Kahunaminor Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) Absolutely fabulous work Michael, I have a 1/350 Tirpitz that I am looking to build (my first ship) and have a MK 1 wooden deck set to add. May I ask, did you rely solely upon the manufacturer's adhesive to hold the wooden deck or did you augment it with another adhesive?

elmarriachi Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 Thank you very much @all! Yes, the wooden deck is fixed only with the adhesive on it's backside. Holts very strong! Kahunaminor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmarriachi Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Hello @ all. I am thinking about some final ideas at the moment.... and I wonder what you think about it .... Figures ... I have a package of 1/200 resin figues from North Star Models, together with German leader A. Hitler... thinking about placing them on the deck as it could be seen on several pictures, Hitler walking in front of the Bismarck-crew ..... Or no figures on deck..... What do you think? Also thinking about adding the stairways on the side of the hull... or without ...... What do you think?Cheers Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Boillot Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Beautiful'model, Michael ! Love it ! As for your question, I tend to have definite views - waterlne model ==> at sea ==> needs a crew - full hull model even if weathered ==> conventional representation of a ship (if not in dry dock, where it is then a diorama) ==> crew makes the model look strange. As for Adolf's figure, completely superfluous in my view (all the more so as he did not really display any interest in the big capital ships anyway) whatever you decide to do with the crew. Just my 0.02 Hubert Edited January 21, 2016 by MostlyRacers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmarriachi Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 *** UPDATE *** All the handrails around the maindeck are installed. I used the ones by North Star Models instead of the kit- parts or Pontos parts, which are both not correct. After that I placed the stairs on the side of the hull. Made of PE-parts, painted in brown, grey and gold... LG Micha geedubelyer, Uncarina and dpastern 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkyZeit Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Beautiful sir! Just wondering if you can let me know the height of the model from hull base to top of the highest point.. Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmarriachi Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Thanks a lot .... it is nearly done I think some first final shots I will add today later ... dpastern 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmarriachi Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 *** UPDATE *** ... And one last update, before the final fotos for the gallery could be made The stairways are finished, painted and mounted. Also some further add-on parts on the maindeck. The flaggs (fabric) are formed with white-glue and water mix, then glued to the masts with super glue. The display was painted in palisander and clear coat.... then the name plates follow on both sides. Generally speaking - that's it..... most of the work is done, just some reworks to be done, which I will note during the next days I think ..
