Tirpitz with this and that, slow return for me
Thanks for showing interest Chris, appreciated. Once I've added the hangers either side of the funnel, I'll do a photo. Started on the 22 odd stairs, used a box with dividers to separate the different ones- BattleshipBob

Tirpitz with this and that, slow return for me
Funnel on including Tirpitz's black funnel cap. Bismarck had a aluminum one. Plus the float plane catapult and another aft superstructure level. Starting to take shape. Started making ladders and a walk way leading to the funnel.- BattleshipBob

Tirpitz with this and that, slow return for me
Right, still here. Painted the front / rear superstructure in Kure grey ( Yamato). So not really accurate! One thing for improvement is dry fitting, slight gaps caused be PE not being a perfect fit. But end in sight and its finally coming together. Keep looking at the next build but...- BattleshipBob

What do you do with waste sprue?
Most go to recycle, long lengths i cut up into small lengths. I glue these inside superstructure and funnels etc. This allows me to attach crocodile clips to the sprue and spray without touching the plastic.- BattleshipBob

When I stopped making StuG I had boxs full of spare parts, almost a complete kit! They did post a new 1/350 HMS Rodney but it's...- BattleshipBob

Customs
Customs are very odd, bought kits and stuff from Japan, nothing. But a ship cradle from Taiwan hit by customs. Do wonder if its lucky dip sometimes. Also Never been hit by customs when buying from China? Bought the 1/200 yamato from France, nothing. But had a letter from the courier a week...- BattleshipBob
