[Trogdor]

Thanks Everyone For the Comments and Paul i would love to see a Arizona Build Im Saving up for the 1/200 Hood that just got announced 1/200 Hood and Bismarck Next to each other would be a Great Display, Now im in need of some Help I was Studying this Photo and was trying to Figure out what the Plate under the Door was For and Made out of, Its got me Curious, Was it Rubber to help form Slipping.

It does look like some kind of mat, but hard to tell more than that from the photo.

My References do not show a Mat there but that does not mean it isn't on her at the time you have depicted her. I would say it was a non slip rubber Mat.....Cheers mark

Has me getting ready to obtain the big Arizona with goodies. :hmmm

Chukw has one I think. That oughtta be one hell of a build.

Hi all so I finally got back into the bismarck. So I had a couple road blocks along the way that deterred me form moving forward one was I needed a larger airbrush I manage to pick up one form a friend who has a contact :yipee

next where am I going to paint this I'm still stuck on this. But I'm sure I'll figure something out maybe build a custom paint booth hehehe So while I was waiting on my new airbrush I did some more work on the structure

I think you got the airbrush covered.

That's a lot of detail in there, looking fine! :captain

I'm glad to see you back on this, but judging by all that PE that has been added, You've just been stuck in the Dry-dock with bad case of Hobby Pox. Looking good, very good. Where did you get your Fiber-optics from, I ordered some off of eBay but, I don't like them much. :captain

 

[Trogdor]

Thank Everyone for the Comments :cheer:

Swordsman I get my optics of Ebay As well lol But i found a Decent Guy on there that ive been talking with and he is very knowledgeable and prices are Great, I can give you his ID or Email i might have it.

So I went to Start Airbrush the Hull and my New Airbrush is a Dud, Good Thing it has a Life Time Warranty So there sending me one Asap, So i decided to Start My Favorite Part of the Ship The Smoke Stack ( im Sure there is a more Nautical Term for it lol :captain ), I find the the Shape and the Search Lights so Interesting. IF anyone is using the Pontos Set BE aware that some sections of the Ship is Spread over several Pages. This Section is on 3 different Pages just in the Corners of each instead of on one Page :gogo

So i Started with the Side Vents Red Will be Removed

So this is What Pontos Shows to Do But Form my References (i Forgot to take a PIc of it ill Post a picture of it when i get home) the Vents are Flush with the Side so ill have to Cut out this Section

I Glued a Piece of Plastic Card Behind it

And Started to add each Vent lol So many of them but with the extra work it Turned out Very well and looks way Better this way

 

[Hippy Ed]

:hmmm I like the idea of adding sheet styrene behind the pe part. And I am curious, is the top of the funnel going to be open or, is there some sort of grate covering the opening? :drool

 

[Gator]

Looking good!

 

[lupanzer]

Great PE job ....

This reminds me (I saw the lid) that I'm loving the Gator Glue we got, I wish I had discovered it ages ago.


Looking good man.

 

[Trogdor]

Thanks everyone I've been spoiled with time to work on the bizzy I'm scared it's gonna run out soon lol and yes I love Gator glue I can decide if I like the regular or thin better I'm leaning towards the regular I think cause I'm more use to it

Hippy ed here is a sneak peak of the top and it is open so I think I might run the pipes inside

 

[moon puppy]

Most excellent PE work.

 

[Piet]
