KM Blucher (Cont) "Moving Towards the Stern"

With the "bow" and "amidships" done it is time to move towards the "stern" of the ship, please note the obligatory cup of shipyard "tea" (see below):


All the gaps are now covered over (see below):


Just a case of building up the "pointy bits" at the back (see below):


Note: The KM Blucher had a brief combat life (1939-40), but her sister the KM Admiral Hipper lived through to 1945 (even venturing forth into the North Atlantic and fighting in the Battle of the Barents Sea) as did her infamous big sister KM Prinz Eugen (same armament but a bit longer and more sea worthy, Battle of the Denmark Strait and the Channel Dash).

    Cheers Tsold9000 I will have to take a You Tube wander for this

    Paul, if the model was placed on the lawn and viewed through the wrong end of a pair of binoculars, and you might get the correct scale effect
