Thanks for the nice words, Tia.
Yes it’s true, the masking took a lot of time and effort, but makes the ship a lot more interesting.
Of course I continue to model. But I briefly switched divisions and am building now the millennium falcon. There is also a build report here.
CEC YT-1300 Millennium Falcon by Bandai
As reference material I can only recommend the book
Anatomy of the Ship / The Battleship Bismarck
by Stefan Draminski.
This is the second red book that gtdeath13 shows.
It is full of detailed drawings, a rigging sheet is included and so much more.
There is almost nothing better to build an authentic Bismarck.
I hope that one day I will see the build report of your Bismarck here.
