Bismarck Pack 7 - Stage 78

[WonderWoman]

Loads more detail for the funnel, and putting the funnel onto the deck (plus adding the foremast - scroll down for a lovely sunset photo!!!!)!

 

There are 6 lockers for the funnel on this stage which are glued around the deck platform halfway up the funnel.

 

Followed by the steam whistle, and the safety railing that was bent into shape in the previous stage 

 

The funnel has two supports for the search light platforms, one on either side, which are metal and take a reasonable amount of bending and gluing to complete the final assembly. Such detail!

 

Now that the funnel is at a reasonably complete stage I can add it the lower deck and then connected the funnel to the section in front with a metal platform which will eventually hold the foremast.

 

Tip: use pliers to bend the ladder support tabs, then glue it together

 

I took these two photos and they randomly came out as if one was n a sunset and the other at night but it was just the flash misbehaving; still, they look pretty! The blurred backgrounds look like clouds or islands with a bit of imagination!!! 

 

After securing the foremast in place with the struts and the final railing its stage complete!
