hey guys here is me and my fathers build... here is my layout with new rib locations 10 mm ribs 76 mm apart. as you can see in the pic the new ribs ar in different spots then where the kit puts them lol. This made things a little difficult but this is what i came up with. drew up the new ribs on the rib template. there are 2 ribs on the original rib template not used to make up the new ribs. with any luck my drawn ribs will be good haha
Yeah Lloyd, Bismarck is supposed to be 68 2/3 inches long by 9 5/6 inches at the beam. Is that a 30 cm ruler on the stern of the plans? It might just be a trick of the picture but it looks smaller than it should. J
have fun with the build i did, and its even better you have someone building another with you that way you can help each other. keep us posted
the plans are from strike models and the ruler is in inches haha the only problom with the plans are that there are so meny abreviations on the plans and i dont know what any of them are, I called strike models and they dont know what they are nither and there is no legend for them
Post some pictures of the marks in question, we might be able to help. Some of the guys here have been staring at plans for 30+ years now I think.
Also, if you are still having trouble, I've got a copy of the anatomy of the ship series on the bizmarck and some detailed german plans drafted in ~1990 I think (I don't read german) that may help clarify what is going on.
haha i never noticed them when i was building mine, this thread just pointed them out to me, now im wondering what they are.
lol ya there beside every part on the plans. a nother thing i noticed is on the one sheet of plans i have where the rib template is it shows the side view of the fron and one of the rear and in the middle it looks like it would be the middle rib so rib 8 on the plans, its not to scale its almost and inch taller the top half of the rib lines up though so i have no idea. mabe one of you guys know i have a pic of it above its the sheet thats hung on the wall
That pic can you take a seperate picture of it but closer so we can see what it is your referring to exactly? I can't see the plan detail from that one pic you have already posted . Is it the pic with the plan on the table and on the wall? , if so take a closer pic of the plan on the wall.
ok guys, here is a pic of rib 8 widest part of the ship, waying on the side view of the hull. you notice how the hight is perfict. here is the other pic menchined befor of the front and the rear half of the ship with im gessing center rim (8) and here is the 2 ribs compaired
Those are just identifications of the sections using numbers and letters to identify the different sections. Usually the letters indicate the Frame and the numbers identify the rib. I believe the sections or frames are lettered followed by the number of the rib. A frame rib 1 A frame Rib 12 . I think it's something like that. Don't worry about what it means just know that it clearly marks a section'
ok sounds good i will just ignore it for now, i will now start on re cutting out al the templates with the new ribs i drew up, hopfuly it will be ok. i know its for from now but will 2 little trailer brake batterys work 12 v 5mah batterys work for theys ships?
