1:100 scale scratch build SMS Preussen

Post by walter »

Here are some pictures of my scratch build SMS Preussen. The SMS Preussen belonged to the Braunschweig class consisting of 5 battle ships. They where build between 1902 and 1904. At the start of world war 1 they where all obsolete. I picked the ship for its interesting look. But found out it was quite a challenge to build. It nearly took 3 years to build and there where moments I questioned my judgement to pick a difficult model like that. But at the end it was all worth it. It is fully radio controlled and looks great at the pond.

Amazing... I'm not into ships but recognize great craftmanship when I see it! Really well done!
1:16 was my scale. Until 'Konan' came into my life... an Armortek 1:6 Tiger 1!
... Now followed by a Panther G, 'Gunther'!

I'm a happy man. 8)
