1:720 Admiral Graf Spee - Unofficial GB

[Gnomey]

Looking good so far Marcel!

 

[Wayne Little]

Good job Marcel, well done mate, 1/700 is challenging but you did good man...

 

[Capt. Vick]

Great job Marcel! Or shall I call you admiral?

Great job Marcel! Or shall I call you admiral?

I've got two battleships now

Btw, just as an illustration, you can see here my new Graf Spee along side of the KGV that I built. It is 1:720 vs 1:570.

Lovely work Marcel!

 

[parsifal]

My apologies for not congratulating you before this marcel. I think you've done a wonderful job on both ships......

 

[javlin]

That came out Nice marcel and yes the Graf Spee indeed looks more detailed than the KGV

Nice, Marcel. I know this is an old thread but I only just found it. Nice model of the Graf Spee, my brother had one as a kid and I always liked it. This is a photo of the ship pre-war, out of interest's sake, although it has an Arado 196 rather than the Heinkel.

Here are a few pictures I took whilst in Montevideo a few years back. The Graf Spee's rangefinder.

One of her 5.9 inch guns sitting outside the Museo Naval.

A cap in the museum, which has an excellent series of displays on the ship.

Very cool Grant. I have a 1/350 Graf Spee in my stash, barely started, that I must get back to some day.

 

[Marcel]

Nice nuuumannn . Great pictures. Must be great to be able to travel all over the world.

Crimea, please do. I would love to see your take on the ship.

Must be great to be able to travel all over the world.

It has upsides. Living in Europe is just as cool though - you travelled an hour to see me in an extraordinarily historic site, you've got foreign countries with fascinating histories right on your doorstep. I have to spend nearly 24 hours on a plane to get decent salami!
