Hi Boris,
Beautiful motor sloop and what is more impressive is it is to 1/100 scale.
Lovely work.
Cheers,
Stephen.

I'd be content to just have a display of your boats! They are fabulous.
Thank you all for the praise and the tumbs up
I also started making the large oarboats.
They are not 100% ready yet, but I will make further details when the rest of the rowing boats are placed.

First Thank you all for the thumbs up.
And we will continue a bit further with the sloops, below some pictures that I think more or less clearly show my steps ,
Three more sloops I have to make. Out of a total of 11 Of which 2 I ordered extra in Germany because they were not included in the kit I bought at the time ,( by the way the sloops are made out of resin, it takes some time and patience to get them as I would like to)
The 2 that I extra ordered are currently on their way.

Hi boris279,
Beautiful work once again, each cutter being a model by itself.
Cheers,
Stephen.

Great work
WOW - I love your work 
Fantastic detail on such a small scale. Excellent work.
Everyone thanks for the thumbs up and nice words.
the chapter sloops.
I finished the last one of this section and added some more details , still need to make 2 more,
but I have to wait a little bit more on them, unfortunately they send me the wrong hulls, they where 13.5cm instead of the ordered 10 cm.
so I will continue on the rest of the structure that still need to be constructed, like the compass platform and the fire control and mast.

She is truly a remarkable model. I have found in the past when I put in an order for a certain part or fitting I have to write a note on the order "No Substitutions". You would think that the suppliers of scale fittings would know that scale builders require exact sizes.
Great work. Excellent
Thats a museum quality model ship. Superb work.

Thanks everybody for the thumbs up and nice words !
And the story continues, made the compass platform and compass, also made a start with the rear fire control.
parts came in resin, did not like the quality of it, so I decided to make most of it new, like with almost all of the parts.

Very good work with the details
During which time the Scharnhorst was "wearing" this white ring on one funnel? I could not find any photo showing this........

This is the only picture where she is wearing a white ring, it is the only one that i found till so far,
I am trying to build her in this condition shown as on the picture.
During her short life they chanced (upgraded) a lot on her, that makes it some times confusing.

and we continue a little bit further
made the last air intake, and added the rest of the details to the fire control that where still missing,
still missing the splinter shields for the 8.8 guns.
I forgot in my enthusiasm to make some pictures, during the process, sorry !
