Thales,
Great job on this build. I just watched the entire video series and thoroughly enjoyed it. Your work is very neat and precise (just like your work-space). Thanks for sharing and instructing.

I'm getting close on the 5in and 40mm AA guns. They should be going on the ship within a couple of days, then I'll have the footage to knit together for the next video.

A formidable armament.

And I finally got the latest video edited. I spent the last week in a ITIL class and hopefully I passed the exam. I didn't have the energy to work on anything else.

So now... the 5in and 40mm bofors are now done. Next up are the 20mm Oerlikons.

Seeing you build this ship reminded me that I still have a bismarck to finish, but I never have time ...
The videos have interesting instructions, thanks and nice model

I just happened across your build and it's nothing short of AMAZING!! Your work is really fantastic!

[Thales]

Here is a media format question... does breaking it down into logical sections like I've been doing... a video for the hull, video for the forward superstructure, video for the main batteries, etc... does that make sense or would it be better to have an update every week or two that is ~1min long instead of batching that content up into a 4-8wk chunk?

[Thales]

I put the Oerlikons on last night and they look pretty good. I hope to edit the next video tonight.

Taking shape.
