RGL Posted February 27, 2020 Author #31 Posted February 27, 2020 And finished. I’ve added some images of the ex A-59 alongside Emden for scale Jack12477, ccoyle, JohnB40 and 11 others 14 Greg
Red Rhino Posted February 27, 2020 #32 Posted February 27, 2020 Wow Greg, you made fast work of that! The weathering is exceptional. Quite a contrast to your Emden. Dave RGL, Canute, Jack12477 and 1 other 4
RGL Posted February 27, 2020 Author #33 Posted February 27, 2020 I’m awaiting upgrades from Russia for my next major build, but for the next few months it will be Zara american, mtaylor, ccoyle and 3 others 6 Greg
amateur Posted February 27, 2020 #34 Posted February 27, 2020 Next few months? The last months your building speed was higher (or is Zara a super-super detailed kit?) Your torpedoboot came out very nice! Jan Canute and mtaylor 2
RGL Posted February 27, 2020 Author #35 Posted February 27, 2020 I’ll try and upgrade it a bit, just awaiting the details set from Hong Kong Canute and mtaylor 2 Greg
lmagna Posted February 27, 2020 #36 Posted February 27, 2020 I'm surprised that Captain Muller allowed that rust bucket to even get close to his magnificent cruiser! Great upgrade to a very needy kit. One would never guess it's humble beginnings. ccoyle, Canute, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey
yvesvidal Posted February 27, 2020 #37 Posted February 27, 2020 Amazing work and craftsmanship as always Greg. The Italian Cruiser Zara is an excellent and unusual choice too. Don't forget to do some French vessels too... 😉 Yves Canute, lmagna and mtaylor 3

RGL Posted February 27, 2020 Author #41 Posted February 27, 2020 Only 1/400, I did consider her, but finally decided it’s out of scale. If there was a decent upgrade set for the pre dreadnoughts I’d be all over it. yvesvidal, mtaylor, lmagna and 1 other 4 Greg

Heller only produced most of their ships at the scale of 1/400, which of course, was done long before 1/350 was adopted as the preferred scale for war ships. Now, HobbyBoss/Trumpeter has these two French Dreadnoughts: Voltaire and Condorcet. They also have Danton, but just the name of that individual is repulsing (he was instrumental in getting thousands of people be-headed after the Revolution). Another interesting vessel is the Submarine Surcouf, equipped with a massive gun and a plane: More modern, you have the large Cruiser/Battleship Strasboug and Dunkerque. Not much choice in 1/350, unfortunately. Yves Edited February 28, 2020 by yvesvidal Old Collingwood, mtaylor, Canute and 2 others 5
Canute Posted February 28, 2020 #43 Posted February 28, 2020 Nice work, as usual, Greg. Nicely done. Hmm, Voltaire looks intriguing.
