Some really incredible work there.   The camo looks amazing - in that second to last picture, it reminds me of that artwork with the 3D cubes and other shapes.  

 

Are those figures from North Star?

Thank you! Hope you like the camo:) The figures are from the North Star.

It's been a long time to come to the forum.

The ship is completed:) I will post it on the open competition day:)

Happy New  Year to you all!

It's been a long time updating this post. 

Buying on painting the whole ship and the figures.

Thanks to you all, the whole ship is almost complete.

Masts, Radar & crane😇

I’m loving your work Zero 

Thank you! I always refer to your work before I did my part. 

The boats from Trumpter are definitely disaster. The cockpit from those boats are solid square. I decided to use Veryfire for the replacement.  🤗

Really appreciate all of the supports! That really cheers me a lot. Billion  Thanks!

I have checked the 3D Kagero  and found that the railings(?Not sure how it should be called) is thinner than what the MK.1 design provided. And here comes the holes drilling challenge again

First time trying on the preshade of the planes. It take me hours but the outcome seems not bad. 

The MK.1 PE set does not include the canopy while the Infini does not provide details PE and weapons....

Here are the 10.5 cm SK C/33 guns. The above one is Trumpeter with MK.1 PE and the other one is Veteran.

The details of trumpeter is okay but you might choose Veteran for more details.

AA platforms support structure 😉

Adding details for the bridge. (Wires, ducts and vents)

Sonce I am making non-combat status scenario, the doors had to be drilled and keep it opened.

This build is shaping nicely. May I ask how did you make the weld lines?

Sure:) After masking like the pictures below, you may spray the mr.hobby surfacer for few times(3 to 5 times). If you wanna get a rougher lines, you can use the 400/600 ones. I used the 1000 in this model.

The more I think of it, once you get the woods deck down it won’t matter, there is a plate that sits at the front anyways. 

It seems that I have sanded too much and the alignment of the two catapults are imbalanced...One is higher and one is lower💀

The PE was so hard to bend. Therefore, I needed to burn it with a lighter so the PE became more flexible to work with. The gap between the PE was filled with putty.

The catapault replacement is a killer, took me a few days. I suggest you get some super thin plastic card perhaps? 

Hi RGL. Your work inspired me lot！ I tried the plastic card but the deck was badly damaged. At last, I needed to reshape the whole things again and again. Anyway, Thank you for your suggestion！

And here is the some work on the forehead.

One of the most difficult part during the build: saw an area of the flight  deck to install to catapult. 

But I failed and need to use putty to recreate the shape.....

There are strang holes on the ground of the working station inside the GZ....Can't understand why the Trumpter made these.

The ceiling is modified by the grid sticker.

The portholes were good enough. However, I did not want to waste the PE set so I drilled them and put on the PE.

I also created the wielding lines by disolved putty.

Hello all. Just registered few days ago. The project was actually stratered 7months ago. 

I chose Graf Zeppelin because it was my second most played ship in World of warship.(with highest exp record lol )

The ship is still building but I am sorting out different photos and would like to share with you. Please don't be hesitate if anything that I could improve.
