Last pics for a bit as I have had enough of pe for the moment I have been working on the aft signal station and a few other bits.

[peterairfix]

Just had another of my missing magazines so I can fit the last side on the aft superscruture.

And on the topic I have just started working on the main mast.

Sorry I'm late in Peter.
Had a read through from the start, that's some build and looking really good now. :thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:
Admire your work on the PE, is that all soldered work. ?

[peterairfix]

Admire your work on the PE, is that all soldered work.

Just good old super glue as it's been designed to be slotted together

Finally received my missing parts for forward superstructure and I have fitted them in their respective places ready to start cladding them in pe.
And I have finished the main mast.

Coming along nicely Peter. This will be an impressive beast when complete. I have the Trumpeter 1/200 Bismarck so I watch this with interest. Great work so far and good luck with the rest of the build.
Cheers
Paul

Hi Peter
This is really starting to look the part now. Well done with the PE. Do you have all the parts you need yet?

Do you have all the parts you need yet?

Not yet as it's a part work series and it's from 2007 so some are harder to get especially when you get into the 100s

Peter,
All coming on very nicely.

[peterairfix]

Started cladding the forward superstructure and constructed the two wing bridges.

So far I have 105 magazines out of 140
And I have reached magazine 82.
And here are some of the areas I have put photo etch on.
