       No, my username is took from the pet mouse of the same name in the film The Green Mile.

Welcome to the fori, Mr Jingles

BTW, is your username in any way linked to a cute little piglet, found in Stormwind ? 

Hi,

        Just joined the forum.  I have subscribed to the Build the Bismarck weekly partworks.  I completed the Titanic in the same way.  This way may be more expensive, but I find that when I do a model this way, I have continuity with the building of it.  I used to build Rc models years ago, I may be tempted to do that with the Bismarck.

Yup, that's it, I'm currently "collecting" the Amerigo Vespucci (actually sneaking the magazine+part in, every week ). Only at part 5 since this morning, I know it's a lot more expensive than buying the kit, but paying 7 euro a week doesn't hurt as much as paying 350 euro at once in the shop, besides, it's way easier to smuggle a magazine to my secret workshop on the attick than a 3 or 4 foot long box. And ofcourse, I didn't subscribe to it, so if I see in at the newspapershop* that the part(s) of the week is something easily obtained in a modelshop (like anchors, chain, round wood etc...) I can skipt that week and save 7 euros on it.

*Yes these "kits" are sold in newspapershops and NOT in modelshops.

Question? You mentioned buying the first part i.e. the center keel, is this model being sold in seperate sections/kits?

Seems to be around the same price everywhere.

  If thats a bit steep just wait for the kit to come out from AMATI. They did it with the Titanic and half the price of the partworks.

        None of the superfluous magazine fluff I suppose.Plus the usual markups by all the parties involved.

          The TV spots do show an awesome finished product though.She was a big piece of steel,thinking back to my 1/200th Yamato.

The photographs of the kit look awesome but a little rich for my blood too. Today I just received from Squadron, all 3 WEM's detail photo-etch sets for the 1/350th Bismark and they look beautiful, these should really spruce up the model. But first I have a couple of subs to build.

140 parts at £4.99 a part or £700 in total. Ouch & rather to rich for my taste. Besides, where on earth would I put the thing?

Think that I will stick with the Tamiya 1/350th one.

You mean Babelfish?

At your Indienstnahme 1940 those applied for Bismarck as the most elegant, most dangerous and technologically most progressive battle ship of the world.

This buoyant Bismarck model after original structural drawings on a scale 1:200 has the renomierte model construction-threw AMATI reconstructed and realized a fascinating and impressing detail wealth. They have to equip and via radio telecontrol on large travel send even the possibility your Bismarck with an engine.

Missing expenditures of your collection of BISMARCK can order additionally you directly with the news agent.

I'd opt for a friend - or even better, a board member - who speaks German.

Babelfish embarrassed me in the past when I relied on it for an accurate translation when I tried to impress German colleagues with a 'native language' email.  Hoo boy - never gonna do that again!

Well ya peaked my interest!
