    1/72 scale German light cruiser Munich - Page 9 Pictu311I don't know why but after I post pics on one site it only lets me post one on this one. Anyway her is where I have gotten to on the Hull on the Munich. I am going to sand her down with 400 grit sand paper and prim her. Then I am going to wax polish her then cast a few sets of molds. Then I think I'll use this as an operational piece for building and testing the parts. So it will end up as a static model for me. I can make the rc and toy stuff from the molds.

    1/72 scale German light cruiser Munich - Page 9 Pictu321I have a little progress and some set backs, as Paul can tell You. He's been watching me on The Jolly roger also. Anyway I had to add hight to the top of the ship as the second deck was 5 and a half foot tall which is a short man to say the least. so I set it to 8 foot 3 inches in scale which is to the plans. I think I ran into this problem when I hat to alter the bottom and I mismeasured the Torpedo and stern hight. Thank goodness it was an easy fix, as teh rest of the ship is to demension, just not the second deck heigth.

    1/72 scale German light cruiser Munich - Page 9 Pictu322I keep putting the Cart in front of the Horse, but at least I'm learning. I am going to repair any areas that need fixing and get ready to Mold her, but on teh next one I am definatly going to make sure she is baby butt smooth and to shape. Depending on how good this comes out is going to determine if I use the Foil tape on the mold plug from now on. I do like the effect, however I think I should have waited till I had a Figerglass hull then used this techniuqe so I could set it up for resin cast, but I'll see how it transfers here. Experience is definatley the best teacher.

    Hello Haratio, Very Happy

    I admire your will to plan future projects. It's good to carry out research on the subjects you plan to construct. But the most important thing, is that to continue your focus on the light cruiser.

    Cheers.

    I took your advise and sanded down the overlaps and I like the way the second pattern came out. now after I prep it and make some molds I can return to detailing it for further display. and start engineering where to place the portholes and cooling collection vents and such. then eventually the fun stuff. The superstructure, and guns and deck details.

    the final cast shows me that I need to make a thicker mold to hold the shape better, and to ad the plaster gauze after more coats o I dont get pieces in the casting.1/72 scale German light cruiser Munich - Page 9 Pictu3571/72 scale German light cruiser Munich - Page 9 Pictu358

    1/72 scale German light cruiser Munich - Page 9 Empty side project

    Post  Haratio Fales Sat Mar 02, 2013 6:44 pm

    Hello to You all in Italia. My big project has been at a stand still other than me studying Computer Aided Drafting and saving money for a 3D printer. It has been snowing so much here I havent been able to build the rest of my workshop, but spring is on the way. I have been working on a small side project in 1/350 scale to keep doing somthing with modeling. I have a hull made from Balsa wood that I was making for a K class cruiser like Karlsruhe, or Koln. I redemensioned it for the demensions of the Spahkruezer, or Recon destroyer that was part of the Z plan. Being in this small scale I thought it should be easy to rob the guns and superstructure parts from kits that I have in the closet. Let me know what You think.1/72 scale German light cruiser Munich - Page 9 Pictur13
