Hello,

I thought I would do another quick project. Here is Micromodelle Heidelberg's BISMARCK in 1:1750.

Looking forward to your completed model.
BTW, this micromodelle look more refined than the micromodels from the UK

I bought this particular model about 7 years ago at a model show in Vienna.

As a whole, I think the new generation models lack the charm of the originals.

I can't wait to see how you apply your skill to this model. All of your previous projects have been remarkable.

@ wireandpaper, thank you, I have been looking forward to this one for awhile!

@ Don, thank you very much for the kind words!

So, Ive mounted the decks to 2mm cardboard and applied the sides to all them. I've done a bit of scratch building on the superstructure to make it more accurate.

It was such a pretty day, we got out on the lake for awhile.

Hello! More progress on the Bismarck. Additional scratch building around the funnel which I reshaped to more accurately reflect the real one. Added the armored searchlights using 1/4 of a peppercorn. Replaced the kit rangefinders with peppercorns. Built a more accurate forward mast. Scratch built several components of the hanger and aft superstructure.
