Bismarck by Dan Vadas - FINISHED - GPM - 1:200 - CARD and PE


Recommended Posts

Thanks guys :).

 

There are 6 large Row Boats and 3 small ones. These don't have any sort of framing, so I made my own after a bit of trial-and-error :

Row Boats (6).JPG

 

There are extra thwarts which gives them a little more depth than plain printed decks. I glued these to the decks before cutting out :

Row Boats (8).JPG

Row Boats (7).JPG

 

Some of my framing was a little bit out - I'm talking fractions of a millimetre here. The slots in the hull sides were not worked out very well at all, resulting in some largish gaps. The ones nearest the stern were completely unnecessary and finished up the worst of them :

Row Boats (3).JPG

Row Boats (5).JPG

 

As a result of the bad fit I needed to use a bit of filler. I painted the whole hulls rather than attempting to touch them up. They turned out OK :) :

Time for another Progress pic or six. I've finished both superstructures to the stage where I can fit them to the main deck. I won't do this just yet in case there is a problem with any further sub-assemblies. Here's the aft superstructure :

Great progress Danny; looking really good. Its a pity the top card layer (thwarts, bottom planks etc) was not a two-piece set to give a sense of depth inside the boats; other than that they look really good.

Looking at this, who'd even think it was paper/card.  Expletives fail me.

Thanks for the compliments once again John, Pat, Reg and Mark.

 

There are two Arado 196 Floatplanes on Bismarck. These took me three days to make. Once AGAIN the Instructions were pretty woeful - luckily I found a couple of good pics of the "real thing" online. Here's the best one :

The major pieces of the fuselage, wings and tail rolled, folded and glued :

And some pics of the finished planes. The float supports were not easy to cut and fit :

Dan, I am wondering what the T pipe behind the bridge boat storage might be.  The only thing I have come up with might be some sort of detection device.

Hi Chap,

Your work is absolutely First Grade!!

(I've been following....)

 

If I can reminiss when I was a young Lad, (A couple of years ago), my Mother used to wrap me up in "Cotton Wool" with the excuse that I was Anaemic, I don't think that I ever was, God rest her soul.

 

Anyway, in the time that I had to stay at home, I used to cut out pictures of aircraft/ships/cars from magazines, I just couldn't understand at the time, why they could not be something solid, something that I couldn't hold, something 3D.... The Picture's that I cut out that is....))

 

I guess that I now strive to do this, 3D that is.

What you are doing in Card just resonates so much with my youth.

Fantastic Sir....

 

Awesome!!

 

Cheers...HOF.

Not in this kit Popeye - what is fitted is all you get. I think the rear section slides in under the main part to open it for the tail gunner - maybe?

I have no idea Walt :rolleyes:.

 

Thanks Hof :).

 

BTW - after posting the pics above I realised I'd forgotten to fit the radio antenna. I've corrected that omission now. The antenna itself is some ridiculously thin (0.01mm) elastic thread, and the wire part is 0.2mm nickel-silver wire :

Yes :D. Thanks Carl and Paul.

 

Two Cranes are used for (among other things) recovering the floatplanes. These took me two days to make. They were very fragile until everything came together :

The finished articles, ready to fit to the deck. The "cables" are "Fine" EZ-line elastic (black). The keen-eyed among you will note the temporary brass wires keeping the hooks from tangling until the cranes are fitted :

IMG_0413.thumb.JPG.db3d4923dda83e294070cc57a8632c5b.JPGNice work on the cranes and planes!

(planes are very convincing, even in the extreme close-up)

btw: as far as the photographic evidence goes: the canopy has norear end. Al pics of the plane show the canopy open (and with a visible gun)

I agree Jan. Unfortunately I don't have any spare guns to fit one in each plane. I'll think about scratch-building a couple. They were actually twin 7.92mm machine guns. See HERE.

I havent placed any orders recently. Waiting for something new from Shipyard... but can order something small and add yours to it. Just let me know what and how much.

 

Pavol stands for Paul, Pablo, Paolo etc. Please do not try to pronounce it, just call me Pav...

Thanks Pat and John :).

 

I've finally got to the stage where both Superstructures need to be fitted to the deck. I hadn't been looking forward to this stage much, as I wasn't sure if they were going to fit properly. I needn't have worried - there were only two slight mis-calculations (one each side) where the side walls didn't quite line up with the marks :

Superstructure Fitted (1).JPG

 

Before gluing anything down I dry-fitted both assemblies and checked out the fit. Then I ran around the white edges of the deck with a grey PITT pen in case any white showed after gluing (I learnt this lesson from Amatsukaze, where I had to do a bit of rather difficult touch-up after installing the superstructure :huh:). Next I taped a couple of stops to the deck to make perfect alignment easier, and only THEN reached for the glue bottle. I'm more than happy with the result :) :

Superstructure Fitted (2).JPG

 

With both assemblies now fitted I could finish off the rigging. First came the two Forestays for the main mast, which ended on either side of the funnel in two "turnbuckles" made from 0.2mm wire which I'd fitted earlier :

Forestays (2).JPG

Forestays (1).JPG

 

Then the rest of the antennae between the two masts. Four of these were a doubled line with a spacer at each end to keep them apart. There's probably a name for this arrangement, but I don't know it :

Radio Antennas (2).JPG

Radio Antennas (3).JPG

 

To set up these antennae I first separated the wires using a short length of 2.5mm square wood. I made the spacers from 2.5mm lengths if 0.3mm wire, which was glued to the lines with a tiny dab of PVA at each end. When these dried sufficiently I applied a tiny drop of CA to each joint. These will be painted black :

Radio Antennas (1).JPG
