Watch out for the hatches on these bridge structures, don’t think they are what Pontos or kit parts supply, l think they are ventilation ducts, did my aft bridge as instructed only to change my mind when doing forward bridge. When you look at the ship today you notice these parts are much taller than deck hatches 👍

Did just notice on this photo stating it was 15th September that there’s two tugs attending the stern, some very nice houses in background but l think the display base might be a bit OTT 😂

Fresh head today, can’t even remember what l was babbling about 🫣 Haven’t managed to do any modelling in last fortnight, think the holiday break and summer weather kicking in seems to curtail modelling, probably the same for most of us, ever time l pass the Bismarck on the table l’m saying to myself l want to be working on you, just have to get certain jobs out of way first, such is life. Have to thank Jolle and his friends for their help, just awesome 🤛 it’s looking like l might just be able to pull this model of with their help 👍 just a case of finding out the right tugs and boats involved with her on the 15th of September, and then being able to replicate them. Would imagine there should be a lot of photographic evidence or footage on such a historic occasion as her maiden journey. Here’s hoping 🤞 Again thank you guys, means a lot getting your help. 👌

Tried editing last post now it has disappeared, must be getting tired. Frustrating or what.

Thanks very much Jolle for helping me here, and for other persons help, very humbling, if this all comes together l will have to try very hard to do justice to everyone’s efforts. 🤛 🙏🏻

Really really appreciate your efforts Jolle, definitely trying to catch her appearance on her maiden voyage 14 15 September 1940 covered by live film footage, so sounds like the Atlantic is definitely the lead tug that l need to replicate with the smaller B&V boat passing up Bismarck's port side, would be great to try and capture this moment in her history, even thinking of trying to pose anti aircraft guns in same positions and all crew figures just to give them their spot in history, sounds a bit over ambitious but lm up for the challenge.
-
Yes, decided that making a model of her that’s possible not very common will raise some eyebrows on a very popular battleship, shall do it in the same way as my Mikasa except with water all around ship, but raised high enough on plinths to make all the efforts on the underside visible, at least someone might notice it’s been changed a little bit 😂 This is where l’m looking for a bit help from you, l need to source drawings and photos of the Tugs and small pilot boats accompanying her so l can try and scratch build these, obviously with your contacts with your Bismarck build and speaking the language could greatly help me here. Am sure all the boats were from B&V maybe Hamburg Museum could help with info. 🤛 Here’s hoping.

Be aware that you have to fit the funnel pipe through the etch platform to fit the said pipes funnel brackets in place, they won’t pass through the hole in platform, it’s a bit fiddly but easier than trying to fix brackets in whilst assembly on funnel. Only seeing you doing this brings it all back to me. Rivet details work a treat Jolle 🤛

Still working on the hull Jolle 😂 After looking at your magnificent model l am really looking forward to this model, just don’t hold your breath, l can see this taking a while. Have decided to do Bismarck in my second favourite scheme, yours being my favourite, shall have her being towed up the river Elb on her maiden voyage, at least l won’t have to tackle all that superb weathering that you are an expert at. 🤛😂 Your model belongs in a museum where it can be admired everyday. Absolutely superb and thanks for sharing, shall be looking at this for ages, hey and your boats on Mikasa with canvas being pulled back. Brilliant. 🤛

About the NRG
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. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
