joe100 Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) Greetings, I recently finished the German battleship Scharnhorst 1943 in 1/1800 scale. Upper hull is 3d printed, lower hull and the rest of the details scratch built. The base is just temporary since the custom case was still on order. I will take some updated photos as she's now full mounted. Next up is a full hull ocean liner, NDL Europa, my favorite of the 30s greyhounds. Simultaneously I'm going to be working on the Japanese heavy cruiser IJN Maya. Maya will be 1/1800 scale and Europa around 1/2000.

DSiemens Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 I'm extremely impressed at the amount of detail you have at such a small scale. You're work is also very clean and sharp. What materials do you use? JesseLee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe100 Posted February 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Thanks! The lower hull is styrene with a wooden core, upper hull is 3d printed high definition acrylate. The rest is brass, styrene, stainless etc. Rigging is Modelkasten monofilament. Landlubber Mike, JesseLee, IgorSky and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe100 Posted February 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Here are some build photos of both Scharnhorst and Kongō. It's hard to see the details without the paint, black plastic and all. Few views of Kongō from my other thread: Edited February 20, 2017 by joe100 DSiemens, John Zuch, IOAN and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get very frustrated when I can't move quickly between the two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
