Zero Posted November 26, 2020 #1 Posted November 26, 2020 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. popeye the sailor, Canute, Old Collingwood and 4 others 7
Zero Posted November 26, 2020 Author #2 Posted November 26, 2020 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. Landlubber Mike, mtaylor, ccoyle and 7 others 10
RGL Posted November 26, 2020 #3 Posted November 26, 2020 Fantastic, great to see another. Canute, Zero, Old Collingwood and 2 others 5 Greg
Zero Posted November 26, 2020 Author #4 Posted November 26, 2020 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. mtaylor, Old Collingwood, yvesvidal and 3 others 6
Zero Posted November 26, 2020 Author #5 Posted November 26, 2020 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..... Canute, mtaylor, Ryland Craze and 4 others 7
RGL Posted November 26, 2020 #6 Posted November 26, 2020 The catapault replacement is a killer, took me a few days. I suggest you get some super thin plastic card perhaps? lmagna, popeye the sailor, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Greg

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. Canute, mtaylor and popeye the sailor 3
Zero Posted November 27, 2020 Author #8 Posted November 27, 2020 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. S.A.A., Old Collingwood, Landrotten Highlander and 1 other 4
RGL Posted November 27, 2020 #9 Posted November 27, 2020 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. Canute, Zero, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Greg

It seems that I have sanded too much and the alignment of the two catapults are imbalanced...One is higher and one is lower💀 mtaylor and popeye the sailor 2

Jonald Posted November 28, 2020 #14 Posted November 28, 2020 This build is shaping nicely. May I ask how did you make the weld lines? Old Collingwood, Zero, Canute and 1 other 3 1

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. Landlubber Mike, yvesvidal, Jonald and 3 others 6
Zero Posted November 29, 2020 Author #16 Posted November 29, 2020 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. popeye the sailor, mtaylor, lmagna and 5 others 8

Zero Posted December 1, 2020 Author #18 Posted December 1, 2020 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. Landrotten Highlander, S.A.A., popeye the sailor and 5 others 8
Zero Posted December 3, 2020 Author #19 Posted December 3, 2020 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.... Lt. Biggles, Rik Thistle, ccoyle and 11 others 14

lmagna Posted December 4, 2020 #24 Posted December 4, 2020 It is hard to believe that those planes are 1/350th, not 1/48th or bigger!

Zero Posted December 6, 2020 Author #26 Posted December 6, 2020 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 Old Collingwood, ccoyle, Rik Thistle and 7 others 10
Zero Posted December 15, 2020 Author #27 Posted December 15, 2020 The boats from Trumpter are definitely disaster. The cockpit from those boats are solid square. I decided to use Veryfire for the replacement. 🤗 ccoyle, RGL, Lt. Biggles and 10 others 13
