Launch Day is upon us! :champagne: Laid down 24 March 2022, completed 6 May 2022.





The rigging was a new experience for me but I am happy with how it came out. My eyes may never be the same again though :nerd_face:




And of course I always like to put my new ships next to my other models to get some context in size.

Next to HMS Warspite who she would have met at Jutland.


Next to a half built V&W destroyer.

And next to USS Missouri (which I didn’t bother dragging from the case). You can also kinda compare to a Type VII UBoat, a LHD and a Littoral combat ship

I really wanted to have her flying the Imperial German navy flags however the decals have just upped and vanished on me. I believe I put them somewhere for safekeeping. At some point I will find them and attach them.

@Russelle Railings went on pretty well for the most part. Some inconsistencies with stuff lining up and some interesting folds along the casement roof but easily fixed. Not sure about a feature article. Will think about it.

Thanks for following along and I will see you all soon for something a little bigger :smiley:
