Re: NöNö Bärs Shipyard (WIP: Dutch Coast Defense ship, still unnamed)

[NARSES2]

It's a really interesting mix of old (the hull and funnels) and new (the armament) 

[nönöbär]

Most parts are in place now, missile launchers, radar, anti-aircraft guns. A few little things are missing and then the PE-party begins.....



The upper after deck has been modified with AA-guns and the huge radar devices.

It's a really interesting mix of the old and the new

That's really nice. I'm going to have to see which WW2 light cruisers i have in my stash.

Deulaegon Sum, last seen steaming towards Guam...

As the ship section is pretty empty here, lets start something new.

This time -as a preparation for a bigger non WhatIf - this is the kit to be modified:




Its a 1/500 scale kit of the M/S Pitsudski by Mirage. It will definitely not go by its original colors, so where is what has been made so far:

[NARSES2]

Interested to see what you do with this

Quite some headbanging was required, this kit is quite bad. Does not fit very well. Anyway, the first rounds of painting have been done, and I just stick all parts together to see who it will look like:



A detail pic of the bow (which has been mostly completed so far):


Hull will be painted next and work continues on the superstructure.
In parallel, I do some tests for the decals, quite unsure it it will work what I wanted to do here.

[NARSES2]

Nice details 

[nönöbär]

The hull is painted now and first deck parts at the bow and stern have been added:




Just to get a feel how it will look like, all prepared parts are put together:



Work will now continue on the superstructure, tests for the decals continue.

[nönöbär]

Things are coming together now, almost all of the superstructure has been added:





Now working on all the lifeboats. And still experimenting with the decals for the ship.

[nönöbär]

Now working on the smaller deck details and the lifeboats. and there are a lot of them....

[NARSES2]

I'm really looking forward to seeing the end result with this one 

[nönöbär]

After quite a break - my engineer was out of town and so I could not continue to work - some little progress on the cruise ship:



The first try for the decals ended in a little disaster, so I have to make some new ones, but it they seem to be better now. Still need a bit of work until I can add them to the model

Glad to see you back on this
