Issue 130
Here we fit the gun rotation motor to the main gun and start on the main deck handrail first 4 sections, at this point the cat attacked it and ripped the forward handrail off twisting it through full 180 degrees I managed to repair it and get it back on, finally few shots where we at, weathering one side the hull with salt stains dirt and rust. Cheers mick. BigGrin

Mick

You are close to the finish now.

Have you seen the display stand and the control box for this one? Its been posted up on the German build site.

The control box looks well impressive.

Beginning to think it might be time to start mine.

Having stored all the packs so far they are taking up a massive amount of space.

Wonder what they might offer when this one is complete?

Hi all builders, I am now up to part 138 and have found a couple of potential problems one of which I hope has been resolved. The first problem was the touch switch which worked fine when not assembled but when in place it refused to react. My skin is tough so might be the cause, Hachette are sending a replacement and think the switch is faulty. The second point is that we have 4 cables going from the support to the Bismarck, two black wires and two red. The readings I get from the terminals suggests that all is not well but we lack information on what to expect. Can somebody who has reached this stage and has a working model please measure the voltages and publish them, it would be a useful trouble shooter. Many thanks Tony.

Hi I have only got to issue 134, think be after xmas before get up to 138 mine did pass its electrical in issue 133 ,think probably going to have to wait till get remote in issue 140 to see how things work,as you say there's no information on what voltage should be coming from the wires you mention anyway,cheers mick BigGrin

Hi Mick, There's a small circuit board that fits in the support that contains the speaker, it takes power from the batteries that are housed in the other support and supplies two pairs of feeds to the model, ie two black wires and two red. All my other electrics in the model itself are fine. The support itself is a bit flimsy for the weight of the model, I think they could have done a better job of it.
Regards Tony
BTW The only voltage I am getting is on one red wire and is Minus 6.5v hence my concern.as it supplies power to all the units in the model.Hopefully when I get the replacement power touch switch it will include the circuit board as well.

Alot to do in this one starting with the anchor chain guide a few details around the fourth main gun barbette then the stern flag staff and light, more railing and the 2 quadruple aa guns you will need to remove the guns fitted in issue 106 as these are in the wrong place and glue them in platform below and fit the quadruple on the top platform. Then 2 aa guns on the funnel platform, then build up the second plane. Cheers mick. BigGrin

Issue 134
First of all we assemble the 2 cranes, then assemble and fit the 4 booms and the propeller protection, then glue in the safety rails there are 20 of these to glue in behind the main handrail. Then glue in 6 more bits of main handrail, then bend up and fit the catapult platforms, then fit the catapults in we got in issue 4. Then bend and fit the catapult cover, they do glue the 2 planes in now but I'm leaving mine till the rigging is done in last issue as they are rather vulnerable at the moment. Cheers mick. BigGrin
