Title: "Prinz Eugene"
Post by: OLVAR on November 17, 2017, 08:32:52 AM
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 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.

The underwater hull got a dark wash and some scuff marks.

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)

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:
