Here I am again with my current project. This time it's a cruiser of the Italian Navy. R.N. Scipione Africano. The model is the GPM in scale 1:200, converted into 1:400.

The Hull.

Go, Marco, go!
I like Italian ships. Fragile beauties.

viltianus You are absolutely right. Ships beautiful but disastrous to the facts.

Added the railings on the first bridge. Railings for this is the hardest part because there are islands of guns. Also for the first time I have to do with railings with three strings and I have to admit that with my method is much more stable than two strings.

Easy? Yes, I know. But I'm very lazy woman, so I use photo-etched railings Wink

Chimney as well as whole model first class. Well done

I know it's tic-tac.

Thanks viltianus

Stefan I had not thought of the color of the chimneys. You're right, I think that with every trip they went to clean the chimney Laughing

Finished the basic structure of the superstructure of the command. Now we start with the small details.

Hi marco1971,
There are no only viltianus (or Catherine if you prefer Very Happy

) and Stefan who observe your nice job

. Scipione Africano belonged to a very interesting warships' class in the Italian Navy. On the other hand the Italian warships had very good design, in brief they were nice. BTW - this influence was good visible in the Soviet Navy warship designs after delivery of Tashkent flotilla leader. A model scale is such as I also prefere ( viltianus is a new moderator in this forum's section and I should do it, i.e agreed with opinions of my boss Laughing

). I wait for a final effect of your work. Go ahead and good luck
