How to Build a Battleship Model from Scratch: The S.M.S. Pommern Part IV: The Aufbau (Superstructure).

In this installment which was completed in September 2006, you will find 29 pages covering 81 steps with over 90 photographs. Part IV covers the construction of the Aufbau (superstructure) which turned out to be a huge part of this project and very complex. In all, the Aufbau (superstructure) took almost a year to build.

I hope you find this section interesting or useful and as always, comments or questions are always welcome. Thank you for sharing my pain. Please click the "next" button below to start the tour.
