Hey guys just thought I would show off my little baby, the KM Bismarck.
I have been working on her on and off for about 4 years now. She has been broken at the masts countless times, the most recent by an idiot frien who was playing around after I said don't touch you'll break it, he said (as they do) no i won't I'm just looking, next thing you know SNAP
Not very happy and it was both the forward and rear masts too.

Oh and just remember I am a terrible camera man so go easy on me







and this one





and one more

How does your friend manage to break off both of the masts, damnit.

Nice lil´ boat you have there!

As for the pics, id suggest more light, or use the flash on the camera. Does you camera have a "macro"-option? Though with a model that big, i dont think youd need to use it...

Hey this an't no silly boat its a mighty war ship

as I said because he is an idiot, no it dosn;t have a macro option. The phot's were taken at night with house lights over to one corner so that might be the problem?

Yeah, good lighting makes all the difference.

IMO, natural light is much better then artificial light from lamps.

Put that rubby ducky away, and play with that in the bathtub.

Really good model!

I recently built a 1/350th USS The Sullivans and am now working on the USS Iowa in the same scale.

I would suggest more light, like the others, but other than that, well done!!

can you retake the pics to do it a bit more justice as they are a bit fuzzy

danke

Nice job done on a now "Battle-Damaged" model. The 2nd model I ever built was a Bismarck model-probably the same size as your is. However, mine met an ending much alike that of the "original" Bismarck did - only mine was death by BB-gun & Black Cat Firecrackers. ;-))

I always wanted to build a B-17 withall four props spinning b four motors, and attached to a small amout of fuel in wings, than get on the roof light up the wings, hold for a second, then throw, hopefully it will work alright.

aawesome, must have taken lots of careful building very small and complex. Great job though.
