Hi All
Hope everyone had a good Christmas.
I am new to the model shipbuilding world so if I ask silly questions please forgive me.
Over the years I have been harping on about building a scale battleship but for one reason or the next I have never gotten around to it, well turns out that those closest to me have had enough of me talking about it and decided to give me a push and purchased me a set of Blueprints for my Christmas.
The Blueprints I have been given are a 1:100 set of the Bismarck in 1940 by (if reading the German in the bottom right is correct) Hans Gally, I would have preferred the Yamato but hey its the thought that counts, haha.
Looking at these plans look complicated and I have just realised I have no idea how to read plans, why didn't I just ask for a model kit by revell or trumpeter and follow the step by step plans, haha oh yeah its the challenge and my family will regret buying these plans.
Sorry I am making this post longer than it needs to be, the first question of countless others is, how do I go about reading these plans to make a hull, any good tutorials or instructions or kind members that can give me a dummies guide? Also any other help or advice is appreciated, well maybe apart from give up and go home and scratch building isn't for morons type of thing
.
Cheers
Kane
