Gentlemen thanks for the thumbs up.

 

Finished the first part of the planking of the decks, quite a puzzle, but i am happy with the result,I'll Do not know exactly if the pattern used for the planking is correct, looked at a lot of pictures from other models of the Scharnhorst and not 1 is the same, So i decided to choose for this pattern, not the easiest way to go, But the easiest way is not my way :)

Finished the other 2 decks of the gun citadel. And made some of the windows

Also made the coal hatches in the decks.

And did some work on the front deck.

 

Below a few pictures, telling more than words..

Gerard,

Thanks for respond, I saw it today too, great that they finally found her, 

hopefully in the future they will leave her in peace, and respect the fallen, 

Remarkable to see how good was the condition of the wood on her frond deck.

 

speaking about deck, still working on the last part of her deck, quite a puzzle too go.

below a few pictures.

This deck reminds me of 18th century "marquetterie". It truly is a piece of art.

 

What technique did you use between the planks, to simulate the caulking?

 

Yves

 
first I tried it with pvc electrical tape, stuck to one side of the wood and then saw boards of it

so I had cut a stock to work from.
but discovered that the glue from the tape will come loose for a while.

had tried several types of PVC tape from cheap to expensive, all more or less the same result
This is mainly due to the warmth that we have here in the Caribbean.

That's how I came up with the idea of painting the wood on both sides in black and then saw boards of it

the two sides laid together, give me the perfect caulking seam.

That is a new one on me but it seems an excellent idea Boris - I must try it some time.

Because it’s still Christmas time and decoration time, I decided to decorate my lady too 😀

 

Made the decoration for the bow 
some of the stairs and the spare anchor.

 

below a few pictures .

 

Would like to wish all of you over here, happy days to come, and a good and prosperous 2020.

Boris - not quite sure how you did the decoration but it looks mighty fine. I would be interested to know a bit more detail of your technique.

Keith,

 

The idea came more or less, because i did not have a choice, so sometimes you have to be inventive.

i went out to the "local hobby shop" to buy fimo polymer clay, to make the decorations and to make a kind of copy of the bow section to work from.

but due to the fact that i live on a island and modeling is something that i absolutely not alive on this island, i came out empty handed,

 

so i went to the building market, and found wood repair epoxy putty and a plastic repair epoxy putty, so i bought 2 types, the wood epoxy has to be hard dense and fine structure  for the copy of the bow section, to make a negative copy and a positive copy, but with a medium till fast reaction/cure time

 

and the plastic epoxy with a medium/ long reaction/cure time, and super fine structure

 

i protected my bow with some tape, and added the wood epoxy on the bow section(negative), after that it is almost set I removed the epoxy from the bow section, let it cure completely 1 hour, than i treated the inside with some light grease, applied the wood epoxy on the inside(positive), and removed it when it was completely cured.

 

than i treated the positive very very lightly with some white grease. builded up my decoration from the plastic epoxy, on the copy of the bow section, shaped it with micro carving and clay tools.

let the epoxy almost cure completely, than i used a sewing line to remove the decoration from the bow section, let it cure completely 3 hours. 

 

some primer, paint and ready !!

 

hope it helps you.

 

The brand of the epoxy putty i used is J-B Weld.

Thank you very much for all the thumbs up. 
 

started to work on the first gun tower. As it is a partly kit, I decided to remake the tower again, did not like the one that came with the hull.


after studying old pictures and looking for some existing models I came to the following result. 

below a few pictures. 
(Still work in progress)

It's difficult to view your craftsmanship without just grinning. Very well done is an extreme understatement. 

Cheers, Harley<p

From modeling to fixing a leak in your engine oil pan - J-B Weld has a solution.  Very nice bow decoration Boris - excellent delicate work.  The ship is beautiful and progressing nicely.  Thanks for sharing it with us.
