madtatt Posted October 4, 2023 #1 Posted October 4, 2023 Hello everybody. I am Jörg from beautiful Herdecke, which is in the middle of Germany. My nickname is Jölle, I am 55 years old and a firefighter by profession. Since I have been tattooing on the side for 30 years, the name madtatt arose, which I use in all sorts of model building forums. When I was twelve I built my first model with my father. It was a small warship. Apparently ship model building stuck with me after that. I came to this forum via the German site modellmarine and have been reading as a guest here in the forum for quite some time. The model building quality of many of the ships here is enormous and has fascinated me, so I would now like to become a part of it. At the end of last year, after almost two and a half years of construction, I completed a large project, the battleship Bismarck, in 1:200 and I would like to present it to you in a short construction report in fast motion. I look forward to a lively exchange of ideas. Greets Jölle. JeffT, mtaylor, AnobiumPunctatum and 5 others 8 Greets Jölle. modellmarine
