Well , now ain,t that something . I talk about papermodels and someone listened . I applaud your efforts my friend . My S.M.S.KRONPRINZ is ready for her final hull sanding ,before installing the armor belt. If any remember ,I stated that my ship ,being done in plastic . is being built using the 1/200 scale papermodel from a polish kit for patterns . Not difficult ,but interesting .I,ve not visited lately ,cause I have a client and the work is very demanding . The fact is , doing p.e. and resin in 1/96 with all the research that has been supplied by my client makes it even more interesting .Did you know that during the war ,the mods were more than what varied by ship , but by yard too ?? The fact of this little finding is that research is essential for an accurate model ,depending on what time of her life and war year you want to model. So this makes building warships more interesting . I just recently painted a ship in the shades of blue she sported in 1943 . Wow , what a strange looking ship in those colors .I don,t usually do camo or splinter but you know , my 1/350 ships look less boring now .I guess it was time to get it right instead of just what i liked. 2010 is going to see a lot of unusual paint schemes in my fleet , Now where did I put that silly putty ??. tankerbuilder
