Thanks Chris, I have seen lots of names pass by. As long as we know what we are talking about ... For cutting the photo-etch, I use an old CD and a half round x-acto-knife. So, next I covered the resting places for the anchors with brass. and gave them a shine with a fiberglass pen. Kind regards,

Thank you, Yves, although I must admit this will probably be the only adaptation I shall make to this kit, as it is rather obvious when looking at pictures of the hull. Next I used the Pontos-templates to drill the 0,4 mm holes for the footirons (handholds?) Wishing everyone lots of shipmodellingfun,

An other modeler noticed that the most forward porthole, above the anchorcluise, was too big, but somebody else noticed that it wasn't even in the right place and that here was no porthole under the anchorcluise. So I filled them up and in acordance to the present-day ship, I drilled 3 aditional portholes on the port side and 1 on the starbord side. Kind regards,

Then I reinforced the seam on the inside with epoxy putty and used the same to fill the minute differences on the bottom of the hull, which i wetsanded with a medium sandingstick and finished with 600-grit sandpaper. Kind regards, Herby

After visiting Japan in 2019, and searching for a 1/200 plastic model of HMS Dreadnought, I discovered that the only remaining pre-dreadnought was still laying there, open to visitors. I found the kit at a reasonable price and ordered the Pontosset from Australia. The aim of building this kit is mainly to practice the extensive use of photo-etch in order to make a stunning model of the Bismarck. I finaly started this build, painting the underdeck bulckheads Insigna White and the floor Dark Green. Then joining the two hull halves, the bulckheads and underdeck together. Kind regards,

Hi Sjors, I think I know hou too The page you see is what I get after clicking "acount settings". I think I need new spectacles, for I don't see "signature", only a list of 7 options starting with "Overview" en ending with "Content view Behavior" So where did they hide "Signature"? Greetings, Herby
-
Thanks for the reply, but my problem is that I don't see a tab "signature" in the account settings. Kind regards, Herby

Hello to all members of MSW. I have been foloming this forum for some time now. I make models of historic sailingships (for which I am not afraid to do a little kitbashing) as well as models of "sailing" ships if one can say that of a ship with motors and propellers. My most recent build is an operational Trumpeter 1/200 DKM Bismarck with realisticaly turning turrets and elevating barrels of the main armament, a little lighting and turning radarunits of which i put a build log here: Trumpeter 1/200 DKM Bismarck - R/C-conversie - werfregister | ModelbouwForum.nl Text is in dutch, my mothers tongue, but pictures say more than a thousend words. My next project will be a static model: the Merit International 1/200 Japanese Battleship Mikasa 1905 with full Pontos upgradeset. I hope to get some inspiration on techniques on this splendid forum. Kind regards.
