Awesome build and way cool that its on display. You did wonders. Noticed you stayed with the printed anchor chain - personal preferences?

The case was an expensive project--about five times the cost of the ship. But my wife said, "It's an heirloom; do it right." I love my wife. --David

Model Contest
I took my GPM Bismarck and four paper aircraft to a regional scale model contest in Oshkosh today. Everyone there was asked to vote for seven models out of some 300 entries. The top seven vote getters would each receive a plaque. There were some really impressive plastic models there. I entered the only paper mnodels--Halinski Wildcat, P-39, and Hurricane, and Modelcard "Vought Vindicator."
My Bismarck was one of the top seven. All those amazing plastic models and my paper model Bismarck takes a plaque -- and the only one in the "Watercraft" category. It was a good day.

Congratulations on a very well deserved plaque, David!!
My head is playing with the idea of building this kit... One year it took for you... Maybe 2 for me? Thank you for keep on sharing the "Adventures of the Paper Bismarck". (You are more than welcome to take it to our Model Fiesta in San Antonio, TX, February 2016) |

Beautiful work. I'm about to start my first paper kit after being a long-time plastic and metal modeller. I have the GPM Conte di Cavour and would love tips. I'm aiming to go straight kit without embellishments for my first. I think this is a Chinese reprint as some of the instruction pages have a mix of Polish and Chinese. It's labelled Link removed, Pirate Site Print quality appears pretty good and cardboard sheets are labelled in Chinese and english for the size .e.g 2mm.

Rumbeard,
Unfortunately, I think the site you linked, is a pirate site, as they are hosting scans of commercially available kits. I will agree that their interface is very snazzy, and makes it look like a vendor, all the kits they are showing are pirated models Free models being offered for sale, commercial models having been scanned, and offered for sale. I would have rather you asked on the forum about your first paper model, as we could have educated you on what is what, and what to look out for, and steered you clear of pirate sites Rick
