Spooky spoon Posted May 7, 2021 #1 Posted May 7, 2021 I would like some advice regarding the selection of the next model that I intend to build. I am having trouble deciding between the SMS Seydlitz and the French pre dreadnought Condorcet. Both are from hobby boss and are in 1/350 scale. I initially favored the Seydlitz, but I recently discovered that the kit does not come with the torpedo netting shown on the box art. The detail up set from Infini which provides the netting is quite pricey, and appears to be above my skill level. Are there any other methods of obtaining the netting, or should I wait until I have the money (and skill) to buy the detail up set. Any suggestions will be appreciated. mtaylor and lmagna 2
ccoyle Posted May 8, 2021 #2 Posted May 8, 2021 Personally, I have a thing for pre-Dreadnoughts, so Condorcet gets my vote. Canute, yvesvidal and mtaylor 3 Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk. - Tuco Current builds: Brigantine Phoenix, Mitsubishi A6M5a

Spooky spoon Posted May 8, 2021 Author #4 Posted May 8, 2021 Also, any ideas about where I could get some rigging experience. The Seydlitz appears to have very complex rigging around the nets, and I want to be ready when I end up getting it. mtaylor and Canute 2
Haze Gray Posted May 8, 2021 #5 Posted May 8, 2021 Condocert is a good one, I think the French pre & semi dreadnaughts extremely visually interesting. mtaylor, yvesvidal and Canute 3 My Current Builds: The USS Maine - 1/72 3D printed Armored Cruiser (1889) USS Olympia, USS Texas, USS New York, HSwMS Tapperheten, Cerbere Ships I am currently designing or have completed in Fusion 360: German: SMS Scharnhorst, SMS Kaiser Sweden: Svea, Gota, & Thule (both early and later versions), Flygia France: French battleship Charles Martel, Dupuy de Lôme, Faucon (aviso), United States: USS Katahdin (1894) Ram ship, USS Monteray USS Oregon Japan: Mikasa, Fuso Russia: Izumrud, Novgorod Spain: Pelayo Great Britian: Turbinia (1894) - First ship with Steam Turbine, HMS Edinburgh (1882) Denmark: Tordenskjold Ships I intend on designing & building in the future: French: Jauréguiberry, Massena, Bouvet United States: USS Virginia, USS Brooklyn, USS Minneapolis, USS Ericsson, Russian: Rossiya, Peresvet, Bayan, Slava, Tsesarevich Brazil: Riachuelo Spain: Emparador Carlos V
