Bismarck photos

[LS1Heli]

Ah, thank you for the additional insight. That looks very nice and realistic. I see that set also has the flags which will add some additional realism. Thanks for the high-quality pics.

Mate where did you get the crewmen from?

[S4Simon]

Ebay 🙂

Universal warship crew 1/200 WW2

I chose Version B.  I think they were cheaper.

Just adding some dry dock pics.

Hi everyone 🙂

My name is Patrick and I'm from Germany, the first country where the Bismarck launched in January 2019. We are now at stage 90/140, here you can see the build so far. I added the camouflage stripes on the superstructure by myself, the build only has them on the hull section.

Follow my YouTube-Channel Partwork_Modellbau if you are interested in watching the Bismarck and other projects growing 🙂

Patrick your work is fantastic, on your YouTube channel your missing the first few parts 1-15.

do you paint the model as you go??

have you only added the stripes or has there been other repainted?

which model paints did you use??

just starting our one, hoping it turns out like yours ha ha

what kind of glue do you suggest for the bismarck?

 

[LS1Heli]

VMS Flexy 5K. No doubt.

I just use a quality superglue.

loctite professional - just from a hardware store.

[shipgeezer]

Any decent superglue will work, but having said that, my suggestion is Gorilla Superglue GEL. Regular superglue works but because it is thin and runny, you have to be super careful when applying.

Rear Superstructure taking shape.

Hi S4Simon,

She's turning out to be quite an amazing build. Well done on the weathering. I really like the black & white photos too. Adds to the realism. When do you start rigging her? Will that be the last steps?

I've actually bought some premium rigging (elastic) thread.  But this won't be done until 139/140, which for me is around Easter next year.  I've always loved building battleships (since the 70's).  This is a great build.  I just hope they release that metal hulled U-Boat next.
