I just took pieces of 1x2 and cut out the shape of the hull in two of the pieces and then put it all together. I added legs to it. But you dont have to. It has come in handy so many times this year!

You could always add a third pump and knock that 75rounder down to 50.

still too lazy for that. I have a good setup right now. I think I would be more effective if I mastered what I got rather than putting more on.

Alex,
He's still a great ship! But Like i keep telling people, you know to know his history to really respect the ship!!!

The history of the Bismarck:

Built.
Sortied.
Got a lucky shot.
Lost pursuers
Admiral in charge foolishly discards the value of radio silence. Re-located.
Hit by a golden torpedo.
Hunted down by British battleships and made a floating wreck.
Scuttled by own crew.

Nick I think you forgot to mention the British turning the Bismarck into a burning inferno before she was scuttled. A decent enough ship in the hobby, but militarily a waste of material in real life.

This is what happens to Bismarcks who sortie alone!



Alex - on topic, are you planning on playing with your rudder linkage this winter? Moving to gears for better throw?

I don't think Bismarck and Tirpitz ever sortied together. As the Bismarck's famous sortie was before Tirpitz was fully combat ready, and hence why Tirpitz didn't go with.

I'm not so sure I am looking forward to the two of you guarding a cargo ship. Its going to be hard to get around you to get a shot in on the little maru with two floating walls guarding it.

Looking forward to seeing the new improved Bismarck, and new Tirpitz on the water.
