OMWB "On My Workbench"
Well today i did some more work on my Model of the German battleship Bismarck is one of the most famous warships of the Second World War. Named after the 19th century German chancellor Otto von Bismarck, Bismarck's fame came from the Battle of the Denmark Strait in which the flagship and pride of the British Royal Navy, the battlecruiser HMS Hood, was sunk in May 1941, from Churchill's subsequent order to "Sink the Bismarck" and from the relentless pursuit by the Royal Navy that ended with her loss only three days later, i might build a model of HMS Hood next, however since this model of Bismarck is just over 39” long id going to be hard pushed to find a place to display it, so another Ship might not be a good idea.
Can i just point out, that my model looks nothing like the above yet, although once the main hull is painted in "Hull Red" it should start to look good, A worthless bit of info here, on the model above you can see the gray upper part of the hull, the black and white stripes in the middle were put there to make the ship look smaller than it actually is. Clearly this was not that effective as it was well and truly shafted by a plane jamming the ships rudder, so the ship could only go around in circles, which lets be honest is not a lot of good to you when you are trying to flee.
i also have the Fantastic Model of the Avro Lancaster “Dam Buster” WW2 Bomber, which im looking forward to, ive got 135 Reference Photos so the model should be pretty realistic when im detailing it.
