      Ron,

      Very, very good indeed. Yet again I find it hard to believe what scale it is.

      Simply outstanding.

        Pleased to hear you're feeling better Ron.
        Are you going to knock Bismark about a bit before sinking her?

          Hi Ron
          Glad you're feeling better and I hope your good lady improves soon.
          Bismarck is excellent and as everyone has noted the detail belies the scale.
          Jim

                After being battered by 2 battleships there was not much superstructure left, so yep a 4 by 2 should do it

                  Don't worry chaps, Matron has stuck a big needle into the ship. It won't feel a thing!:sleeping:

                  Great post too.

                  A bit of 4"x 2" is an excellent idea. - With a rusty nail in the end!

                  Before I batter the ship about, and as I'm sure you good folks will know, I have to start to get the angle of the dangle correct in relation to the doofer!

                  Here's the initial attempt.
                  I want to try and show a bit of 'Caesar' turret just above sea level.

                            Using my cheapo version of a Dremel, I've also cut down the first Bismarck to a waterline version ready to put on a seascape. I've kept a bit of red to allow for any sea movement.

                                Chris. Don't cry mate.
                                I don't like my model ships full hull anyway. (Just my taste)

                                So, the above is the first Bismarck I made for this thread. She'll be belting along after her encounter with Hood and the P.O.W. Little knowing what is about to happen....

                                You think this bit of butchery is bad, just wait until I get stuck into the sinking version.:hungry::hungry:

                                Quick, get yourself a drink.......

                                Cheers.
