Amati Bismarck 1:200 [COMPLETED BUILD]

In regards to the discussion on how small is small, I decided not to attach the propellers to the lifeboats. I tried to take a pic but these micropropellers are too small to be seen, so yes. Out they go.

Next, the liferings. Attached is a photo of what I am supposed to use as a lifering; ie. those little red circles. I decided not to use these and purchase some from another source that actually look like liferings.

And now begins the rigging. Photos of my model to come soon, but in the meantime, enjoy a photo from a guy on Youtube that built the model. At least I don't think there is any running rigging. But instead what you have are antennas and standing rigging

Yeah, mostly anthenas, Jack! However, at least a few running rigging should be - flag signals and the main flag! ;)

thanks for the information. I also forgot about the two cranes. I haven't installed them yet because I am afraid of breaking them as I add the rigging.

Bismarck was armed with eight 38 cm SK C/34 guns arranged in four twin gunturrets: two forward"Anton" and "Bruno" and two aft "Caesar" and "Dora". Secondary armament consisted of twelve 15 cm L/55 guns, sixteen 10.5 cm L/65 guns, sixteen 3.7 cm L/83 guns and twelve 2 cm anti aircraft guns. I didn't count them all on my model, but I would assume that they are all there lol

A bit off topic but I decided that my next model is going to be the MS Constitution. I was going to do the Sphinx, but I'll do that one at a later date.
