[]Ok guys I am starting the build thread for POW. I will be posting pics here as teh build progresses. Just FYI for now...stay tuned.

Yeah!

I need to create a show case, etc for displaying our builds.

 

That sounds like a good idea.

 

Ok here are some pics of the KGV class battleship hull being prepped. I still have to drill out the holes in the corners of the panels before I cut the hull out.

PT1

Here is one set of plans that I am using. I have another that has the supertructure laid out section by section.I just need to resize it from 1/128 to 1/144.



The KGV hull is a Swampworks hull.





Using Painters 1/4 in masking tape masking of the hull begins.











Bow shot. The masking is completed. Next step is to drill out the holes.

 

Very nice Curt, cant wait to see more!

 

Looking good Curt this will be helpful when I built my KGV.

 

Hi. Well what a day yesterday. Sunny but cold and my butt is friggin sore sitting down on the hard grass. I got the POW cut out. Just need to pop out the panels between teh gunwale and the armor belt. The hull cut fairly easy. That was just one of the hulls. I cut out 4 Hulls yesterday. The others were Konig, GrafSpee, Von DER Tann. 10 dremel cut off wheels later and I looked like a GREY SNOWMAN.


I will post these here tomorrow.
