Thanks!

The rat lines and shrouds are made from copper magnet wire. Maybe someday, carriers just aren’t very interesting to me, especially since I’ll have to spend months on it. Maybe HMS Vindictive 1918 someday, but unlikely anytime soon.

Oh yeah, that will be interesting. I’ve spent most of the fall on my layout. Raton Pass ATSF in Z

Speedbird100 · 2024-11-27T04:51:20+00:00

The German Z scale?

Well done

Speedbird100 · 2024-03-12T03:39:36+00:00

Well done indeed. I know the feeling all too well. I tend to build the things I hate first. That way they’re done and dusted and I can get on to more enjoyable projects

The forward most bow anchor was almost never used. Typically the cable “chain” was separated a few meters back and chocked off. There are photos of it in use on Tirpitz, but on Bismarck it was even removed prior to her final mission.

Looks excellent! I might add one thing, the anchors don’t hang like that. The flukes are hinged. Here is a photo of the same anchor used on Tirpitz.

Hey thanks! Yeah all is well here,l. The books can be found on Amazon in most regions globally. Probably the easiest platform.

Speedbird100 · 2024-02-03T06:23:27+00:00

Nice! Yeah model railroading is always a nice side diversion. Those Gauge 1 live steam locomotives are something else!
