Thanks everybody and by the way, here are two shots of the meanwhile completed model.
Over my new project, I had completely neglected this thread.
Sorry for that!

Best regards
Stefan

After a long time of idleness I finally made some tiny steps towards completeness.

Malcom,

it's just made of a 1.2mm styrene stick with a piece of 2.5mm styrene tube glued on top.
Cutting the top with the right angle and some sanding, that's all.

Thanks Phil.
of course she will be completed in "near future" (which means in less than one year ;) ).
To be honest, I haven't yet made up my mind about the final destination of my model.
My wife is not entirely enthusiastic about a warship in our living room so she will either stay in my office or find some place for public display.
Maybe I ask the nearby "Schiffahrtsmuseum" to show it as "counterpart" for their uboats.

Best regards
Stefan

Stefan,

You have created a beautiful model! I have enjoyed every step of this build that you have posted. I really appreciate your attention to details.

So, when you have finished it (assuming you ever really finish it), what do you plan to do with the model?

Phil

Hi everybody,
just completed the wire-antennas (made from electric cable) and the funnel guys (0,4mm steel wire).
For the isolators of the antennas i used a drop of wood glue, painted brown afterwards.
