semorebutts Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share #842 Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) Thank you Kevin! I staunchly disagree that mine looks better than yours though. Your build and the flory build were my inspiration and gave me the courage to even buy the kit. Your Bismarck has unbelievable weathering to it. The way the rust streaks run down from the portholes alone amazes me. It has much more depth and range of weathering to it. Mine is just the same Mono tone shading throughout the entire ship. I'm just an amateur trying to emulate Amazing builds like yours. It's nowhere near yours but I think it will still look really cool in my house to anyone and laying eyes on it for the first time. Most people don't see that everyday so its A pleasant surprise. The average Joe will say "WOW, what an amazing modeler you are". But all of us here know better Edited July 22, 2018 by semorebutts CDW, Canute, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semorebutts Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share #844 Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) I finished shading three of the six guns that I am working on. I could not wait to finish all six so I put three of them on the ship. They are not glued yet. I wanted to face the guns straight forward and straight back but the center gun hits the lifeboat crane making that impossible. I am forced to set them at and offset angle sticking out beyond the bow which I do not like. I will leave them unglued for now in case I think of somthing. Wow the pictures do not do this ship justice, the ship is starting to look really cool and really detailed.

Landrotten Highlander Posted July 28, 2018 Share #846 Posted July 28, 2018 re the middle gun: perhaps a daft question, but is it possible to raise the barrels so they are actually above the crane?

semorebutts Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share #847 Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) Thank you CDW! I have the 1/200 missouri sitting in my closet ready to go. I was also thinking maybe the 1/200 hornet or enterprise, or perhaps trying a wooden ship ( diana, agamemnon or victory) though thats all new tools to buy. So I guess it's still up in the air but probably the missouri. Hey LH, I wish I could but the are glued in position. Maybe I should have checked before hand. I never thought this would be an issue. Expect the unexpected I guess.

semorebutts Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share #848 Posted July 28, 2018 I just realized I never shaded any part of the hull at all! I think after these guns are done and before I start on the last guns I should take care of a few things. The replacement radar, the railings that fell off, shade parts of the hull. I want to address all these things before moving on. CDW, cog, lmagna and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDW Posted July 28, 2018 Share #849 Posted July 28, 2018 I'm pretty sure part of the basic training for a gunnery mate aboard the Bismarck would have been not to fire the secondary guns into the crane.

Alot of them didn't fit so I had to file the holes till they fit. It's hard to get all six guns in the same photo but here are a few photos.

hof00 Posted July 31, 2018 Share #861 Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) Hi Chap, Absolutely awesome work!! I have a question for you and others that are attempting your Build.... I have this model in storage plus the MK1 detail stuff. How come you didn't use the Deck Recognition Transfers? (Maybe I'm incorrect?) I believe there are products that ensue Decals adhere to complex contours. Dumb question.... Cheers....HOF.

cog Posted July 31, 2018 Share #862 Posted July 31, 2018 Dumb questions do not exist 'arry. There are liquids which make the decals follow the shape of dents and bulbs on the plastic. I got some from Vallejo, but haven't needed it yet. There are other brands too. Besides the contour following, there are liquids which deter sticking to the surface, and to make them stick better. You can find quite some information on youtube when you look for "model decals how to apply" Cheers Old Collingwood, mtaylor, popeye the sailor and 1 other 4 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."

semorebutts Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share #869 Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) They are not part of the MK1 or Pontos detail sets. They are sold seperately as mini kits by Veteran Models each kit is 2 guns. So I had to buy 4 kits. But the detail is AMAZING! Theres no way to see the detail with my iphones camera. Theres also no way to use all the available parts as there are waaay to small( for me Atleast) I highly recomend veteran models kits as an upgrade. these are 2 parts in the kit at the end of the tooth pick! Way to small for me. With how busy a battleship is the average Person observing the whole Model would never see these two pieces anyway. Besides there is no way I have the skill to install these two pieces These parts are not even the smallest pieces I would have shown you the smaller ones but I had no idea how to cut them away from the sprue.

CDW Posted August 12, 2018 Share #870 Posted August 12, 2018 Oh, okay. Looking at the pictured Veterans guns instructions, they appear a different model to the ones you pictured. In the instruction, the turrets have no hood on top whereas the ones you built do have hooded turrets. Oh yes, those are indeed some extremely small parts, no doubt about it.
