Dear Mark
" ..... I will get back to it ..." The most sad words in the modelling fraternity, I know how you feel. My new workshop is all now complete and is begging me to occupy it, in between earning a living !! However, I have book time off for the Brighton Modelworld (Friday 18 Feb to Sunday 20 Feb) and will have my Bismarck at the Warship Squadron stand by the boating pool. This year I will not be bringing my Yamato steam plant (I can't run it in steam because of elf and safeness (even though, as a safety professional, I have a full risk assessment for it) and even running it on a compressor now requires both a boiler certificate and a safety certificate for the compressor.
I will therefore take the opportunity (grockles' and anoracks' questions permitting) to spend 3 uninterupted days (the Wife only comes along for 1 day and gets easily bored after a few hours) continuing the Bissy building (parts 139 to 144)

Nice to see you back Popeye. Sadly the HSE are destroying many hobbies and past times. I used to work as a volunteer in Kew Bridge Steam Museum, where operating Victorian steam engines is a risky process. Keep your eyes and ears open, and your fingers out, or it's going to hurt ! What else do you need to know ?
How much more have you got left to do on your Bismarck ?

Happy snaps of the warship squadron stand and anything generally shiny at the show on your return. Please Popeye sir! Ahh issues 136 to 140 how innocuous it sounds until you open the issues up, still flufftering with those 4 issue me self. If you sneak up sideways and squint out the corner of the eyes at the pile of bits left to attach, it don't look half as daunting, a tot of rum before hand helps to.

Here I am again, I have not completed anything on the ship, but new interest has sparked me to write again, sorting out esc's and twin screw drives, I did modify so it has three screws back a year ago but have not drilled the plastic moulding yet....any tips...
best regards
