RGL Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share #94 Posted June 1, 2019 Now to tone and highlight, using AK Kriegsmarine filter. This stuff is incredibly strong so it needs a lot of diluting but it works well bringing out highlights. If you use it strait out of the bottle it splotches. I intend to do some pin washes next then some dry brushing to bring out the panels and ringols. popeye the sailor, cog, yvesvidal and 17 others 20 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salty Dog Posted June 3, 2019 Share #98 Posted June 3, 2019 Fantastic Greg! I don't think I've seen that many portholes since the Titanic! You know I like to leave my PE unpainted.

Yves Basically look at photos of real ships to look for rust points, and see how it flows down the hull. As the side of this hull is so large I can’t imagine upkeep at sea would be easy. Pretty much a process of sponging on some black or using a brush , then dark rust then light rust.

yvesvidal Posted June 5, 2019 Share #116 Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) Greg, I hope you do not mind me posting these pictures here, but the Italian Artist Perinotto just published the Tome 4 of his drawings with two very interesting drawings: Notice the carriage/cart holding the Me-109, and used as a catapult on the deck of the Graf Zeppelin.

ccoyle Posted June 5, 2019 Share #117 Posted June 5, 2019 Pardon me if this particular topic got discussed earlier, but it's kind of interesting to speculate about how effective GZ would have been in actual combat. The Americans and British had practiced carrier operations and tactics for many years before the start of the war, and even so they went through teething troubles after the shooting started. Even if the DKM had enough escort vessels to provide an effective screening force (they didn't), I doubt that GZ would have posed much of a threat, just as Bismarck and Tirpitz ultimately posed little strategic threat.

cog Posted June 5, 2019 Share #118 Posted June 5, 2019 Maybe not a strategic threat, but it would have been something which would have to be taken into acount, very seriously. As Bismarck and Tirpitz did cost resources which could not have been deployed elsewhere, so would Graff Zeppelin, maybe even more since it would potentially bring airplanes in range of allied targets which hitherto were not mtaylor, popeye the sailor, Old Collingwood and 1 other 4 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."

RGL Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share #120 Posted June 6, 2019 Yves, when I get to the top of the boat I’ll get to the Cats etc as I’ve been saving up some images too, but thank you. Mr Coyle, my posit was no Russia and No USA in this scenario. I understand that the Nazi’s could never have won since they kicked off Barbarossa. The impact on Enigma’s loss on the Uboat war was devastating on Germany. I framed the scenario in such a way they could have an impact and it’s the only viable usage of them. The WW2 photos of convoys of aircraft carriers really do show what the outcome could only be. If the Soviets did not stop at Berlin........ Harley, apparently enamel for paint was in short supply and a big tall ship like would be near impossible to paint at sea.
