In these days of intense gigant painting sessions (ok lots of other kits started but..) i'm going to search somethis easy to build almost OOB, just glue and paint it's clear that this is the wrong box for my intention but this kit was more than a time near to start, i really like the subject
The main goal is to achieve experience with structural rigging and use them to build the other giant montruosity in my stash! The zeppelin Staaken, from roden too
Box n sprues
Lots of unused parts was removed from sprues
Then pictures and work of about three night sessions:
Fuselage cleared from exctractors , glued some bulkhead in place and clear windows
Engines, both exhaust had a bad filling in the mould during the printing so i scratchbuild the two missing pipes with plastic rod
and partially glued , about two or three more pieces to complete engines assembly, nothing comparable to the staaken 4x high detailed engines
Various pieces glued and cleaned from flashes
and glued ona a sprue with CA glue to easier paint
Primed all necessary pieces for fuselage assembly
Engines nacelles with light grey
Inner fuselage paintd with fake linen (yellow and white mixed ) and attempt in the forwad sections to reproduce wood grain .Also two layers of glossy coat to protect paint
Other fuselage pieces patially finished
That's all for now, more works tonight i think
At the next!

WOW Bsyamato!! I love those giant machines as well, the Gotha seems to be building up well, with your extra work of course!

Re: A wrong relax build- Gotha Roden 1/72
Degrees? Try humidity. LOL! Humidity can wreck havoc while painting a kit. When I was down in Southern Maryland, humidity was like at least 67% or higher. Dead, stale hot air - no breeze. It gets worse after a rainstorm or even a brief downpour too.

Re: A wrong relax build- Gotha Roden 1/72
BSY, I do not know how anyone can consider such an intricate build as "relaxing".... More power to you if it truly is!
