Hi EVERYBODY i hope everyone having a Good Hoilday, I thought i would finnaly sit down and give you a Update lol 
So Ive been Continuing on with the Funnel
Here is what i started with
Added teh Drill Guide PE for the Stacks
2nd set of Drill Guides
Slowly adding the Stacks
Sorry for Lack of Photos my Old Camera Died Losing Some Photos so sorda a big chunk of work missing
So Next i Started to Work on The Platforms Im having to Mod the PE to be able to Add some Scratch Build. There is many Pipes going up the Side of the Funnel that Trumpeter and Pontos forgot to add and there Simple to do. Also there is Wire Conduit going up the Sides im Having trouble figuring out a good way of doing this (lol I NEED HELP)

So While i was Stuck on the Funnel I thought It be a good idea to finally get the Hull Primed, And that Presented a Challenge in its Self, How do i paint something over 4ft Long and my Paint booth is only 3ft wide lol So i Got some Window Fans and used the Clothes Line in the Basement with Bolt Hooks and it Worked Great :geek
Taking a Selfie with the Big Girl
I forgot to take a After Photo of it Primed Sorry lol Think the Paint Fumes where getting to me :drunk
Merry Christmas Everyone

Fantastic
Okay, I'm not much of a boat guy so here is my silly question of the day. Why does the stack have all those pipes around it???
James
They are Exhaust Pipes to vent Gasses and Fumes from the Engine Room Spaces. The Funnel Vents from the Boilers.....Cheers mark
Hi Everyone Its been a While and Thought an Update is Needed,Been so Busy Lately Found Out we are having our Second Child in August so i need to get some Progress before that time lol , So i finally Figure out some issues that was blocking me form Continuing forward with the Build Bench Space and the Boot Strap.
Here is Empty Space in my Work Shop
And here is my 1st attempt at using my Terrible Wood Working Skills lol Very happy with the Result not Pretty but Piratical for the Bismarck and the LED Pod Light i Put in are Great.
My next Issues is the Boot Strap, Trumpeter Trappered the Stern too much and its Difficult to get a Straight Line, Ive seen Many people (rivet Counters) Cut the Back end off and Rebuilt it, Im a Sane Person so i wont attempt that lol :gogo
So form my Research the Top Boot Strap Line was 9.5 Meters above the Keel so thats Roughly 4.6cm, I did that for Bow and Mid Ship but for the Stern took some Thinking Turned out to be 3cm form the Quarter Deck
Took was wood Shims to Level it Proper but it did the Job
Next is Painting the Hull, Has anyone here worked with LifeColor Paints cause for the Life of me I could not get them to Paint Proper i would Cog my Nozzel in 30 sec very Thinned with Retarder and Low PSI i will not use there paint anymore, very Frustrating, I went with Model Master and so very happy with the Result and i Custom made each Shade for the Hull as i didnt like there off the Shelf Options
Had to Take a Pic with the Screws on SO Awesome Looking
Next Light Gray Forgot to take Pics of the Dark Gray Bow waves Sorry it was 2am lol
Started the Camo Baltic Very Happy with the Result
More Updates to come
