The Ship Model Forum

Hi, Bernd!

I know , you use the very reliable data abvout the Bismark.
Also I walked around www today- yes, the antimagnetic system can consist of few separate coils - no need in springs around the whole hull.. .

The result: I have to:
- do some additional works with my model;
- say: thank you!

With best regards -
Anatoly

Yes, there are Pictures of bs that Show seperate leads in the MES. Also known from tp.

Keep us updated!

Hallo, friends!

I've made some changes with my Bismarck hull:
- the MES cable was removed to Spt.10,5
-the sterh frames were smoothed a little bit.

With best regards-

Indeed the stern looks better! My question concerns the base pedestals, these fit into pockets molded or fitted into the bottom of the hull? I haven't decided as to what sort of base to mount my Missouri, though may go with keel blocks and a removable clear case because of dust. Yours looks quite nice and does get around possible issues with a warping base. Here in Alaska the extreme dryness indoors can cause issues with wood.

Hi, Tom!
There are few ancient photos about my Bismsrck base.
The material of the base is oak.
The only minus of the construction- two big holes in the hull bottom- but they are never seen!

That's an awesome result Anatoliy! Beats any Trumpeter hull no matter how much remodelling it has. Love the rivets etc. on the plating, you have even the tiniest grating!

One word... "Spectacular"
A true masterpiece in the making. I eagerly await more.

Hi, friends!
Thanks for your compliments! They are a good support in my work!

Anatoly,

Where did you find your hull documentation - I've been looking all over the place for hull plating diagrams....

Great job so far!

Take care,

John

Hi, John !
To be frankly, I have no exact documents about the hull. I tried to order the plans from Harhaus and even from Blohm&Voss - but without a success. So , I use technical descriptions (for example-
"The Bismarck- the history, the legend and the model"- from Hachette (Russian issue)), the Gally's drawings, the Harhaus 1/100 Bismarck model drawings, lots of books about the ship, and - kindly help from the shipmodellers! For example, lots of information I get from topic "Bismarck 1/100: Reconstruction of the hull" - it is here, in Online Scratchbuild- the autor is 109 (Bernd)- his help was (and is!) really huge.
And, of course, I work with photos..
So, there are lots of improvisations and technical "guesses " in my work- and my work is open for criticism!
With best regards-
Anatoly
