I would like to make more often updates, but it is a very slow process. But welcome to my buildlog!
Hi , I saw your rope machine in the back. Finally, did you have successful rope making with it ?
yes it works. but i have no need for it yet. C'est une moyenne patente(lol).
Ok, thanks
Oui mais avec la tendance kit bashing, on devient "patenteux". Lol.

thank you sir.
In regards to the discussion on how small is small, I decided not to attach the propellers to the lifeboats. I tried to take a pic but these micropropellers are too small to be seen, so yes. Out they go.
Next, the liferings. Attached is a photo of what I am supposed to use as a lifering; ie. those little red circles. I decided not to use these and purchase some from another source that actually look like liferings.

little update. I decided to "modify" the lifeboats by chosing a different brown and not adding the red to the hull.
FInished the two planes and the secondary armament. I am currently working on the main guns, after which the rigging will start.

Good morning Jack. She is impressive. Cheers Grant
Thank you, Grant.
Bit nothing in comparison to your Victory model.
And now begins the rigging. Photos of my model to come soon, but in the meantime, enjoy a photo from a guy on Youtube that built the model. At least I don't think there is any running rigging. But instead what you have are antennas and standing rigging

Yeah, mostly anthenas, Jack! However, at least a few running rigging should be - flag signals and the main flag!
thanks for the information. I also forgot about the two cranes. I haven't installed them yet because I am afraid of breaking them as I add the rigging.Yeah, mostly anthenas, Jack! However, at least a few running rigging should be - flag signals and the main flag!

Thank you for the link. Those scratch built models are fantastic. The match stick model by Miguel Ovando from Chile is amazing.I found this cool website that reveals some of the technical data related to the Bismarck:
Bismarck Technical Data
Bismarck was armed with eight 38 cm SK C/34 guns arranged in four twin gunturrets: two forward"Anton" and "Bruno" and two aft "Caesar" and "Dora". Secondary armament consisted of twelve 15 cm L/55 guns, sixteen 10.5 cm L/65 guns, sixteen 3.7 cm L/83 guns and twelve 2 cm anti aircraft guns. I didn't count them all on my model, but I would assume that they are all there lol

A bit off topic but I decided that my next model is going to be the MS Constitution. I was going to do the Sphinx, but I'll do that one at a later date.
Jack, it just gets better and better. Great job! Magic Mike
