Also I don’t know how to put the word “finished” in the title of this build log...😕 Well dispite your poor camera, crappy lighting, and terrible background, you've got a great model. Well done. I will certainly follow your endeavours on your next build semorebutts, Old Collingwood, mtaylor and 3 others 6 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."

Semore, from here the only difference I can see between your model and some other highly-rated ones is that yours has perhaps slightly less weathering, but your crisp painting and neat metal work looks right up there to me.

semorebutts Posted March 10, 2019 Author #1241 Posted March 10, 2019 Thank you everyone! ccoyle - i agree about the weathering. It scares me when I think about it. I ‘am working on a 1/35 israeli tank when im not working on the MO. I think I am going to practice weathering on the tank to see how it turns out. Especially rust. lmagna, popeye the sailor, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote

zygote01 Posted March 16, 2019 #1254 Posted March 16, 2019 I am thinking about buying this kit but am a mite confused as to which detailing set(s) I will need to buy to improve it. I have been onto the Pontos site but they do not give much detail as to what is contained in each upgrade kit. Could you please advise as to which upgrades to buy? Thanks.

Erik_1991 Posted July 23, 2019 #1255 Posted July 23, 2019 Hi there Semore! Holy.. Damn.. ****! I stumbeld across this thread yesterday.. And i binge-read the whole thing! (Well, kinda, as a sailor i don't have 4G phone connection all the time) But what a build! Awesome, just awesome. All the details and tiny work you've done! Amazing! I've build a 1/350 Bismarck when I was a kid (12 y/o tops). But the vessel has not survived and was looking to build this kit of yours as well! But sinds it had been quite some time building a model i'm starting with a tamiya Nissan Primera P10e JTCC. And hope i have 25% of the skills you have and proceed to the Bismarck afterwards! H/T for this build! Enjoyed reading and seeing the whole thing come together! Greetings from the Netherlands (Well actually from the North Sea atm) Erik popeye the sailor and Canute 2 Quote
Danro Posted September 2, 2019 #1256 Posted September 2, 2019 @semorebutts mind if I ask you which PE set you used for the handrails? I never saw those with the "chained" look. mtaylor, popeye the sailor and Canute 3 Quote
VAmodeler Posted December 7, 2019 #1257 Posted December 7, 2019 I'm about to start this model. Wondering how you will paint the camo on the superstructure? I was planning to dry assemble the main components and put them on the hull and deck before assembling any detail so I can tape it up. Canute and popeye the sailor 2 Quote
