Lindberg Bismarck with inkjet-printed decks

GMorrison

One of my favorite alltime posts from the past, from another guy named Morrison:

............This kit is a lump of plastic morphologically resembling some parts of the real ship. It does not actually come come anywhere near close."

Take it with a laugh, but why don't you start with somethingthat won't fight you every step. Certainly a couple of other kits exist.

 

That Lindberg build still looks really good, especially considering the condition of the original kit.

Used to be a rite of passage for many boys to use their Daisy Red Ryder BB rifles to commit the Coup de Gras to kits like the Lindberg Bismarck. Doing that now would entail the risk of jail time.   

There must be a George C. Scott line from the movies "Patton" or "Doctor Strangelove"  that would fit such a societal change......

No George C. Scott quips? 

"Strangelove. What kind of a name is that? That ain't no *** name, is it, Stainsy?"
"He changed it when he became a citizen. It used to be Merkwurkdigliebe."

EDIT: And this just in, ladies and boys- the nanny bot doesn't like pickled cabbage.

LOL

Just for you, spielfilmliebhaber!

..............there must be some way to fit Oujé-Bougoumo in all this.................

I still have to say that this model of the Bismarck is one of the most impressive I have seen given the kit from which it came. It is an amazing job!  I admit that I would never have the patience that you obviously have to build such a work of art. Kudos!
