Hi Mattyb, if you're going to make your Bismarck an R/C model, the aquadhere PVA stuff is NOT waterproof and may perish over time. For static models its perfectly fine.

Yeah mate,
I'm in Brisbane. There are lots of threads on this but I picked up Aquadhere Durabond from Bunnings. Its a polyurethane glue - takes hours to dry though..

Hi All,
Finally finished with sanding the hull of my Richelieu, I made a slight miscalculation of the positions of the two forward propeller shafts, but fortunately it didn't cause much of a disruption.
But then a major disaster struck. Part of the support for the rudder (part of the keel) broke off. Luckily, I was able to fix it by cutting a joint in the keel and glue on (with epoxy glue) a piece of plexiglass.
So, I am now back to some more filler and sanding - - - will it ever stop?
Apart from those little mishaps, my Richelieu is progressing slowly but beautifully.
Poul

So the tense wait begins - who's going to get their 4,5,6,7 first.. There'll be a lot of clock watchers between now and then I'm sure. This is the issue they give us the free stuff - tool kit etc..
I can see it now, cries of "I still haven't got my 4,5,6,7 and I 'm in Melbourne but that guy in Birdsville has.." or "I only recevied issues 4,6,7 they left out 5.." or what about..." All my issues were broken in the mail, I can't use them..." heh
Happy building to all us aussie bismarckers.. (said with wry grin)
