hello guys , well DKM LEIPZIG had an accident so i would have to rebuild her , does anybody have a rib plan and deck plan ? ? And then i must repost my work or continue with this post ? ?

ahoy mr.richard , yes indeed she is a interesting ship and i made this post because people dont seem to try new materials or new techniques to shorten build time , any input or ideas are welcome

Hi Diederick
Leipzig is a interesting subject .I will be watching .Good luck !

ahoy haratio :wave_1: well those mould turrets look great and 1:72 scale would be quite big but i like the idea , do you have a 1:72 plan maybe haratio ? ?

nice start, if you built her 1/72 I could have molded turrets for her, once I get that method tackled.[attachment=1]Picture 212.jpg[/attachment][attachment=0]Picture 213.jpg[/attachment]this one bulged and looks more like the armor on a mark 4 panzer, but Im re making the mold thicker to see if I can get a better cast on the second go. the turrets on teh light cruisres and the secondaries on the battle cruisers, and battleships were the same demensions, with slight detail diferences weather they were dual, or triple gun mounts.

[quote="Diederick44"]well space isnt a problem for me :thumbs_up_1: since my models look tiny in my room and my models average 1.5meters in length . I cant afford model kits so i rely on pictures for details and ask here for how to make stuff help , and a workshop is such a nice place for any man to escape from the world , my workshop is my mini holiday sometimes :woo_hoo: , please show me your workshop when its done norbert[/quote]

ok i will do Diederick.. :wave_1:

[quote="Diederick44"]thank you norbert , well this isnt conventional building methods and i dont mind to rebuild but i am posting a experiment building method here but thank you for the compliment mr.norbert :woo_hoo:[/quote]

i agree you
i don't like so much conventional methods
for example and for space reason i am building the superestructure before the hull
for me is not a problem.
finally i am doing progress to build my workshop
i purchase a window and a door last week
i need this space to start my hull
p.s. the sun here is very very very hoooooootttttt today :cool_2:

thank you norbert , well this isnt conventional building methods and i dont mind to rebuild but i am posting a experiment building method here but thank you for the compliment mr.norbert :woo_hoo:

hi Diederick nice building
i will watching your thread with attention...
:wave_1:

i have decided on a glass fibre hull , less fuss and just as much fun plus low maintenance , is there a better replacement for resin ? ? Because resin is a pain to work off and to flatten

1.490 euros ! Dip me in dog sh!¥ thats blood money lad , that would cost me 3 front teeth plus a kidney to afford that :thumbs_up_1:

so this is what i have done up until now , my models dimensions are 1567mm overall length , 1496mm water line length , 144 mm beam and 117mm hull height (draft ? ?) :shipcaptain: man i love the sailing smiley

Hi Diederick,

I think you have to be registered for this forum, but they show quite a few photos which might be helpful for you:

There's even a kit of Leipzig - unfortunately pretty expensive:

now as i said i am trying something new here to see if my odd joint would be strong enough , comments and questions are welcome

still a lot of work to be done

ahoy again , i finished the amidship to aft of my model today and wanted to show you guys

ahoy lars :shipcaptain: well i picked a odd scale because people usually build things in 1:100 and so on . Leipzig is a very unique ship to me so the scale i wanted should have been very unique and thats how i decided on 1:113 just to add some flavour to the site and something new , the build itself is experimental

Hi Diederick,

1:113 is quite a unique scale. Have you ever thought of building in 1:100 which is quite common for DKM models? You will find a lot of bits and pieces for DKM-ships in 1:100 fon instance here: [url]http://www.shopssl.de/epages/es119126.sf/de_DE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es119126_MZ-Modellbau[/url].

Best wishes
