While waiting for a weather window to print the resin parts for Scharnhorst and Admiral Scheer I got a jump on the Graf Zeppelin<\/a>‘s Blender design. As was always her way, she’s not quite done yet! I did have a couple days in the low 50’s and after a totally preventable screw-up (I forgot to screw the vat down!) managed to get both their resin parts printed. The 10 day forecast says we’ll get warmish days in a week or so. With luck, I’ll get to print Graf Zeppelin’s resin before spring.

Should have Scheer and Scharnhorst built shortly. Recreating the WW2 German recognition set, has been a fun and fast project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update:
Links to posts for the now completed models mentioned above:
Admiral <\/a>Scheer<\/a>
Scharnhorst<\/a>

Update Aug. 15, 2025<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I just finished recreating the entire USN WWII German Naval Recognition Set (and then some) in 1\/500 scale, check out the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
