Ahoy comrades of fresh water,
this is my construction of the "Prinz Eugen" by REVELL
It is 29.5 cm long, has the SKILL 3 and is covered by me with various Corel Paint X3 stuff.
First, I work on the underwater ship so that the grades disappear.
Then the screw shafts come into contact with adhesive:
I will paint the underwater ship with oil paint.
The ship is sanded with the finest sandpaper, cleaned and then painted with red paint.
I let it dry then.
With a soft bristle brush, I then easily wipe over the part.
Then the brushstrokes disappear and the underwater ship looks like brusht.
Again the disadvantage, the part must now dry at least a week that it is oil paint
Not drying in quick time has another advantage, I can take care of the textures.
I take the measurements off the deck, photograph the deck and adjust it in the program.
Draw everything off and my cover template is ready.
The textures
The deck I sprayed gray.
After drying, I brushed an oil mixture of black and turpentine.
Then the drawn deck was printed out, cut out and glued on:
Since the superstructures on the side walls are smooth I've just drawn something to stick.
First the sidewalls without textures and then with textures:
New pictures
The underwater hull got a dark wash and some scuff marks.
The main tower:
With my prince, the right wing of the on-board aircraft had not been cast with.
What would a model maker do there?
Exactly, do it yourself.
In this case, with paper (would have been funny even if I had taken something else ;D)
Various parts for the ship.
Do not ask me what that is all:
Before the end comes a look at the turrets.
Will only show what detailing there is on a scale of 1: 720 and the last parts come on board:
The end is here.
I drew a name tag for the ship:
Looking good.
Phew!
That is one heck of a great build.
So fast, you must have been on steroids!!
Well done Oli, we now must put on our running shoes to catch you up............
Cheers,

Again, some really interesting techniques. Food for thought here!
Another excellent job Oli
