Tamiya 1/350 Bismarck - WOWSL style

[The Madhatter]

hey all
Seeing as my other subject didn't warrant much interest, maybe this might? I Finished this one last night after a 3 week build period. It's not meant to be a hardcore representation of the Bismarck - I added just the Eduard PE set and the crappy Pontos wooden deck sticker (which is giving me a headache with its really bad adhesion properties). The paint scheme is based on the "Too Hot too handle" camo pattern from WOWSL. The rigging is not accurate either. The PE work is less than stella and there are a multitude of other issues that would prohibit it from being any kind of competition contender - BUT - it was a fun build and now sits alongside the Alaska.
The DKM H Class battleship ("Pommern" basically) is on the to-do list as well as the HMS Exeter, New Jersey and Yamato

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry for the not so great pictures - I am having to resort to my phone lately because the battery for my DSLR blew up and I haven't bought a new one yet.

As always, thanks for stopping in and having a look

Well, damn!  that looks more like Tirpitz in a funky disco outfit but really well done!

Thanks guys. I like the fact its not BOG (or Boring Old Grey). If this pattern had been applied in the real world, it'd be a sitting duck for sure but this is modelling and I can do what ever I like
