Incredible level of detail . You must have a patience of a saint to be able to cope with that kind of stuff. Truly amazing stuff! Bismarck is one of my favourites (I did a 1:600 model back in 70s), but after a 40 year break, I need to practise a bit before I can tackle it again.

Many Thanks. Yes, I think you should distribute a lot of the guys otherwise it looks unrealistic. After all, the Bismarck had a crew of over 2000 men.

The crane body is already finished and there are still endless components. Attachment:

But that also went together. A lamp scratched and he can get on the deck. Fits perfectly in the mount on the tower. Attachment:

Since I am building the ship as it was equipped in April 1941, there are still dinghies and row yawls on deck. Attachment:

The last yawls in the davits have come on deck. A PE set of a destroyer in 1/350 had to be used for the rope drums. Attachment:

Let’s get to the protagonist for the small scene in front of the hangar. Attachment:
IMG_20220601_212111662.jpg [ 1.79 MiB | Viewed 1645 times ]
The team pushes the Arado out of the hanger on the rail system. The hydraulic jacks are adjusted again with a hammer and crowbar. Attachment:
SAM_2522.JPG [ 2.17 MiB | Viewed 1645 times ]
And off you go to the bridge nock. Attachment:
SAM_2536.JPG [ 2.31 MiB | Viewed 1645 times ]
It’s amazing how many parts Pontos makes that out of. You can hardly get any closer to the original Attachment:
SAM_2553.JPG [ 2.33 MiB | Viewed 1645 times ]
When installing the bridge wing, I still had to make corrections because Pontos had forgotten something here. This sheet metal was used to close the created bridge wing. And when it was extended, like here with me, it naturally prevented the sailors from falling off. Attachment:
SAM_2583.JPG [ 2.56 MiB | Viewed 1645 times ]
Of course, the middle artillery should not be missing either. Attachment:
SAM_2577.JPG [ 2.54 MiB | Viewed 1645 times ]
Let’s also come to the rigging. First I built a device to run the longwave antennas parallel between the triangles. This way you can get the same tension on both sides. Attachment:
SAM_2668.JPG [ 2.47 MiB | Viewed 1645 times ]
And the first threads are already hanging. Also to the funnel. Attachment:
SAM_2679.JPG [ 2.31 MiB | Viewed 1645 times ]
Now came a point that got on my nerves. Four cables each led from the two double-stranded long-wave antennas, which narrowed into one towards the mast. Attachment:
SAM_2688.JPG [ 1.9 MiB | Viewed 1645 times ]
Now the rest of the rigging can follow. Attachment:

Let’s go to the rear deckhouse. Attachment:
17df.jpg [ 2.21 MiB | Viewed 1649 times ]
First the base of the main mast was set and the traffic boats in their mounts. As you can see, I have shown the hangar open. A small scene should arise here. Attachment:
SAM_2406.JPG [ 1.77 MiB | Viewed 1649 times ]
Paper and wood glue are also used for the tarpaulins for the traffic boats. Attachment:
IMG_20220511_164039279.jpg [ 2.53 MiB | Viewed 1649 times ]
Next we pimped the signal platform. Again with paper and styrene. Attachment:
IMG_20220427_110102990.jpg [ 2.28 MiB | Viewed 1649 times ]
With this I imitate the covers of the signal flags. Attachment:
IMG_20220428_115148480.jpg [ 2.24 MiB | Viewed 1649 times ]
Still pulled the ropes for the flags. Attachment:
rdtut.JPG [ 2.2 MiB | Viewed 1649 times ]
Then all come togehter. Attachment:
SAM_2458.JPG [ 2.28 MiB | Viewed 1649 times ]
This allows the deckhouse to be installed and the main mast to be continued. Attachment:

Next up is the funnel. This one also needs some upgrades. Attachment:
IMG_20210831_055242134.jpg [ 1.09 MiB | Viewed 1654 times ]
The usual, styrene, lead wire and Pontos. Attachment:

Pontos is the crowning glory. Attachment:
IMG_20210911_154725102.jpg [ 416.1 KiB | Viewed 1654 times ]
And the going to the coronation. Attachment:
IMG_20210913_192351522.jpg [ 1.1 MiB | Viewed 1654 times ]
Let’s move on to the final details on the hull. I always do this quite late to protect them from damage for as long as possible. Attachment:
10.jpg [ 1.34 MiB | Viewed 1654 times ]
Then it goes far to the hangars and the dinghies. Attachment:

The Admiralty Boat is another of Pontos’ jewels. And a little upgraded by me. Attachment:

Scratched the gangway to the hangar and it can be installed. Attachment:

Let's continue with the next little floor. Attachment:
IMG_20210603_100304507.jpg [ 1.19 MiB | Viewed 1658 times ]
It goes further up. Here, too, the kit is upgraded with styrene. Attachment:
IMG_20210615_171352983.jpg [ 1.55 MiB | Viewed 1658 times ]
Veteran’s 37mm Flak is amazing. Attachment:
16.jpg [ 731.45 KiB | Viewed 1658 times ]
Likewise the range finder. Attachment:
15.jpg [ 531.06 KiB | Viewed 1658 times ]
Next, I’ll show you something I made myself. I made tarpaulins out of paper and diluted wood glue Attachment:
14.jpg [ 1.41 MiB | Viewed 1658 times ]
These were used to protect the companionways from rain. Attachment:
13.jpg [ 439.05 KiB | Viewed 1658 times ]
Next came the transom skylights. Again, the richness of detail of Pontos is fantastic. The Waterbombs make with styren. Attachment:
11.jpg [ 1.67 MiB | Viewed 1658 times ]
Here is a picture of the gangway in place with the brackets scratched. Attachment:

Many thanks Donald. I also have to slowly see where I leave the huge pots. The next floor has been improved with styrene profiles. Attachment:
IMG_20210429_154121986.jpg [ 1012.65 KiB | Viewed 1697 times ]
Next up was the bridge. Out of the box she is almost naked. Here you can really score with the Styrene profiles. Attachment:
IMG_20210515_180558298_HDR.jpg [ 924.16 KiB | Viewed 1697 times ]
The lines were made with 0.2 mm lead wire. Attachment:
IMG_20210607_185440360.jpg [ 1.48 MiB | Viewed 1697 times ]
Finally, the fire control units from veteran models, and I like the bridge. Attachment:
IMG_20210613_191048594.jpg [ 1.6 MiB | Viewed 1697 times ]
The wobbly pots also got an update Attachment:
IMG_20210530_171826313.jpg [ 1.68 MiB | Viewed 1697 times ]
The next floor. Attachment:
IMG_20210509_095251037.jpg [ 1.45 MiB | Viewed 1697 times ]
Now the first sailors came on board. the guys are from northstar models Attachment:

And so the bridge can also be installed. Attachment:

Nice work on the detailing. This scale would suit my eyesight nicely but I've only got room for 1/700 scale models.
