Hi ya all!
I put the decks in as well as the props, and some odds and ends on the deck including the torpedo launchers, that will be concealed by the armoured "scull cap" bridge.

Again the props won't load. How bazaar?

Thanks for watching.

Very nice progress, Gavin @snowman

Hi ya all,

Not so Schnell, but slowly as it's a mission to paint all these bits. I've slowly begun populating the deck with funnels, lockers, cleats and the like.
Once its all in place, I'll lightly weather the boat.

Till next time, thanks for watching.

Solid progress, Gavin @snowman
Indeed quite some details to work on.

Hi ya all! Still recovering from a chest infection, so not too much happening with the Schnellboot, but I did tinker with the liferafts after seeing aftermarket versions which I am strictly trying to avoid.

So I decided to invest in some scale rope of various dia’s. This is my little extra detailing to add a bit more dimension to somewhat bland stock life rafts, using 0.5mm scale rope.

I must honestly say, this exceeded my expectations.

I also manage to paint the life rings (preservers)? Not sure what is the correct term, but anyway not terrible.

Does anyone have any images of how the anchor attached to the rope for the Schnellboots? I don’t like the way they are showing the rope on the front deck and a random anchor. That’s almost pointless, as if they are trying to fill the deck space…

Anyway, thanks for looking and till next time. :vulcan_salute:t3:

Looking great indeed, my friend @snowman!

I have been dragging my feet with regards to the railings as they are numerous and fiddly. But I finally managed to paint them and fit them.

All that needs to be done is some ropework, the bridge, the flag and the guns and maybe a spot of weathering...?

Well, that's all for now and thanks for watching.
