Well everyone I am calling my SMS Kronprinz build completed. She has her errors but I am satisfied with her looks. This was a fun build, not to many weird issues to correct. Didn't do any weathering as she will be on a display stand I would like her to look new, as built.

The torpedo nets are really parachute cord. The child's round shoe laces I order were still to wide and tall. The cord has a seperate center that unravel when cut so I had to use a lighter to melt the cords so they stay together. I wish I had a better method to fuse them together so there wouldn't be those lumps at the ends. They did look a lot worst but I trimmed them back as much as possible. I can live with it.

Kronprinz has two rudders but I misplaced one of them and couldn't find it anywhere so I had to go with the one. Of course as soon as I get the single rudder installed I found the lost rudder in the bottom of a box for another build I started on. By that time I had to much of the upper works installed to be turning her upside down to change it back. So one rudder will have to do.

I bend the main mast during filming, didn't notice it until posting the photos. Moved it back before putting her on the shelf.

Thats all folks. Like I said this was one of my more enjoyable builds, but I am ready to move on to another.
