| | 26 Jan 2011 12:16 AM | | Not bad for an old guy.. referring to Bismarck not me of course. The ARMOR after further inspection I found it aborbed manybb dents so it did hold up but some cannons were firing well above specs maybe not on the pressure side but on the tighter tolerances of the inside diameter of the barrels.Those shots blew right through. I did find a couple of bb dings on the A turret mag but fortunatly they weren't deep enough to jam the mag. I'll be sleeving those in silicone tubing to protect them next time. MO will defintly have stronger internal armor and sleeved mag protection. | | | Bismarck

| | 26 Jan 2011 04:06 AM | | Have fun repairing that. I think I'll try for a more bulletproof superstructure on my ship, though. | | | There are 101 different types of people: those who understand binary, those who don't, and those who just can't count... | |

| | 26 Jan 2011 09:17 AM | | HOLY CRAP Admiral!!! He must whistle when he sails now with all of those holes. Looks like you had fun though, which is of course what counts. If you want to rearmour the Bis, you should try the plastic canvas we use here. The key is that is it flexible and absorbs impacts. I have never had a bb penetrate the internal armour. Pity we can't get you and Bis here for the Shearwater show, he would be an AWESOME answer to when people ask if we really shoot at each other. J PS I have some great, rugged Allied paper if you need armour for the MO!  | | | "There it is again...kind of a BOOM sound" -short lived Allied lookout | |

| | 26 Jan 2011 03:51 PM | | What is that stuff you have JAY? I could use new armor for the MO and Yammer and Bismarck. Tom Cromwell could use some too. Where do you get it? | | | Bismarck

| | 26 Jan 2011 03:53 PM | | That superstructure had tons of holes in it prior to Nats just more noticable now than ever before. I have a new replacement for it but I may use it for detail pretty non battle cruising and keep the current as is with a little clean up on it. | | | Bismarck
