Bismarck Pack 3 - Stage 21

The forward section of the superstructure deck:

I bought this great screwdriver magnetiser online (the green thing in the picture) as my screwdriver was losing its power. Now I just leave the screwdrivers in it when not being used and its keep them fully magnetised! Well worth the small investment - much recommended

It makes placing the screws into position before tightening them so much easier, especially on a highly detailed model like this:

The other thing I learned from YouTube was to put the glue into the plastic blister and then use a cocktail stick to apply tiny bits of glue where needed:

So when I added glue to these protective walls I could get just a tiny bit of glue in place reducing the risk of it being seen when attached to the deck:

With ultra-small bits like this skylight, I found it easier to diet the tiny pegs into the glue first then attach to the deck:

For the protective hoods, I tried putting the glue into the recess first, then placing the hood into position. This worked too. For the doors I 'dipped' them in the glue:
