ChrisLBren got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in Bismarck by ChrisLBren - FINISHED - Agora - 1/200 Scale
Pack 5 is completed out of 12 - this model at this stage has more wires than our Christmas Tree. I should be testing many of the functions in the next Pack. Forward superstructure complete - second turret "Bruno" added.

Turbine room completed - I have a lot of respect for the plastic modelers out there - took me a week to get it right. Also overall shot of the ship

Thanks Rod - its a fun build. I think the Amati model is terrific too - probably more accurate and detailed than the Agora version and less expensive. The electronics sold me though !

Update ! Unlike wood ship models - working with multi media is more like a jigsaw puzzle - very relaxing and easy. Here's the results of the first three packs, forward deck, first of four Arado plans and the "Anton" turret. I need to install the motor/electronics in the "Anton" forward gun turret next.
Agora is terrific as far as customer service - if you damage or break a part they will send you a replacement ASAP. The metal hull parts are terrific - she will be almost 4 feet long when completed.

Here's the front turret and anchors in action after being wired. This is just test of the motors- sound chip will be added later and fuller range of motion for the anchors.

Thanks HOF - the deck is plastic. The design nature of this kit makes it necessary as you can see all of the wiring, motors and servos involved you need to screw in to the bottom of the deck.
I have seen some terrific examples of this model weathered - which I may or may not do - I dont have much experience with this technique
