1/200 Trumpeter Bismarck with Pontos 27001F1

Thanks Bmac B)

So had a Frustrating and Fun Evening, The Template provided by Pontos 8 out of the 9 holes are Correct and took abit of research to figure out the proper placement for the last hole.

So After i fix that issue i prepared the Turret for Etch :laugh: You can see how Un Balance it is with the AM barrels

Took 3 Nuts ;) to Balance Anton out

So next 3 hours took me to Finish about half the Etch and ni also fed the Carpet monster, There was a little Part on the Ladder that decided to go flying, Still looks good tho

This build is looking fabulous! (y) :notworthy

Love the detail work. Unless you have small hands that turret is quite large. It is really making me ponder about getting rid of all the 1/350 ships I have and getting the 1/200 Arizona which is one of my all time favorite ships.

:popcorn
 
I still love my 1/350 Ships But 1/200 is something else and Arizona is diffidently on my list, and i have sausage Hand lol so the Turret is big lol i wish i had small hands for these PE work, i had to stop working on my ship last Night drank way too much Gin and Lemonade woke up with a slight hangover lol, I told my Wife don't keep bringing me drinks ill keep drinking them :drunk

I have the Arizona(1/200). Need to get started I guess.

Have a 1/350 kit of it with all the PE, but once I saw the 1/200 one built, it was all over.

Maybe should have an Arizona build to be finished on Dec 7 2016 for the 75th anniv.

OK deviation done, let's see some more of the Bismark!
 
Very glade I joined and I will bring her for the meeting and I got alot of other goodies to show off hehehe

So while the turret was drying, I thought to add some
Forgotten details that trumpeter missed on the hull :)

My laptop broke sorry for photos terrible adding them through my cell I'll try and fix

So I thought I would try my new tamiya curve tape and it's impressive

So I sanded it down till it just raised edge above the hull then used Tamiya extra thin glue to melt and blend it a bit more sanding to smooth it out

Very nice work..the smoke generator holes look like the were molded on by Trumpeter.

PS ....where did you get the Tamiya tape for curves?? Online supplier or the Hobby Shop?

Thanks Rob!!
 
Very nice. What was the smoke generator used for, camouflage or disruptive smoke? And what are those bars along the hull?? Think its the first ship I've seen with a molded anchor housing. Very very cool.

Barney, I think I saw that Spruebro is carrying it now though they were out of stock within a couple of days of getting the first batch in.

I think they are called outriggers James, used to tie up boats along the side or hang torpedo nets, but I'm going to let one of the squids correct me. :skipper
 
I think your Correct Moon Puppy but i would have to double Check.

Bmac i Got the Tape form a Buddy Just up the Road form you for like 12 Bucks which is Steep but its Tough to find it Till local Hobby stores in canada start Stocking

So i Wasn't Happy with the SmoKe Gens so redid them with some left over PE form my 1/350 Bismarck and i think it turned out very well
