Tirpitz with this and that, slow return for me

Wether you like it or not, here's more fun and games 😉

Working on the bridge levels, added a pe box section with drs and wood deck. Going to have to think long and hard about painting this all, have bought a masking set. Nothing is fixed, thankfully

Afternoon folks, still breathing

So after hrs of PE practice I have found the perfect CA and it's not the usual 'specialist' ones. Its good old locktite orginal, it's not too thick or thin, wicks well, allows for wiggle room and easily applied with a thin brass rod.
curve needs to be better on the other side but reasonable happy, nerves holding out

Blooming fine work to my eyes Bob.

Cheers Richard, appreciated

Looks to me as if you're fine now with the "dreaded PE". Railings look great.

[BattleshipBob]

Otherside done, and better, especially the curve

Looking fine Bob. Certainly the PE adds some lovely detail.

Hi, Bob, my apologies. I had missed this build somehow so I have just had a good read through it. Excellent work, Sir. The PE work is first class and certainly improves the model. It will look magnificent when completed.

Many thanks all, very kind of you all, much appreciated,
pleased with progress with the terrors of pe! Hard to believe that good old basic locktite has transformed my meagre efforts!

So more work. Added the two sentry type boxs, fited to both Bismarck and tirpitz, been through my many books and they can be seen. Apparently a shelter with a binocular stand inside incase it persistently rained lol.

Had a nightmare with the ladders for the lower bridge, discovered that the steps don't have the cut outs at each end, to allow them to be twisted?? The other ladders on the frets have the cut outs??

The two lower levels are now joined but the top two are dry fitted, lot of pe to do next, oh ere!

Bob, you are making this look easy mate. Very nice work indeed.
