Dear h,
You are not building a "model", you are building a ship. I have built "models" from kits. This is actual naval architecture in progress. I only wish it was a BB so you could add catapults and sea planes.

Good to see you back Himmelhund, was getting a bit worried.

Will you paint the ship as new or in a more used condition, with some rust and stuff?

Excellent work. You own a Model shop?
I always wanted to do something big like that but the wife would kill me. :lol: I am very interested in seeing more.

If you do build a BB can I have a ride on it??? :D

Dear j66,
Forgive an ignorant American, what are EMC mines?

Dear VDW,
Thanks for the link. EMC is just the designation one of the basic moored contact mines used by the Kriegsmarine in WW 2 for those who didn't check the link. Nice photos by the way. In a Doolittle Raid Alternative, I suggested the US Navy could have mined Tokyo Bay, any thoughts VDW?
