Bismarck Construction

Recommended Posts

Here are some pics of my Bismarck under construction, so far I have no complaints on the quality or packaging.  All of the deck and super structure is just setting in place, so don't knock me it the super structure doesn't appear to be straight. There is a lot of toothpick gluing, very tedious assembly, especially if you have any shaking in your hands, you will get frustrated. I am using 3x cheaters for my eyes, almost need to jump up to 4x or 5x, so far I am doing good with my 3x.

UPDATE:  Added more photos of my progress after taking a week off for an unexpected illness, doing great now so enjoy the photos on my progress.  Lots of detail work and much more to do !!

Looks good Mike.  🙂 This is one of those epic builds that you live your life for. Super detailed and super sized.  And you end up with a masterpiece to show off.  Well worth the money.  And as you say the only real issues are whether your own body senses can keep up with the detailed work required.  My eyes have seen better days, so have to wear the bionic magnifiers.  I've spent the last year weathering the ship.  Almost at the end with only a couple of issues to go now.  Then onto the rigging.  Keep up the good work.
