hof00 Posted October 24, 2021 #1 Posted October 24, 2021 Hi All, Something newish for me thanks to the inspiration of others on this site. I started this build several years ago, 2008? I got the basic hull and some Superstructure almost compete and thought it was time to drag it out again.... Reasons for this is that I am tired of sitting on my Chuff for the last couple of months waiting for surgery on a torn right Rotator Cuff and looking like I'll be languishing for a couple more month's to come. The scale and size makes things a little easier to accomplish with my left hand. 🙂 The Partworks version is essentially an Amati offering in 140 magazine issues and it seemed too good an opportunity to re-start proceedings. (I have the Trumpeter 1/200 version with MK1 Detail set and the Tamiya 1/350 version also.) I began this afternoon by ensuring all subsequent issues and contents were present and put aside the 1/400 Titanic for a future when I have both arms fully operational 🙂 So, don't know how far I can get but my best shot and it's better than casting around feeling "Disabled." The Hull looks good for the time it's been in storage, some attention with filling, sanding and primer will help The Superstructure components will be wrapped in PE I'm looking forward to getting stuck in!! (A very big "Thank you" to the Gentlemen currently building the Amati version, it's given me much needed inspiration!!) Cheers....HOF.

hof00 Posted October 28, 2021 Author #2 Posted October 28, 2021 Small update: Getting back to grips with the Beastie.... Hull: Defining the top Armored Belt just below the Deck, this was a little "Overfilled" at bow and stern with Knifing Putty. (The Fillets are Bow and Stern on this Belt where the Portholes are located.) Still defining this feature before Spray Putty/Primer. Filling remaining defects in the Hull. (Small dents, etc.) Found the Port and Starboard Prop Shaft locations and opened these slightly. Superstructure: Most of this was o.k. apart from one "Module" that I had to dismantle and re-assemble, accurately. In the process of sanding these structures and studying instructions for the plethora of PE. Things I dislike about this partwork.... (I only purchased this as the Trumpeter version was not quite released at the time I started this version.) Jumping around with differing assembly stages. (Put this assembly aside until a later stage, etc.) Printed Decks. Crappy Main Gun Barrels. I am sure that there will be other dislikes as the build progresses. This kit is a step down from the Trumpeter version but should be presentable nevertheless. Well, I invested far too much "Coin" in purchasing this so need to complete it. I'll post some photos when in the next day or two.

Not sure what I'll do with it once complete as I really want to build the Trumpeter version which looks at me every time when I open my ship room Wardrobe.

CaptnBirdseye Posted October 28, 2021 #5 Posted October 28, 2021 Good to se you back on your 'Bizzie'! I'm not sure if it would be classed as 'theraputic' though 😀 I have this kit built up to the 'planking the hull' stage, and like yours it has been in storage for a while. With all this renewed interest in this ship and re-launch from Amati only bodes well for these kits (just rankles that we payed all that when Amati version is less than half the price now). Looking forward to seeing your progress. RB Canute, mtaylor, hof00 and 2 others 5 Quote
hof00 Posted October 28, 2021 Author #6 Posted October 28, 2021 Thanks Chap. The other two Amati Bismarck got me motivated to do something "Constructive." So, begs the question really....

CaptnBirdseye Posted October 28, 2021 #9 Posted October 28, 2021 Yes, the angora one is the metal hulled version. And that's what i personally think spoils it - the overlapping metal plates of the hull. Much prefer the lines of the wooden ones. I actually started to build the metal Hatchette version. mtaylor, Old Collingwood, popeye the sailor and 1 other 4 Quote

Had some PE "Sea Chest" grilles, Starboard, that had to be removed prior to this. (I have a new set of these for both sides of the ship.) I guess it was a good thing that I had almost finished the Hull and a lot of the Superstructure. (Also great to have all subsequent issues/components. 🙂) I'll get some photos up later today.

hof00 Posted October 29, 2021 Author #12 Posted October 29, 2021 Small update: Continued review of Partwork PDF instruction material I found on-line. (Saves going through countless magazine issues. 🙂) I have identified several "Installments" that I can complete, (almost), where I don't have to Jump around.... The Main and secondary Turrets can be assembled. Nice! Have also identified a small section of Superstructure that needs "correcting," for want of a better word. I'll post as few photos of the Hull to hopefully illustrate the definition of the Armored belt. (Citadel Armor?) The plan this evening is to fix the Superstructure error and continue prepping the Hull in anticipation of spray filler/primer. (The Left arm is doing the majority of the work with the right is pretty useless.... 🙂Perhaps it's just a case of the left hand not knowing what the right is doing. 🙂) Cheers....HOF.

hof00 Posted October 31, 2021 Author #13 Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) Small update: Sanded the Hull a bit more and decided before the Putty/Primer I'll need to have a think about it and ask myself is it ready for this or does more work need to be done? I gave the Anchor Hawse holes a bit of shape internally from the Deck down to the Resin piece. (The Deck Hawse hole pieces are beveled around the edges.) Decided to have a go at the Main Gun Turrets. There are eight magazine issues for the four turrets, four for the ply structure and four for the PE. (The issue instructions are identical.) (I have taken photos of the Frets, one Turret structure in ply and one with PE fret added.) So, the ply structures go together very nicely but when it comes to PE, I have a very steep learning curve....🙂 I got the PE on the first Turret after a few hours of planning/dry fitting. I hope that the other Turrets won't be so difficult as I now know how the pieces line up.... The completed Turret photo shows a bit of filler in a few of the joins. (I'll use some very fine Wet and Dry and a fine Wire Brush to clean this up.) There are Ventilators, Hatches, Ladders, etc. still to be added, these are on different frets in other issues.... (At least it's a bit of progress and something out of my comfort zone. (PE) Cheers....HOF.

hof00 Posted November 4, 2021 Author #14 Posted November 4, 2021 Hi All, Small update: Working on the main Turrets for the past couple of days and believe that after I complete sanding polishing that the might just pass muster. As I mentioned PE is very foreign to me but I think that I'm getting used to it. Some errors but nothing that a bit of filler won't fix.... I am surprised that the Turrets were not a one piece plastic item, no challenge I guess. 🙂 Photos tomorrow.

hof00 Posted November 5, 2021 Author #15 Posted November 5, 2021 Small update: Main Turret "Basic" structure complete. The photos show much room for improvement which I will perform in the coming days. allot of fine sanding to get rid of CA residue, Etc. (I would have liked to have done this today but life gets in the way sometimes.) The Filler on certain pieces of the Turrets are where "Dents' have occurred, the cause is, of course, myself.... I lost some Rivet detail in these areas but I don't think it will be noticeable in the grand scheme of things (I'd much rather have a "Flat" section that is supposed to be flat rather than a gentle "concave" depression. 🙂 Another issue with the PE cladding is that when the sides are assembled, they stood about 0.75 mm proud of the Turret Roof. The only way that I could see to fix this, file the Top-Sides down to Roof level. I thought that I did o.k. (Being a PE Luddite.), and think they will be o.k. in the end. (I can be pretty "Fussy" when it comes to this stuff. 🙂) The last photo are the six secondary Turret ply components. There are only 4 pieces of PE for each, two for cladding and two for the Barrel openings. Cheers....HOF.

hof00 Posted November 7, 2021 Author #16 Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) Hi All, Spent the majority of the weekend working on the secondary Turrets, there are six of these, two differ slightly. Sheathed the fist four, they came out better than I was hoping for. (I must be learning or something....) I have two left for tomorrow morning. (Apologies also for no pictures of the Hull build but there are two other builds going at this time also.) Mine followed the same build sequence.) Placed Main Turrets on the Deck to see what it will look like one day.... 🙂 Anyway, that's me for the mo. Cheers....HOF.

hof00 Posted November 8, 2021 Author #17 Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Small update: The final two 150 mm Turrets completed today, for some reason these were the most difficult to sheathe.... The PE Fret seemed really hard and it was super difficult to shape the Turret rears. (I was sorely tempted to anneal them. After an inordinate time of pushing, Etc, I got there.... 🙂) The Main and Secondary Turret construction got rid of another thirteen magazine issues. (A total of 61 issues done out of 140 but who's counting? 🙂) On the to-do list tomorrow will be to "Finish,") all Turret structures thus far and start looking at the Superstructure side PE Frets, (Lots of them.), and associated components.... (I think the latter will prove challenging to say the least. (For this Chap anyway....) The plan with these is to use acrylic PE adhesive, (Mig), to attach the tiny parts initially and a drop of CA to secure. (Any advice for a PE newbie appreciated.) Sound good? Cheers....HOF.

hof00 Posted November 14, 2021 Author #18 Posted November 14, 2021 Hi All, Small update: Stated placing the tiny PE components on the first two PE Superstructure sides. They turned out o.k. (I think....) (I really don't know how 1/700 scale builders do their PE, my hat is off to you gentlemen!! At least I can pick mine up with my fingers, for the most part anyway.) Rotator Cuff surgery tomorrow so am unsure if I'll have 1 or 1.5 operational arms at the end of proceedings. I guess we'll see.... 🙂 Anyway, it'll give me time to contemplate and plan my next tasks with the Bismarck.

hof00 Posted November 17, 2021 Author #28 Posted November 17, 2021 Thanks Chap, As mentioned somewhere at the beginning of this log, I had been casting around for something to get myself motivated... The other Bismarck builds on this site, gave me the impetus that I needed with restarting my own. It's essentially, an Amati offering sliced up to fit into 140 magazine issues. I started this around 2008 I think ,and, getting as far as the Hull mostly completed, I put it into storage. At NZD $17.00 for each issue, it made sense to get inspired once again...🙂 So, there you go, off with a "Hiss and a Roar" only to get the brakes slammed on.... Anyway, plenty of time to study/contemplate and plan the build going forward.

CDW Posted November 17, 2021 #29 Posted November 17, 2021 So glad to know you made it through surgery okay, but sad to learn recovery will be a longer process. I once had a Toyota Land Cruiser fall on top of me and it broke my shoulder. I was so sore after the third day it was unbelievable. Took quite a while to get past the soreness. Get plenty of rest and follow instructions. They know how to help you best get through the process without undue difficulty. lmagna, hof00, popeye the sailor and 2 others 5 Quote Completed Projects: USS Fletcher 1:144 Scharnhorst 1:350 USS Independence LCS-2 1:350 1:32 J7W1 Shinden Interceptor/Fighter Fairey Swordfish Mk.
