1/1200 Sink the Bismarck HMS Suffolk

Post by Bissyboat »

Out in the pond with boat miniatures, again. This ship was historical. It was the first warship in Royal Navy to identify Bismarck, thus The Battle of the Denmark Straight had begun. I soon realised after building Ark Royal and Bismarck that rigging with sewing thread was not the right way forward. Instead I used acrylic thread and it looked far better. Never looked back since. Added scuttles. Must´ve drilled over hundred of them and the white ensign designed on Illustrator.

That looks lovely. I had to change the bow on mine.
So many models, so little time.
