trumpeter 1/200 bismarck

finally able to get some paint on , lot more to do , but it's a start .

as a side note  , this extra kit comes with the bismarck , it's a 1/200 showing the workings of the main turret . it was a fun build .

it's the zvezda black pirate ship bob , getting a bit dusty now , but I think it suit's the image 

The bigger they are . . .

Doing great so far.

BTW, is that the Zvezda black swan pirate ship, or the Revell on the shelf behind the first photo?

Bob

You'll make it.  Nice job on the ports and rungs.

steve , good to hear from you mate , the hull in 1/200 , is in one piece , but it has a little bit at the bow you glue on , I don't know why it is like this .

goldhammer , cheers mate . I decided to go this way so as to not have any glue marks when I paint , I just hope my fat fingers don't do any damage . I have started putting on the porthole surrounds . it's not a very good pic , sorry  .

Steve... Be careful on the PE.  What you have on so far will make doing the porthole surrounds a little harder to do.  But doing well with it so far

TB had to re-register after one of the site breakdowns.

Hi Steve!

I'll be following this build since I just bought and will soon receive the Trumpeter 1/350 Bismarck. I'll have to set 6 month aside for that build when I get to it.

If I recall Andy's Hobby Headquarters first look video correctly, the lower bow section is a separate piece from the rest of the hull. Is your 1/200 scale hull the same sort of two piece hull?

learning to go slowly with this PE

I opened them TB , the kit also comes with PE to go around them .

how come your bio ,  says you've only been a member for a year .

Hi !

      Are the Ports molded like that? Or did you open them?
