I always think it's a bit sad to see a ship in that condition, whatever the nationality.
Nice model though and it does portray a moment in history.

I do remember you model Ian.
I may go on and build some of the ships that were associated with the Graf Spee.

I think you could be getting hooked.

Please Haddock don't say those words " Zak I am your father" just because he has come over to the dark side.

I have now built the Graf Spee as in 1939, The Battle of the River Plate.
The second picture is just to show that there is actually two!

Not really it has taken a month or more to finish it.
Modelling seems to be hard work at the moment, but I am gradually getting a bit more done.

I think the hard work bit is the nature of the beast, all is sweetness and light till you start messing around with etched brass and rigging.

Etch brass and rigging are the "devils own children" - they test your patience and make you use words that should not be used.
