elmarriachi Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 *** UPDATE *** ... And one last update, before the final fotos for the gallery could be made The stairways are finished, painted and mounted. Also some further add-on parts on the maindeck. The flaggs (fabric) are formed with white-glue and water mix, then glued to the masts with super glue. The display was painted in palisander and clear coat.... then the name plates follow on both sides. Generally speaking - that's it..... most of the work is done, just some reworks to be done, which I will note during the next days I think ..

Harquebus Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I appreciate your talent very much and your willingness to document this build. What I find most striking is your treatment of the wooden decks as most people, it seems, just adhere the deck to the model and call it 'done'. The material most often used was teak wood but regardless of which type, wood did not stay as pristine looking as the day it was delivered from the lumberyard. I much prefer the light gray wash you used to lighten the wood and the resulting variety of tonal colors both light and dark that exist on your deck are a fine, fine enhancement. Also, many builders seem to over-weather their models of Bismarck; adding large amounts of rust, peeling paint and the like but it is regarded that Bismarck was not in service long enough to receive a lot of abuse. You kept the wear and tear to a balanced and subtle minimum. Fine work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
