Paul Salomone Posted May 31, 2013 Author #243 Posted May 31, 2013 Good morning all, Hello Augie, Johann and Daniel, thanks for looking in and for the kind words. as advised, I am posting some more pictures related to the tower searchlight construction. Here goes: Some scale plans of the 160cm searchlight taken from the "Anatomy of the ship - Bismarck". Due to the fact that I shall be needing 5 of these assemblies, I made a simple cardboard jig, to ensure the same measurements for both the support arms and the support foot. The first set of support arms needed for the searchlight housing. The support duckfoot, which supports both the arms and the searchlight housing. Shall be posting more pictures next week. mtaylor, augie and popeye the sailor 3 Cheers Paul NEVER RETREAT - NEVER SURRENDER JUST DO IT YOUR WAY AND NEVER LOOK BACK Current Build: 1:72nd German WWII Heavy Battle Cruiser DKM Scharnhorst http://modelshipworld...1:72ndDKMScharnhorst/ Future Build Logs: German WWII Captured Flower Class Corvette.

larry w Posted June 13, 2013 #249 Posted June 13, 2013 Hello Paul, I have just caught up with your log on scharnhorst, , and new web site, i have not been well lately, problem with ticker,so modelling been a bit slow , but i have finished the trawler and had it on pool , went well , still finding attention detail jaw dropping , and photos first class cheers Larry...
Paul Salomone Posted June 13, 2013 Author #250 Posted June 13, 2013 Hello Michael, Grant, Adrieke, Brian Mobbsie and Larry - Wow, do you mind if I go for politics, I really would appreciate your votes. I promise you all loads of modeling facilities and boating ponds. To tell you the truth Mobbsie, modestly speaking, I do feel a bit proud, but the hard work and hours of relentless research, are bit by bit taking their toll as well. The only good thing about it is that al lot of things were standard on all ships of the DKM, so if no information is available in the Scharnhorst sections, they may be found in other ships sections. But anyway - bit by bit getting there. Hello Larry, sorry to hear that you were ill, I hope that you are well now. Take things easy, we only get older by the day and not younger, so please just enjoy life. I still would like to see you again in Malta. Give my best regards to the Mrs. and the dog. larry w 1 Cheers Paul NEVER RETREAT - NEVER SURRENDER JUST DO IT YOUR WAY AND NEVER LOOK BACK Current Build: 1:72nd German WWII Heavy Battle Cruiser DKM Scharnhorst http://modelshipworld...1:72ndDKMScharnhorst/ Future Build Logs: German WWII Captured Flower Class Corvette.

Paul Salomone Posted June 17, 2013 Author #252 Posted June 17, 2013 Good morning all, The searchlight assembly is approaching it's final stages as well. But still more detailing to go in. Some pictures showing the progress so far. The support structure. The light housing with some of the detailing. The light housing put in place - just for the photo shot. A view from the rear. The searchlight installation, approaching it's final stages. A view from the side. A view from the rear. The future look when finished. A view from the front - nothing is fixed in place yet, just set up for the photo shot.

Paul Salomone Posted June 17, 2013 Author #254 Posted June 17, 2013 Hello Sjors, Thanks a lot. Unfortunately no - the searchlight is meant to be just a static model. if I had to light up all the ship, it would take me another 3 years to the planned three to get it ready.

Paul Salomone Posted June 18, 2013 Author #260 Posted June 18, 2013 Good morning all, Thank you all for visiting my build and for the ever lasting encouraging words - they are the keep on going pills for such a project. Hello Brian, yes I shall be finishing the model with an airbrush, keeping a standard pressure of 1.2 bars. The finish paint must be satin, in order to give a smooth finish with quick drying capabilities. More then that the paint must be all weather resistant, and diluted with cellulose thinner. Mix percentage is 60% paint with 40% thinner. Keep the airbrush at a distance of 12 to 16cm away from the model, depending on the type of piece, plus always keep a watch out on the trigger. Hello Sjors, I would really like to wire it up, but time is not on my side. Hello Grant, mark, Sherry and 4whelr - thanks a lot for your kind comments.

Today, I am going to post the last pictures related to the construction of the search light installation, as it is now awaiting the right moment for the finishing stages. Here goes: An overall view showing the detail and the bolt heads. A front view. A view from the side. A view from the other side. A close up view. An elevational view, displaying all the other parts, to be fixed in place during the finishing process. Now some pictures related to the last range finder making part of the tower. This is a 2 meter long range finder, and is situated just below the Admiral's bridge. The platform with it's sheet steel parapet wall. A view from the under side showing all support struts. The armoured base housing, on which the range finder sits. Starting off with the housing. Applying filler to create the taper edge.. The range finder housing well under way. The assembly ready for the next stage - detailing. A side view. A close up view. shall be posting more pictures next week. mtaylor, Piet, qwerty2008 and 5 others 8 Cheers Paul NEVER RETREAT - NEVER SURRENDER JUST DO IT YOUR WAY AND NEVER LOOK BACK Current Build: 1:72nd German WWII Heavy Battle Cruiser DKM Scharnhorst http://modelshipworld...1:72ndDKMScharnhorst/ Future Build Logs: German WWII Captured Flower Class Corvette.
