What a brilliant job Gordon, really neat and clean. She looks fantastic.
I know what you mean abot the progress, I will be starting 138 in the next few days......crawling through thousands of tiny parts that you fit on and don't seem to be visable afterwards!

Aresome job Gordon. I'm sure you'd give Poul a run for his money if you tried a scratch build.
The Finished Bismarck award is going to be a very tightly run battle at Easter.

Now on the final stages of the build and my God this is taking a long time..
Don't know about anyone else but I have a bucket load of bits still on the frets? I may have missed a few but there seems to be an awful lot left over!

That's a superb job Gordon. Very well done indeed. The Best Bissy model is going to be hotly contested indeed. Have a K for good measure.
What's the next project ? It is the Yamoto ?

Oh My God!
Gordon, that is an amazing job. I am so impressed with your work, just fantastic.
More K is in order, I think!!
I am still slowly getting through the last issues, just finished 138 and starting 139, so still some way to go. I hope mine looks as good as yours.

Thanks for the comments guys, its much appreciated. It’s a strange feeling when, after three years work, you finally put it on the shelve and say 'its done'. Mark, I have signed up for the Yamato and received my first parts just before the holidays but think I will have a go at the F16 Santa brought me. Partly for a change and also let me get some stock of issues before I start the Yamato. That was one of the frustrating parts of the Bissy - completing all your months issues in a couple of hours. Not the last 4 of course...

You forget we have seen your build Eric... Its up there with the best of them.
The only reason I have managed to complete so soon is due to the snow. You are probably the same in Oban but its like Ice Station Zebra up here. Never known anything like it but Its done wonders for the Bissy build!

Aaarrghh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, this is it! I'll put my Bissie for bidding, starting at EUR1,00 on E-bay now that I've seen yours, Gordon!
Before acting so, here's my last K to you!

Absolutely brilliant, but haven't you got the wrong colouring on the FRD capstans,ie, green/red. Julian.

Really superb Gordon. Have a K.
Is this one gonna sail or is it meant for the show case?
If the latter is true (hopeful for such a great model), how is the show case gonna be constructed?
