Nice one Tony,

Four years well spent – detailing looks superb. 

Either a very close shot or she’s a big girl – what size is she ? – look forward to seeing more piccys in the future.

Cheers – Ken

Nice one Tony.

Tell me Tony why did it take you 4 years to build, the reason why I am asking this, is because sometime ago I took a subscription out with Hachette Partwork and so far I am up to issue 39 and I have a long way to go with a total of 144 issues. I am fed up with getting monthly about 4 issues from Hachette Partwork Ltd.

Would you know of any other Company/s who supply the same issues as Hachette Partwork? perhaps 10 issues per month.

Hi

This is a section for Fleetscale models only.

[Vinnie BraniganParticipant @vinniebranigan92297]

No it’s not. You can’t ‘claim’ forum threads, sorry. 

I’m the only one that gets to do that.

[FleetscaleParticipant @fleetscale]

Sorry I thought it was linked to the Fleetscale gallery.

Just one of the smaller inconveniences of running a DG is that it’s very difficult to get people to post only what you want them too, where you want them too.

Dearly beloved

This afternoons reading is taken from the book of Vinnie chapter 12, verse 4.

And lo you shall do only as you are bidden and shalt not stray from the true postings lest you bring forth the terrible power of the red switch.For mighty cities can rise and fall, the seas boil to nothing and England win at cricket before ye may get one past the might and awesome power that is the one true Vinnie.

Cheer up Vinnie its nearly weekend.

I hope I have not offended anyone with my semi religious jape,

Oh and Vinnie I have decided to call my latest boat after somebody elses god (Mo something or other) so I expect to be depth charged next time I sail at Runcorn. 

The photo of the Bismark is truly fantastic, that is a model that I would like to build.

You are forgiven my Son.  For it sayeth in the great book of Editing…..Forgive the little fat ones for they  knoweth not what they do.  (Or Say….or anything else for that matter).  And so it shall come to pass…..that other than Fleetscale will come to posted in the Fleetscale album….and these others will come to inherit the forum….and……Aw sod it, I’m off for cup of tea….

Hi Charles,

Re your part work weeklies,arn’t they a bit expensive buying a kit that way? If yours is of a popular scale then perhaps you could get the bits to finish your boat from on of the Advertisers in MB.

i have sent a couple of pictures of my fleetscale bismarck to fleetscale to put on here but yet to see them it is a fleetscale semi kit and not one built from a magazine thats why its taken 4 years and still un finnished

[Len OchiltreeParticipant @lenochiltree67043]

Hi Anthony,

You can put your own photos on here direct,you do not have to go via Fleetscale,just follow the instructions.

[Pete ThompsonParticipant @petethompson59257]

Charles

The Hachette Bismarck series is not a commercially available kit, it can only be bought via Hachette on a weekly or monthly basis ie one mag per week via the newsagent or 4 mags per month direct from Hachette.

The kit originates from Amati so it may go on sale to retail at some point in the future but even then it will be only sold as a complete kit and not with magazines or on a bit by bit basis.

If your not to happy with building the model the basis advised then why did you buy into it in the fist instance, surely you were aware of this from the outset??
