I´ll take a seat in the front row!

Ingmar Stöhr
You're welcome! I hope you brought enough beer and chips as this might take a while 😉
An please make sure you keep a safe distance of at least 1.5m.

Mike Kryza
Schau ich mir doch gerne an.

Acki
Bin auch gerne dabei, aber den Mindestabstand kannst Du vergessen. Da erkenne ich nichts mehr. 👍

Ingmar Stöhr
Willkommen an Bord!

Progress on turret No.2

Ingmar Stöhr
Slow progress in the last days because of beautiful weather. Finally managed to finish No.2 turret

Ingmar Stöhr
A few days off and bad weather lead to some progress on this project. Pontos set misses some details and the resin parts are generally excellent. A few show more flash and other minor defects. But still a vast improvement over the kit parts.

Lochsa River
nice build...sitting in

Ingmar Stöhr
welcome on board!

Joerg R.
Hey Ingmar baut ein neues Schiffschebootsche, klasse 👍👍

Ingmar Stöhr
I managed to complete all the Armored Box Launchers and the Harpoon Launchers. I even put all my courage together and started the opened launcher from the Infini set. 83 PE parts, 5 turned brass parts, some plastic sheet an 6 hours was all it took to build an amazing tiny detail for New Jersey.
@Joerg: Herzlich Willkommen

Sven Schönyan
Very nice progress and good work on the launchers and funnel!

Łukasz Gliński
That Kaman looks like 1/144 or my 1/72 builds, respect! 👍

Ingmar Stöhr
Thanks a lot!

Treehugger
The smokestack work in photo 10 looks really nice I think. Fun to see others drilling out the holes in pipes and stuff. 🙂

Ingmar Stöhr
How can you not drill out all the pipes. That would be really insane 😉

Christian Bruer
I call it a promising start, excellent work so far Ingmar 👍

Ingmar Stöhr
Thank you Christian! I'm very glad to have you on board!

Ingmar Stöhr
Today it was time to finish the four Phalanx CIWS. The detail on the Pontos parts is absolutely breathtaking. A was with black oil and afterwards a careful dry brush with light grey and white is all that was needed.

Thomas Bischoff
Amazing level of details 👍

David Taylor
Im in.

Fly By Jan
wooooooooooowwww, this looks very exciting! I am following!

Ingmar Stöhr
Thank you mates!

Ingmar Stöhr
Finished the weapons platform for the aft. CIWS.

Ingmar Stöhr
Today I managed to complete all the 5 inch guns. The detail on the Pontos parts is superb! Only thing I had to change where the gun mantlets (not sure if that is what it's called for naval guns), as the Pontos parts are way to small.

Sven Schönyan
Great result!

Ingmar Stöhr
Finally some progress to show. I used the old Tamiya kit to replicate the SH-3 Sea King seen on board New Jersey in 1983. I added struts to the wheel sponsons an the fin on the tail boom. The MAD probe on the starboard sponson was made from styrene rod. The tail rotor is made from thin styrene strips. The main rotor came from my own Elegoo Mars SLA printer. The Tamiya rotors look more like bricks...
Most of the markings are hand painted to match the exact Sea King shown in a series of pictures from 1983.

Ingmar Stöhr
Upper superstructure with main mast and radars assembled, painted and weathered.

Sven Schönyan
Excellent paintwork! I like your highlighting!

Spanjaard
amazing job!!! the radar is fantastic. and i really like the SH-2 and Sea King

Ingmar Stöhr
Thank you Sven and Spanjaard.

Thomas Rieck
Moin Ingmar. Wie bekommst du auf dem letzten Bild dieses "verwaschene" Grau hin? Lackieren und dann? LG Thomas

Slavo Hazucha
Just found this project - fascinating work, so much attention to detail and an absolutely clean results - I really like your painting & weathering weathering too, you strike a great balance between macro & micro and a great scale impression result! 👍

- happy to jump on board mid-project 🙂

Ingmar Stöhr
Thank you Slavo! The project has been on hold for quiet a while now. But hopefully I will get back to it very soon.

Norbert Steffens
What I've seen looks fantastic. I predict that your USS New Jersey is going to be a excelent model

Ingmar Stöhr
Thank you Norbert! Now I have to live up to those expectations 🙂

Konrad -
Very nice Ingmar. Count me in here as well.

Lenny Hoffmann
Wahnsinn, weiter so

Stefan Fraundorfer
Das sieht alles unglaublich genial aus Ingmar. Super Bemalung und Alterung. Nur eine Kleinigkeit ist mir aufgefallen. Die untere Stiege im Bild 36 ist verkehrt angeklebt. Oder hat das einen bestimmten Grund?

Michael Osadciw
Wow. What a lot of detail. How do you like the 3D printer you have? I've been thinking of getting one for creating parts and hopefully full 1/35 scale figs once I get some more Blender sculpting knowledge under my belt.

Ingmar Stöhr
Thank you everyone!
@Stefan: Die Treppe hat es auf dem Fotor "nur" nach hinten umgebogen. Da ist schon alles richtig 😉
@Michael: I'm very happy with my Elegoo Mars. For around 250EUR it delivers very nice detail! I did a lot of modeling and sculpting in Blender the last months. Have a look at those two projects:
St. Mary's Church, Falklands April 1982 | Album by stugiii (1:350)
Lighthouse on Cliff 1/350 scale (3D printed) | Album by stugiii

Ingmar Stöhr
Today I was able to complete the main armament. Turret No3 also needed some modifications to resemble the prototype in the 1984 time frame.

Ed Batres
I'm curious, why are there handrails on the turrets? When would the sailors use them? How do they reach them? I'm primarily an aircraft builder, but appreciate great work. Thanks. Great attention to detail. Pleasure to see the work you do.

Ingmar Stöhr
Hi Ed, I'm not entirely sure, but most likely they would be used to secure a sailor with a rope when doing maintenance or some paint work. You find similar rails around the whole bridge, e.g. for cleaning windows or repairing something from the outside

navycod
This is awesome, serious approach!

Alec K
Nice! Taking a seat 👍

Neuling
Very appealing result you achieved here!👍

Markus Antonius
If it looks good, it is good! Looks convincing and decent to me!

Neil Patrick
Very good work. Not often we see the aerial connector to the fuselage included. Great mottling too IMHO. 🙂

gorby
Excellent result! I thought it was at least 1/48.

Guy Rump
I agree with all of the above 🙂

Dave Flitton
Very nice!! I like the paint!

Spanjaard
i do not agree Chris, looks good in the showcase? no. I am sure it looks simply fantastic!!very nice job

Chris T. An
Thank you guys. Then I hope that the Fw190 will soon be just as pretty and that it can join the Bf109 in the showcase.

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work and very good photography.

Jan Peters
Taking a seat, following this 👀

Gerrit Rost
The "new" revell modell is a nice job to do, the old one was terror 😜

Chris T. An
Welcome Jan and Gerrit. And yes, the old 1963 model is horrible. this "new" one from 1997 is much better.

Gerrit Rost
If you take the landing gear inside, place some small parts of spruey under the doors for better fit in the boxes, especially for the front wheel

Nicolas
Following as well.

Skyhiker
Revell canopies always suck.

Jan Peters
The canopy is the weakest point of the Revell 262. That, and the boxed in landing gear bay.
Mind you, some boxes hold better canopies than others, it is kind of a lottery.

Gerrit Rost
Get a file and tune it to a nice fit, and use white/ Wood glue for the canopy . I have build a dozen of this kit .

Chris T. An
Thanks for all your hints. The canopy is glued now. Still some work needed but I think it will be ok in the end. I am not a fan of buying all the aftermarket parts and accessories, so the parts OOB must be enough. No extra vac formed canopy. 😜

Spanjaard
following, got two of them.... 🙂

Villiers de Vos
Booking my seat.
