1/200 Trumpeter Bismarck with Pontos 27001F1
- Thread starter Trogdor
- Start date
Nice work but I have a question. Would a larger washer not give your mount the support it needs?
I think you would have had to epoxied the washer in place if this thing weights anything. That plastic would start giving after some time. Doing good! :captain
Looks good from here. :captain
Sorry To everyone Ive been Busy as Hell at work and at home to work on the Bismarck But i managed to sneak in a little progress Got the Water Intakes Installed and they look Great You probably will never see it but i know its there lol< I also got a 200mb File of everything on the Bismarck you could think of Photos Drawings Etc.. if anyone need it just email me and ill give you my DropBox Info, And on a Side note this isnt 100% accurate Just me having fun Scratch Building, I just like adding little things in the Background to add to the Ship So im Sorry to the Rivet Counters out there lol.
Here is a Hans Gally Drawing of the Water Intake
Got it Roughed In
A Dark Coat of Hull Primer
And Added the Top of the Intake
Turned Out pretty Good :cheer:

, I find this Stage of the Build the Hardest for me, Its alot of Sanding and Putty to get the Shape of the Hull Right. Now an Update (sorry its been awhile LoL so busy)
So I Finished all the Intakes Channels inside here is my Process (if you got any Questions just ask ill be galde to give more details on Materials Etc.. i did to make this
I started with the 2 Larger Intake Using Thin Plastic Card< Using a Template for the Other Side
Then I got Crazy :gogo and Said lets do them All lol, I used all my Scraps Up for this, its a Great Way to recycle and Clear my Junk Pile :yipee
Close Up of one of the Vents
