Hi Nigel, Your turret is looking great. You did a beautiful job with the wood graining. I will be watching for part 3. Have a great day. Jeff
Thanks, you too!
The timber deck looks great.
Very nice Nigel, the decking really came out good
Thanks 👍
Looks fantastic nigel
Hello Nigel, Awesome job on the deck! The combination of washes was perfect. I love the final look of the deck. Ed
Glad you enjoyed it
There's quite a lot of choice when it comes to painting the non-vertical turret surfaces depending on what time in the ship's life you are representing. In the space of a week in May 1941 there were definitely three different schemes applied (dark grey on sloping and flat surfaces, dark grey on flat surface only, light grey on all surfaces). There's still evidence for and against the flat surfaces being yellow on the day the Bismarck was sunk. The point is this is a nicer subject than some of the other turrets as the model maker has some options at least rather than it just being all one colour. Great work on the wood deck btw.
I love this technique! I look forward to trying it.
Have fun!
Excellent deck
Glad you like it!
Love it so far. I have a 1/72 swordfish in the stash, would be nice to have a Bismarck turret next to it.
That would be cool!
I agree, that would be really cool!
Make a box diorama of the Swordfish flying over it
I wonder how long it will be until someone makes full interior for these turrets
For May yellow horizontal tops....for Early March to late April ...red horizontal tops....sloping sides are Anthracite grey RAL7016 from mid March to late April
January to early March sloping sides are RAL7024 dark grey.....lol...even more variations of dark grey used during testing period and on to Rheinubung..
I have heard that the yellow tops bit could be a myth??
@@NigelsModellingBench no there is proof in survivor testimony and RAF radio transmissions....Swordfish mistakenly attacked H.M.S.Sheffield and upon next wave on 26th of May the pilots were told "it is the one with the yellow turrets!"....Read survivor Otto Maus' report...the yellow only adhered to mains not secondary tops due to spray from swells.....
Yellow was used for most of May....AH visit on May 5th....Barrel tips of Bruno and Caesar were painted to match colour on tops of Anton and Dora....Tirpitz used red while leading Baltic Fleet against Russian Fleet in 1941...All Kriegsmarine ships used yellow while under Luftwaffe protection.
I choose the Missouri turret since ave several models in the works for that ship
As always Nigel your doing a wonderful job - looks superb! Now, the 1/32 WNW/Border Lancaster. When will you be back online with that?
Regards
Geoff
Very soon! days...
Great job at making your decking look so realistic!
You should try it Ron!!
That deck looks very nice. I wonder if it would make for a cool effect to give the metal parts a satin varnish and the deck a matt varnish.
Let me guess: you mean to scratch-build the rest of the ship, yes?
Hi Nigel, looking good so far. But, where did you get the reference for that Black line around the bottom of the barbet? I don't think it is correct. I cannot find any good photo's that show a Black band. Plus I cant find it called for in model kits from all the major manufacturers. Including Takom's instructions for this turret kit.
It is all over Bismarck Andy. Seems like all the manufacturers must have missed it?
@@NigelsModellingBench I looked at loads of online painting guides etc. None of them showed a black line on the turrets. Couldnt find photo evidence either.
Are you for real Andy?? Put Bismarck b turret into Google images and see what comes up. Ignore kit instructions or pics of models, look at the real thing.
@@NigelsModellingBench OK, I see where you are coming at. But how do you know it is Black? In some pics it looks more a dark grey.
I have painted it in rubber black. Which is a very dark grey....and i just noticed.. it is included on the box art!!
have you got your eye out, for the Scharnhorst & Missouri 1/72nd Turrets? LP-34 is the colour I've got - oops.
I may get Scharnhorst James, but Missouri is just a plain flat deck? At least Yamato has a couple of Hatches.. Why do you say Oops on the LP34? You'll just have to get a Bismarck Turret?? Maybe Scharnhorst was the same colour as Bismarck though??
@@NigelsModellingBench every single surface ship of the Kriegsmarine had Grau 51 for the hull and Grau 50 for the superstructures, so yes, Bismarck and Scharnhorst had the same basecolours. Try to avoid using RAL colour numbers. RAL didn't even exit when these colours where introduced (1896).BTW the black wasn't black but dark gray.
@@NigelsModellingBench I was sorting paints and I discovered it was Lp-34, we'll um not a turret as per say a 1/200th yamato from dave coleys
So you got it then? If so you'll need a few jars of LP12.
Yes, I have painted the "black" in LP65, Rubber black which is indeed a dark grey. Does my Grau 50 look close?
So do we ask Border to do a complete Bismarck with interior, in 1/72nd scale?
Sod it.. lets go 1/35..
@@NigelsModellingBench go large or go home i suppose. can you imagine how much photo etch you'd need...
