part 2 bismarck build

Post by tiger205 »

well the PE set arrived the other day, so i didnt have a excuss not to do it. gary was right, the PE parts are so small, by the time ive finnished i will be in the funny farm ???, on the AA turrets alone there are 72 PE parts, that took me ages to put them on. what make it that much harder to build the model is, that the PE parts have to be put on in a order different to the model instructions, so you have to go from one set of instructions to the other to make sure parts go on in an order that dont obstruct, or hinder you with another part of the build :-[ :-[ :-[. as you can see from the photos, progress is slow, but it is starting to take shape, i have nearly finnished the painting on the hull, just the baltic camo' scheme to do there, the middle deck section isnt glued in yet, just placed there for photos,, all the main, secondry, and AA turrets, are made and painted, i have to install some of the railings before i fix some of the turrets down. at the moment i am in the process of making and folding the airplane catapult, which is really fiddely, but, such is the nature of the beast. i hope you all like the photos
