If you’ve read a few of my posts or project pages, you’ve likely noticed that my models are often only temporarily complete. Their done-ness being largely determined by how sick I am of working on them and what I need or want to get to next. And hey, there’s always room for improvement right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I initially posted my Graf Zeppelin as complete<\/a>, it was done to the level of the old WW2 Comet recognition sets, which were pretty bare bone. Typically no life boats or auxiliary motor launches were present and no aircraft, even on carriers. I’d been adding extra touches to the units of my faux recognition models that were not in the original Comet USN set, and liked the look. I decided to refit Graf Zeppelin with both her intended light watercraft and aircraft (Yup, she would of had Stukas modified for carrier operations). I think they worked out nicely and if I ever get around to selling these as completed models or kits they can always be optional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I doubt I’ll add new posts for the other similarly embellished units in the set, maybe just one post with a shot or two of each… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My projects truly are, never really done…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
