Long, long, time ago. I remember ordering this guy and being amazed at the detail and fragile beauty.
I had thought about covering it with tissue but could not get my elves to agree.
It looked so awesome in WSF white . . . so I ordered a second-one to cover and one to keep in frame only, then the test section offered for covering practice. Then they sat. . .
I had a quiet morning and did some cleaning of the shop and discovered the parts as well as two terrain bases I had my son paint up for me . . . I started with the original Zepp, fitted and glued the two parts together, added a wire post to the base and way to plug the other end into the Zepp.
Then to align and add the test section as a hull lengthener (I cannot remember the Type the Germans did this to, but who really cares!)
Glued the final section to the test section, note the LEGO fixture the elves came up with! No costs withheld
And here they are! A bit too fragile to carry around and game with, but excellent book shelf display bits!
Now to finish the HMS Glorious twins . . .
