Thanks a lot for your help:)

..and a little break to the lower structure....Rivets.

Are those Archer rivets? Looks like black dots but are they real...  I am really thinking to buy a rivet set because i had to sand some rows of my boats.

I bought a set of Archer's rivets and weld seams, and they are amazing. I was a little miffed to discover that there are only enough in the kit to partially replace lost rivets, no all of them.

Are those Archer rivets?

Yep,..really amazing Stuff this Surface Decals:).

[Nevermind4712]

Ok,..little Update, im a really slow Modeler,..i know;)

First i reworked the complete Lower Structure, the Floodholes have now a smaller Diameter, Rivets new and so on, and so on..., this need around 12 hours.




I have to fix some little Mistakes but its not much;)

Ok,..here is one Platform.
The Original from the Kit doesnt looks really like the Original,..here my Solution.



...after a long, long While with sanding:



Now we need a new band at the outside.



and now a dry fit with the wooden deck:



The next step ist to put little Pieces of Brass tube (0,5mm outside, 0,3mm inside) at the outside, there can be later the Rails go in.
But this is a thing from the next Update:)

and have someone a Pic from the AA-Rails???

good improvement aleady1

[Nevermind4712]

Ok,..im lazy but here a little Update:)


Same Procedure with the other Deck from the Tower




But now we have here some Holes



I used this from my last work at a wooddoor in my Home



And this is the Result, but carfully sanding, really carfully,..really sensible;)




Than i try some washes, filters with Oilcolours, Acrylcolours and everything what i find and this is the Result.






To get a darker look is used than this:




Ok,..than is use a Brasstube with 0,5mm outside and 0,3mm inside diameter where later comes the Reling in.
Bad Pic but i hope you see enough.





Need some tuning with Surfacer but is not a great Prob,..and i hate macro!!:\.

The Canal for the rope from the Snorkel, i reworked the Hatches from Eduard, this Boats have different Hinges as in the Set, i make them later with a Brasstube.
The Canal looks not straight, but it is... i think later looks okay.



Here you see the Containers, some work is to do and is REALLY hate Macropics:(.




and a little Dryfit...it works!!... i was really surprised about!:)




Dont look at the Gap,there is nothing to see if i glue the Parts together, was only a dryfit.

Ok,..tell me your meaning and give me your Tipps:)

S U P E R ! ! !
Wooden floor is superbly rendered, I like the idea of adding the brass tube sections to contain the wintergarden railing! getting the rid of those printed holes mustnt have been easy, but it was really worth the effort.  
Keep up the brilliant work!

ps: am with you on hating taking macro-pics!

I agree with the above posts - really fine, excellent detail work. These little things can add so much, and they definitely do on your boat! LOVE the drain lip and the stanchion posts and all.

Exceptional work on both the deck and CT.  I really like how you prepared and weathered the deck.  How is the quality of the Abteilung 502, reminds me of schwere PanzerAbteilung 502 by the way  , oil paint and the Mig aging solution.  Nochmal sehr, sehr

[Nevermind4712]

Hey!...thanks for the Compliments but i see myself as a intrested Beginner,..is my first Boat and my first work in 1/72,..have to learn a lot:)

@Le Bosco

But one thing,..please...finish the master from the 3,7cm gun,..i need it in a few Month

@Rokket

Thanks a lot:).
My work lives from "copy and paste" and than i think i have to work something new and try to put new ideas on it.
If it works?...dont know...we see it:).
But it makes fun!!

Hi Guys:)

Little Update and a little break from the CT:).

I Start with the Hull and the Torpedodoor and was a little feary about and i see that i have to learn something;)







In this Moment is ask myself HOW your Guys put this thing in,..looks sooo easy and i try and try and try and looks crap:(







Ok,..than the Horror,..there was a edge on the Top,..dont know how it comes (think it comes up befor the glue was dry).



Ok...i decides to fill and sanding because i was really feary that i destroy the Doors if i start from the begin.
next negative was that i kill the Surfacedetails,...but doesnt matter,..is a little Problem.
The other Problem was that i try "oilcanning" and i lose in this theme:(

Ok,..than fill the gaps and start this new,..only from hand with sanding,..think is better:)

First the Doors,..after around 2 Days and 10 Times filling and sanding...much better:)



Start to get the Pressure Hull a kind of Structure and reworked some Strips.



Start to fill the "oilcanning" and sanding, put a missing strip on.



Ok,.now it looks a little bit better:)
