Back again... havent been here for quite some time.
I decided to do a bit of model building again after about 15 years pause, and I spotted a worthy target: a kit of SMS König in 1:350 scale. It's already here, but I still need some colours, paintbrushes and suchlike... I hope it comes out looking nice. The model is manufactured by ICM and available for about 70-90 € (though I got it for 50 € at Ebay).

Up until now, only "Großer Kurfürst" of the same class and the same manufacturer. Although there is one shop in Germany that offers various 1:100 models of ships of the Imperial Navy, including SMS "Bayern", "Derfflinger", "Deutschland", Von der Tann", "Scharnhorst" and torpedo boats of the GTB 1913 and B98-classes. But they are quite expensive, they range from about 250 € (GTB 1913) to over 1700 € ("Derfflinger").

Here's the adress (English version available):

Here are a few pictures of the completed model... alas, not from me - I wonder if I can do it anywhere near that quality!
