Building Z 24

Christian Bruer
Mmhh, you'll beat me with this one🙁 no progress with my one at the moment. But great work so far Mathias!

Mathias Carl
Thx,
actualy I´ve forgotten my "wooden deck" at the office, so there´ll be no progress until tomorrow😉

Mathias Carl
Some new pictures online showing the work on bridge and funnel so far.

Christian Bruer
Only is better than none😢 Nice progress so far. I keep that in my mind to remove the Spritzschutzleiste first! By the way good details at the bridge section. Looking forward to your build. Cheers, Christian

Mathias Carl
Thx.
But the bridge still is incomplete at this moment.
A lot more details are still missing.
But I guess, they´ll be added next😉

Frank Krause
I do love my "huge" etching parts. This would be way too small for me...! Nice job, Matthias!

Keith Gervasi
Wow! That p/e is small even when I enlarge the picture. Looking very nice!

Mathias Carl
Thx, mates. 🙂

Duncan Cook
If you would build real ships with this speed, you would be the backbone of our economy.😉
Looks good.

Aghis Barberopoulos
I like your detailing, keep it up Mathias!

Andre Hoencher

Christian Bruer

Mathias Carl
Thx, Christian.

Duncan Cook
@Christian, I know, but I mean the german economy 🙂

Christian Bruer
@Duncan, hehe, ok we were not so fast🙂

Holger Kranich
Tasty build, so far! I´ll stick here!😢

Mathias Carl
Welcome on board, Holger. 🙂

Holger Kranich
Always a pleasure, Mathias!

I have seen your artikel on Modellmarine(?) today and i love the comparison photo between the two Frigates!!!!! OOB and AMS! Awesome difference! 😄👍

Mathias Carl
Thx.
And to be honest: That´s one of the reasons why I did it. 🙂

Mathias Carl
Hello mates,

the project is actualy on hold.
The paintscheme I´ve used is completly wrong!!! 😳 👎
I thought, I´ve had pictures of each side of Z 30, but that´s not so. 🙁
So I will remove the paint completly and restart the build as Z 24.
But it´ll take a few days or more until there´ll be pictures to show.

Christian Meyerhoff
Hi Mathias,
You named your album "Building Z-24" So what went wrong with the paintscheme if it was Z-24 instead of Z-30?

Mathias Carl
the problem was, that I only have two photos of Z 30.
And both are showing the starboard-side.
So the paint-sheme of port side is speculativ.
Therefore that the stb-side of the trumpeter sheme is definitly wrong I´m quite sure the port side is the same.

From z 24 I´ve got pictures showing both sides.

Mathias Carl
Added some pictures of the new paintsheme.

Udo Browarczik
very impressive. It is inspiring to watch it. Please carry on and provide us with pics!

Christian Bruer
Important information! Mhhh, I thought the camo scheme of Z30 shown in Trumpis manual was more or less correct according to the only few photos! Do you have some more information about the faults? Cheers, Christian
P.S. the new scheme looks pretty good!

Mathias Carl
Hallo Christian, mal auf deutsch😉
Das Problem ist, dass die weißen und schwarzen Streifen bei Trumpeter auf Stb-Seite nicht passen.
Denn wenn man sich die 2 bekannten Fotos von der Seite ansieht, erkennt man, dass die Streifen bei Trumpeter nicht korrekt über die Aufbauten geführt werden, da sie schon am Wasserpass falsch beginnen, sowohl von Position als auch Winkeln und Breite her.
Für genaueres muss man da wirklich die Fotos in Ruhe betrachten, aber dann fällt es einen wirklich auf.
Auch ist das Problem, dass man erkennen kann, dass die Brückenfront in das Muster mit einbezogen ist.
Allerdings geht Trumpeter auf den gesamten Bereich nicht ein und lässt es statt dessen einfach wegfallen.
Und mir stellte sich dann auch die Frage, woher z.B. Trumpter die Informationen über das Schema der Bb-Seite habe will.
Mir ist da kein Foto mit bekannt.
Und selbst wenn: Da schon die gut dokumentierte Stb-Seite falsch ist, was mag dann wohl mit der Bb-Seite erst sein???

Deswegen:
Vom Z 24 habe ich gute Fotos, die ich nutzen kann. Also baue ich halt den.
Sind zwar ein paar Änderungen notwendig, aber nichts dickes.
Dass kann man dann später sehen.
So hatte Z 24 z.B. keine 2cm auf der Back.

Mathias Carl
And some new pictures added. 😄

Christian Bruer
Ok and thx for the detailed information! Nice progress with the vents! Cheers, Christian

Christian Meyerhoff
Hi Carl! As mentioned before, this will be another Masterpiece from you! Impressing work!

Mathias Carl
As I wanted to restart with my Z 24 I had to recognize, that many vital parts of the kits have been lost during the moving from Stralsund back to Westerstede.
Because I´m not able to rebuild these parts from, the Project is cancelled and the remains of Z 24 will be used as spareparts for other projects.
But there´s no pity about it, because I´ve not been realy satisfied with the paintjob and other details.

But don´t be scared:
There are enough other kits in my stash😉

The last thing to say will be:
Thanks to all, who followed this build.

Christian Bruer
Don't worry Mathias, I'm looking forward to your next build! Happy modeling, Christian

Mathias Carl
Thx mate.
I´ve already something in my mind...

Holger Kranich
Du wohnst in Westerstede? Ja ach du sch...😉😄
Mathias, Ich sende Dir gerne die verlorenen Teile zum abgießen zu, wenn Du magst!

Mathias Carl
Danke, Holger, aber lass mal.
Ich war mit dem sowieso nicht so zufrieden.
Alleine der Rumpf hat ganz schön gelitten, so dass da ein Reset die beste Alternative darstellt.
Und der kostet ja jetzt auch nicht die Welt.
Trotzdem danke.
