Jeremy, I am starting on my Tamiya Bismarck and I am very interested to talk to you about the PE and accessories you used on your Bismarck. I know I will be
planking with 1 x 3 basswood planks and probably using the WEM detail set, but where did you get the brass barrels for your build?
I decided to do it full hull and just finished making a solid Oak base for it (and will use brass finals to mount it on). I have to figure how and what I want to use to mark the base with her name and crest, but that will come later. I also plan to use WEM paints to do the finish, but looking for a US distributor, if any is available. I know Free Time Hobbies started carrying them, but they only have US Pre 1944 colors currently. Any help?
I will be doing a WIP thread in several parts as the project progresses, but I know this will be a very long process with all the detail going into it. I kind of need a long project that I can tinker with now and then, and this one proves to be such a case. Did you ever finish yours? I know you were along quite a ways, at least from the last photos I saw.
Anyway, any help on this build would be greatly appreciated.
