coming together very nicely !

    Blimey what a great result and only your second model !! If there are any mistakes i can't see them. The build, weathering and rigging all look spot on to me. Welcome aboard.

    That is just stunning, well done !!!

    that is absolutely lovely, you've really captured the sea perfectly (and the ship itself). I've also been fallen down the Studio Blue Ocean rabbit hole and am going to have a crack at a seascape when i eventually finish my current project.

    I can't really add anything that hasn't been said already, inspiring and a magnificent end result. Very much looking forward to following your next project.

    Lovely work on this and quick too !! If you are in 2 minds about mounting it as a waterline maybe have a look at "Studio Blue Ocean" on youtube, his seascapes look great and the hull remains intact.

    That is looking absolutely superb !

    Looking good so far, i'll be following along. Just in case you aren't aware someone is scratching on of these at 1/100 on the NRG site and you might get some useful info from looking at their WIP https://modelshipworld.com/topic/29314-sms-karlsruhe-by-wreck1919-1100/

    Great progress Steve, as always your brass work is inspirational. Still seems a bit of a shame to cover it in paint.
  14. theskits62
    Very impressive work on what is probably one of the most bizarre looking ships i think i've ever seen ! It looks like it shouldn't even float but then from your comments it sounds like it struggled.
  15. theskits62
    Fantastic work, the level of detail is wonderful. Those "I" frames are deceptively hard, it took me 4 attempts in plastic, how you manage in brass is beyond me !
  16. theskits62
    That is looking really good, I can't believe how quickly it is coming together !!
  17. theskits62
    Amazing work !!
  18. theskits62
    Thats a beauty and as everyone has said already the water is superb.
  19. theskits62
    That is a great looking result that you should be very proud of !!
  20. theskits62
    That looks great ! I couldn't resist having a go on the mold i used to vacform the boat for my Lancelot. I used vaseline as a release agent which seemed to work fine. Its amazing how strong the end result is so i think next time i may just use this approach.

    Hi - i might be wrong but i think a lot of the deck was covered in a linoleum so you might not need all of the parts in the Hunter set. I think Pontos also do a set for Emden and they only include the central sections and search light platforms.
  22. theskits62
    That is really impressive, very hard to believe that its a scratch project, the detailing is superb.
  23. theskits62
    Well done on your first scratch project, it looks great. Looking forward to seeing it in RFI.
  24. theskits62
    Thats a really useful set of pictures i'm going to save the link for that rainy day.... Thanks for sharing
  25. theskits62
    Great start ! I'll be following this with interest. Haven't bought one yet but would love to at some point.
