Paul Salomone Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share #151 Posted March 22, 2013 Hello Alex I quite agree with you. The bear represents a symbol of power and determination for the German states at that time. Hello Kevin Yes, I feel a bit pressed under heavy weights, from all sides. Even the club members want to see more detail. Poor me.

WackoWolf Posted March 22, 2013 Share #154 Posted March 22, 2013 Paul, Maybe next year on the way back from England I will stop by for a couple of days, and then I can she the ship in person. Not sure if I am going in November or not, so for now it is up in the air as to when, but it will happen. Quote Wacko Joe Go MSW :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Salomone Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share #155 Posted March 26, 2013 Good morning to you all fine ship modellers, Today, I am posting some progress pictures related to the work carried out during the weekend. Here goes. The armoured observation post is temporarily fitted in place, just for a snap shot. Note the masking used to mask the balcony planking. A close view from the rear, revealing the ribs. A view from the front. A view from the underside. A snapshot with the radar installation in place. A snapshot, with the admiral's bridge in place as well. A front elevational view. A view from the rear. Next in line is the search light installation post. (AJ-Press) A mean look of the tower from the front (AJ-Press) Shall post more pictures next week, as next weekend is Easter. Sorry guys no modelling - just Easter Eggs.
