Hi

Thanks all for watching.
I will update my building log as often as possible to see the progress.

Hi.

Maybe some have a DIN rules about windows and portholes used on german warships.

thanks for help

This is an amazing piece of work. However I am sure the big work is underneath, I mean the hundreds of accurate and precise drawings involved in such a project must be outstanding, congratulations for your fantastic project.

Hi

Thank a lot for good words. Its nothing special ) I only try to build model as good as possible for me and to be nearest an original warship.

Hi, wow another ship built out of paper, what are you using, my model is being built out of 1 mm cardboard sheeting, nice and cheap, be keeping a close interest on your build, I have made a few mistakes on the way, still stuck at the Bow, the hardest part of my ship.

hello amdownunder

I use to model building every kind of paper, and cardboard,pressboard (0.1 to 1mm - to laser cutting). Range of thicknnes is from about 0,1 to 2mm. Everything I cut use laser device. Glued use a contact glue or glue for wood. I use copies from original bismarck shipyards drawings bought in bundesarchive and huge quantity of photos a mamy books and movies from the wreck. First watch all I have for element than I make a project in Autocad and finally cut be the laser and glue.

Hi,

impressive in many ways and I like the originality of your method ! Again one of the charms of our hobby : how to come to a final quality result with totally different techniques and materials, wood, plastic, sheetmetal... or cardboard.

Please go on with your fine craftsmanship and good quality photos to share !
