Trumpeter Graf Spee 1/350

Post by Tojo72 »

I haven't done a ship in a decade,usually do them out of box but I got an Artwox wooden deck and Aber Barrels.The kit came with PE rails,but I don't want to get ahead of my skis so we will see.

That looks really good.Nice work!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting the head off a Hydra, two more take it’s place.

PE rails are also my fear, keeps me from doing my German carrier "Peter Strasser", or Tamiya´s Mogami, or my 1/350 Titanic, or...

Maybe start with something smaller? A 1/350 S-Boot or U-Boot?

Heh... kinda reminds me of those Metal Earth PE kits. Some of them I wouldn't even try to attempt building due to the complexity of assembling one.
