  1. Dirk, I think it's borderline? I bought the kit dirt cheap, and it came with a Artwox wooden deck and chain (The deck is incorrect so I did not use it) but the chain is far more accurate than what Pontos gave. It may be 1/4 too big but better than getting a North star individual linked chain and taking a full week to make it up. Damn, this is going to nag me now. Jan you can't see it but I did manage a triple layer. Too much like hard work for mine.
  2. i Just hate doing the ships boats as I reckon they just look horrible. Thus cover them with canvas.
  3. Big guns done, even the triple levels on the barrels, they need some weathering yet plus handrails, which will be about a full day’s work.
  4. Starting to get the next lot done. Firstly the anchor chains with some extra detail for chain stoppers and hawser Home covers.
  5. Sorry, most of us don't have a spare 6 metres in the house to build one. Mind you sourcing the aircraft and the crew would be fairly easy. More teasers for the Seydlitz though, if you remember my Dreadnought, it can be done in a similar manner.
  6. The next lot in the paint cue, davits, focsle equipment, etc etc. I even ordered more carley floats. With soo many tiny pieces I have to alternate as I’d just go mad.
  7. AS previously stated, Pontos based this kit on Tamiya’s Prince Of Wales not the KGV. As such the central catapult area is a retrofit and there is no protrusions at the end of the Cats on the side of the ship provided and have to be scratch built. The 42-43 version did have the armoured splinter shields instead of railings and I have yet to add 8 single 20mm guns. Yes, I also have to fix up the paintwork and add some large scuppers.
  8. I’m watching another build of her on FB, it’s a very busy ship, a lot of detail
