22 Jun 11 - 12:05 PM (#3174579) Subject: RE: BS: Superb Battleship Bismark replica From: Little Hawk I've been interested in model ships all my life, and I really appreciate a well-built one that looks like the real thing. This particular one is a very fine example, probably took at least 6 months to finish it, I would think. One of the neatest features of these big warships is the wooden decks, and if they are done right on a model they look marvelous. There there are the delicate railings! For that you have to used photoetched parts to get it to look in scale. |

However, when I got to the rigging I had to give up. It's not that difficult but it's terribly tedious. Maybe I'll get back to it some winter before I become completely blind. Cheerily, Charley Noble |
