The Ship Model Forum

Hi all,

I am new to this forum and I say hello with a few pictures of my work on Bismarck so far. It is a static modell, 1/100 scale using largely 0.5mm alu sheet metal.

All comments are welcome!

Bye now and talk to you soom,

Bernd.

Welcome aboard. Your build looks very good so far. I find it amazing what people can do with metal. I am having enough issues just using plastic sheet.

Keep us posted on the progess.

Hi,

thanks for the kind comments. I solely use an airbrush (Iwata) for painting. Only some details are brush painted (high quality brushes only, enamel paints).

I use for airbrushing high quality paints from Model Railroad suppliers as they also do not want to obsure fine detail with unsuitable lacquers.

Bye,

Bernd.

This is exceptional work . I do like the way you perfected the dogs around the WT door. Detail work at its best .
Dave Wooley

my goodness, your work is amazing. i don,t know how you do it ,but i am awe struck by your detail

I have seen and another topic with another build of yours.. Will you build the entire ship or just some parts???

Very impressive work and detail.. What do you use to glue the metal parts with the styrene ones?

Just found it... There are two topics with your Bismarck build and I was confused... Very nice work... Why don 't you merge them into one since it is the same build??

If the rest of the ship is to the standard of what has been produced so far then this model is going to be truly impressive.
Dave Wooley

hi,

I guess you will see some turret work in 2009 as i am turning the gun barrels probably this month...

Bye!

109 this is seriously GOOD work! As a matter of interest how long does it take you to construct such an accurate piece of work? I take it you are familiar with Joseph Kaisers outstanding work on his Bismarck?
Dave Wooley

Hi Dave,

I don´t know the total number of working hours but I spent 9h on the detailing of the two side doors... so, it is time consuming!

Do you know the working hours of your models, please?

Bye!
