ArnoldAmbrose Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Gidday Pete, well done. For a first ship you've set yourself a very high standard to follow. You'll be doing more? May I ask, what scale is this one? Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courageous Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 As others have said, the bar has certainly been set high...beautiful. What we need to see are more pics, more pics and more pics. The sea base looks rather tasty too, what method did you use? Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete J Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 Courageous, The method I employed for the base I got from the book by David Griffith " Ship Models from Kits" the artists gel I used is a German product introduced to me by a fellow modeller from Hamburg Olaf Krabbenhöft, the name escapes me at present but when I get home I will post the name to you.

Pete J Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 I don`t get on with cameras very well so it takes me along time to get a decent photo, hence I don`t get many I am prepared to show but for those who kindly asked for more here is another shot of the Graf spee, the model shows the Gs as she looked when leaving German waters to take up station prior to the outbreak of WWII. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
