beefy66 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 OK making a space for a long term build (Yes another one) but with a difference a sort of WHIF or WTF if you prefer. I,ll be using the Trumpeter 1/350 PETER STRASSER Aircraft carrier kit but going to bling it up with the INFINI detail upset for the Graf Zeppelin hence the title now Zeppelin was launched and used as target practice and evaluation by the Russians after the end of WW2 So this will just be my imagination going wild for some reason while doing a bit of research on this I found a build by Hyun Soo Kim based on the world of warships game and camouflage scheme bit like the dazzle scheme that Tirpitz wore at some point So it will be a slow one and a learning one for me but if anyone wants to join in with some help or just entertainment please do so. here we go with some box and bits shots the detail set is quite full 😱 Even has a flying saucer kit too 🤔 can you guess where I got these from Like I said it will be slow Stay Safe beefy 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry L Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Will be following with great interest and restraint. Have the Zeppelin in the stash and am looking at the aftermarket sets for a build, however, I have to do the Titanic first or the CIC,👩🦰, will have my head for exceeding the naval budget.😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learned my lesson with that method. Stay Safe beefy 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the beauty of a whif is that you can let your imagination run a little bit, or a lot. On day I'd planned on converting a Prinz Eugen kit into Weser (nee Seydlitz), so I'll be interested in how this turns out.

Not quite anything Stuart I will not be building the fly saucer 👽 And so It has started couple of hours last night at the art class ?? or so we are now known instead of model club if the politicians can get away with it why not join them loopholes. Hull halfs glued and some main parts dry fitted and some brass work that will go with it And a bit play with some other parts So the ZEP looks like it did coming out of the ship yard now Stay Safe beefy 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Well, that bit of 'art' is rather big. Where are you going to dock it when it's built? Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robgizlu Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Agree with Stuart - big old thing and lightening progress by my standards. As to Art - 3D - Yes IMHO Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart funny but the missus was asking that same question last night and she said I should get a display cabinet for the model room I have learned a long time ago not to argue so will be paying a visit to IKEA soon 😉 1 hour ago, robgizlu said: Agree with Stuart - big old thing and lightening progress by my standards.

ArnoldAmbrose Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Gidday Beefy, that's an interesting size comparison in the photo. That's one of the reason I like to work in one scale only, albeit a different scale from you. Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Fester Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Beefy, you will enjoy making the PE AA guns in the infinity set. 🥴 Good progress and if you need anything 3D printed give me a shout. I have some extra anchors if you need em. Cheers Doc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGL Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 So, a 2fer, another GZ builder. Have at it, the Strasser always had huge potential as a helicopter attack ship too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
