Poul,

First - thank you very much for sharing the build, and the steps, and your thinking :}

Second - The ship is wonderful - a credit to you and your workmanship (and your HUGE match)

third - When you have organised your photobucket; you are able to edit the links (on the thread) to the photos.  I don't suggest that you do all of them, but would personally appreciate it if you would do the last few pictures of the finished ship

Prinz Eugen, eh?   Will she be a floating model?
Please :}

It has taken me 2 years, 9 months, and about 7,600 handmade parts to complete her.

She's very lovely Poul.

...And only 2.75 years!  :o You're going some (as year 4 dawns over my Dreadnought...)

Oh yes, one question: what did you use for the portholes?

Back in June, I started to upload my Richelieu images to a dedicated Richelieu section in Photobucket.
I can still use that section for my upcoming reorganisation of pictures. This means that only the first two pages of the thread should be affected.

As for the Prinz, no I am not into the R/C stuff.

Hi Andy,

Sorry for being a bit late in answering your question.

For the portholes, I used these small brass 'rivets' - same system as on your shoes for the shoe laces - I really don't know what they are called. I think their original purpose is to make a connection through a hole in a printed circuit board, or something like that.

For my 1:200 scale model, I used the ones with a 2mm diameter 'tube', ie. 40cm portholes.

Hope this answers your question, otherwise I can take a photo of one and post.

Thank you - that answers my question.

Good luck with the Prinz - please keep a build log on Mayhem!
