Looking superp. have you decided which paint scheme you are going to do when you get there. look forward to seeing your progress Ian   Hi Ian i have been thinking (worrying)about which paint scheme to go for I cannot see myself going for the pattern on the superstructure  Me thinks that will be way out of my comfort zone and capabilities Possibly 21st May 1941 with the pattern on the hull only  or a few days before they got the paint for that job  I am sure there was a period where she had no pattern on the hull or superstructure

Hi Budgie. I opted for the pattern up to the deck level. I love the false bow and stern waves on the side to give the image of a smaller ship. look forward to seeing more of your build, brings back a lot of memorys off when i was making her.

Looks great Stuart. It's coming along nicely.Which serious glue then I used superglue to stick mine on the only problem with this is you only get one go at positioning it.

Regards Chris Hi Chris thanks for popping in This is the same glue i have used to attach the resin part to wood and it seems solid enough It is thick and gives you a few minutes to play about with positioning the part The instructions does say to use epoxy but i would rather use a glue that requires no mixing to save mixing too much or worse not enough for the job in hand I did think about drilling holes in the "stabiliser" and hull and using brass rod as dowels 1st time i have used this glue on wood to wood but seems solid enough at the moment Wiil give it a "tap" once fully hardened budgie attached the following image(s):

Mornin' Folks Spent the past week adding the rest of the 2nd planking I did think about using the thinner planks supplied once past the stabilizer area and hope it blends in after sanding but decided to use same thickness as the 1st planking..... hence the dark wood (not enough of light planks to finish) This will give me a bit off leaway when sanding as i am quite heavy handed and would probably rub thru the thinner planks Going to rough sand the hull... weather permitting before adding the resin parts and the ply with porthole detail at bow and stern I have not double planked the top 2 rows of the hull yet will use thin strips for that Thanks for lookin' budgie attached the following image(s):

Looking great Budgie, looking at the planking the hull should sand down very nicely..... Well done indeed.... Regards Alan

Loving this build. The shape of the Bismark is remarkable. Your making a great job of the planking and shaping. After sanding down it will certainly please you.
On my Hood for filler to smooth it and blend it all I used Stopper. Which is car filler in a tube used for getting rid of the fine scratches left behind when wet and drying.(Google auto repair stopper filler) Dries pretty quick and is rock solid. Use wet and dry to smooth it.
Hope you don't mind the tip.

Regards Chris. Hi Chris thanks for the tip As for "minding" of course not......this is your tried and tested method with great results I will probably use the wood filler i have already purchased which should cover the 1st going over off the hull just too use it up before purchasing the filler you have reccommended ps thanks for the post with the picture off the product http://forum.model-space...amp;m=147089#post147089
