1/200 Gpm Bismark with laser cut frames

Peterairfix · Nov 29, 2020

I have decided to ditch my other bismark build as I am not satisfied with quality and its costing me a fortune in knife blades.
And being laser cut it should go together a little bit easier.

Wow, thats a difficult model to build. Good luck with it.

not only difficult, but also it will be a very big model with 1,25 m length in scale 1:200
Great, that you have started the log

The easy part of the build is done and I have added more strengthers and cut up strips of card to fill in the area between the bulkheads

looks like it's going to be very impressive indeed. Did you finish the Titanic?

I built a 1/200 scale card model of the Iron Duke a few years ago. I fibreglassed and painted the hull, and added a timber deck and plastic fittings.

This looks like quite the adventure. At some point I’m building the AVRO Arrow CF-105. Will watch this build closely.

Started on covering the lower Hull the only pain is it needs two layers of glue as the card is so porous.

Sorry about the big jump in updates but I have lost a lot of pics but I have finished off the Hull and now started on the aft structure and started replacing some parts with the laser cut after market parts.
