Definitely looks like a used warship, going to look so realistic, enjoyed this part of build when you see it all coming together, very satisfying. Half the size of Bismarck and twice the work 😂 will make the next project much more relaxing for sure. Best wishes and heath to everyone for New Year 🤛

Looking Brilliant Jolle notice how painting to look like wood gives more depth to the finished boat 👍 both look really nice and can agree with you on painting ropes on the outside as a game of patience and a steady hand, beginning to look like she’s not far away from completion 🤛 You’ll be proud of this when it’s finished and rightly so. Other week l managed to buy some nice hardwood for top part of display cabinet for my own Mikasa , so shall be getting in contact with my joiner friend to get this made, be clad when it’s fully closed in and don’t have to dust her, far too fragile. Have a great Xmas and an even better New Year when it comes and thanks for all your help and encouragement 🤛 🔔🍻

Love how you pose the figures Jolle, they all look like they are actually doing something, works a treat, your detailing is brilliant and your painting skills amazing, doesn’t leave much room for improvement does it 😂 very impressive skills make for a very impressive model 🤛

Thanks for having a look Nirvana, new there was issues with the hull back when kit was released, and when l purchased it and looked at the hull line especially at the bottom aft was quite obviously not the right appearance, it was only when l started marking of the hull plating and becoming familiar with the flat bottom layout that l decided to fix this, never done this before so just winging it really, like a cat, seem to have landed on my feet 😂 well that’s the worst part improved so my confidence is better now, think l am going to enjoy moving forward, all be it at a slow pace. Thanks again Jeff.

Thanks for that Jolle, shall investigate both, if l had known Micromaster did this would have ordered them last week, just ordered the main turrets from them in the right configuration for Bismarck on commissioning day, that’s my Xmas press from Jaqueline, be a test of will power not opening this till Xmas day when they arrive 😂 thanks again Jolle. 🤛

So am l Jolle, especially since this part is mostly past, great to be moving on to a different task well same but different if you know what l mean. Have managed to purchase and am in process of purchasing more Veteran models sets for her, should try the distefano.com site, sure you’ll find this another good source for future products, some of the 3D print is not up to scratch and other bits are definitely worth a shot, don’t think anyone is going to improve on Micromaster though, its in the name, master 🤛 will need a little help from you with where you purchased the anchor chains for your Bismarck build, they look like a definite for me. 👍 thanks again Herby, just kidding Jolle. 😂

Thanks Winnie, appreciated. Funny thing, l also have this in collection to build, think l will have to made immortal to complete my collection 😂 Am sure you will bring this back to life, Hoods a nice looking warship for me. 🤛

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
