Nigel, your work is exacting and precise. Plus you have a love of the hobby that is evident in the way you speak. Such honesty is refreshing, and I enjoy your sprue reviews and your build updates. Keep modelling and have care; that glue gets EVERYWHERE 😂😂😂😂
Hi Nigel, I have to admit I find these videos fascinating and I love that you cover all the research, prep work, thinking and reasoning behind the actual modification work, my background is toolmaking, tool and condition setting in the plastics industry but also mechanical design engineering so lots of relevance for me :) thanks so much for the videos, especially the diligence shown and the sheer number of them. With all that being said I would love to see more if you have the time :) take care.
You know it's funny.. I have many contributors, some of whom have contributed every month for a long time. they never complain or moan about anything. yet, it often appears to be people who just turn up and start complaining, criticising and moaning. Such a shame that people get so upset about something they can switch off??
Sorry to hear you’ve had people getting at you. I haven’t made a model since I was about 16, I’m now in my 40’s. Your channel and others like it have got me back into model making. I’m learning so much and your attention to detail is second to none. Thanks for all your effort and hard work. It really is appreciated.
I appreciate that. They don't get me down as such, but when you spend hours filming and editing, let alone the content to make the video, the last thing you need is wining, whinging and criticism.
@@NigelsModellingBench Nigel, there are enough of us learning tons from your vids that it will always be worth it to us. As always, your efforts are much appreciated.
I agree, ignore the haters. I'm constantly amazed at how your eye envisions these shapes in 3-D to know where to cut, add and remove material to achieve the correct hull shape. I would not have the time nor the patience to tackle a job of this magnitude but I certainly appreciate that you do - and you get these corrections make. Well done Nigel.
I know I have said before Nigel, but as an engineer I really enjoy your wonderful work on modding the ships hull. Keep it up there are plenty of us who do appreciate your time and effort.
Hi Nigel: Many thanks for creating this video regarding the modifications you made to the Trumpy 1/200 Bismarck hull. As always, you've made these alterations easy to understand and incorporate into our own projects with a higher degree of success and confidence. I'm also pleased to see, as others likely are, that the corrections are far less intensive when compared to the 1/200 Titanic and Arizona (what WAS Trumpeter thinking with those two?!). As for those who provide negative comments, the world is, sadly, full of those who feel the need to bring others down to make themselves feel better and more important/self-worthy. Some simply cannot "do" and prefer to condemn those who "can" instead of applauding and supporting their efforts. The DELETE key was developed to "manage" such individuals. Looking forward to your upcoming treatment of the "Scharnhorst" with anticipation! Cheers!
No negative comments here! Keep up the great work. About a month ago I built a jigsaw puzzle of the front page of the New York Times the day after the Titanic sank. See you next time.
I don't know what anyone would give you a hard time. I'm always amazed by the time, effort you put in to make these corrections, before I even think about the skill ! I'd make a LIDAR scan or a mould of the finished hull form. I suspect that will pay off for someone in the near future.
Hi Nige, so glad to see this video as Bismarck with advanced Pontos is my next 1/200 build after Arizona. Hull looks amazing👍🏻. Couple of things I spotted worth flagging to you. The bow anchor hole is a bit low in my opinion needs filling and moving. The haws pipe bulges on the hull sides where the anchors sit are A bit shallow and need building up, again in my opinion. Finally on the stern there is a lip that is missing and needs adding on.
Don’t let the f@@@@@@ w@@@@@@ get to you Nigel. Carry on doing what you do best, that is to make very informative and very useful content. I’m only a basic modeller at best but I really enjoy your stuff.👍😎
Hey Nigel, I remember you working on Bissy hull mods back on the mw forums when the kit came out I believe. I went to town on a Bismarck too, modded my hull but yours looks better and less work. Don't mind the whiners who just don't get it... modding, accurizing and improving stock kits is fun and challenging.
It is great to see how you have approached the corrections on this hull compared to the methods used on Titanic. I am too far on my own Bismarck to do most of these. Would be fantastic to see you work through the Scharnhorst modifications.
Great JOB. thanks for video and pictures. Now Im thinking to buy one of Trumpeter 1:200 scale Warships. Mayby Bismarck and Scharnhorst will be too difficult for me because they have armor on the sides. But USS Missouri will be ok for me. I have The Floating Drydock Plans and I Use them to correct all Model.
You've done it again, Nigel. That is very impressive work and there is absolutely no question that the end result justifies the effort put in. I can only shake my head in disbelief that some idiots would take the time to give you grief. Sadly, TH-cam comments (on any subject) seem to be a dickhead magnet. Nil Carborundum.
Yeah they where pretty similar in size Scharnhorsts length being 234.9m Beam 30m Bismarcks sitting in at 241.6m Beam 36m. But you've no doubt figured that out.
Another nice hull Nigel what do you think about the deck on Bismarck it should have camber for the water to run off but it doesn't is the Scharnhorst deck the same ? Keep up the great work mate
How is your work on the Bismarck going on? I'd love to see more on this project, especially since the dedication you put into it. The work you did on the hull alone is really impressive :-)
Hi Nigel, looks absolutely stunning and so much more realistic. Have you received your scaledecks for the Bismarck yet? The Titanic one is great but the one for the Bismarck is on another level. It's a work of art.
What blows my mind is you did a little research and figured out the hull is way wrong. The end results of your corrections results in a hull that’s not only accurate, but in this case, would have actually been EASIER for Trumpeter to have molded in the first place! Why don’t they bother making this stuff right? I understand that’s sometimes the molding technology won’t allow for it. That I get. But take the late WingNut Wings company, for example. They took the time to research each aircraft thoroughly before molding it. And they produced the greatest aircraft kits seen to date. You would think someone over there could do 20 more minutes of research before undertaking such a massive project to get it as accurate as possible. These kits take long enough to build without having to make these corrections.
I agree Ben. The Bismarck, Hood and Scharn aren't too bad, however Arizona, Titanic and Iowa's are way off!! The Yortktown is an utter joke. To think.. the same manufacturer released the 1/350 Yorktown and 1/200 around the same time, and the hull shape is totally different?? Trumpeter seem to lack the passion of the likes of WNW and Tamiya.
@@NigelsModellingBench agreed. I think they are all about the buck and accuracy takes a back seat. Tamiya needs to get into the 1/200 scale game. I don’t get caught up into the hull detail. I just build it as is, mostly and try to correct the simple things. But one day I may choose to tackle these corrections like you have. What I really need to do is win the lottery and start my own company to compete with these other builders. I can’t believe no one is doing 1/200 scale destroyers. I think there is a HUGE market out there for them.

Legendary work mate . Hats off to the effort . Keep it up , the Ship is looking amazing !
Thank you! Cheers!
HUGE thanks for making these videos, we all learn because people like you share! Ignore the haters, they can go pound sand all day.

Outstanding job Nigel. Please keep up the good work, the great videos, and the excellent explanation of how and why you do what you do!!!
Many thanks!
Always learning something new, thanks Nigel.
Glad to hear it!
The work you have done on these hulls is great, you have deff inspired me to try harder on my own models. Thank you
Glad I could help
Great work mate - love your attention to detail! I joined when you were doing the Landy - but this is next level improvements!!!
Thanks 👍

I have considered making a mould of this hull Nick as it is smooth and not plated like Titanic.
Your doing a great job, your a master builder and model maker, only whish i could do what you do anyway you inspire me to try harder with my models.
Full marks on that Nigel. I really like how you back your ability and just do it. Don't listen to all the BS.
dont mind the negative comments. keep up the good work Nigel
Don’t know why people criticise your work, I’m always impressed with your videos, Much better than my attempts! Awesome work, Keep going! 👍🏻

Yes.. that would have been my first attempt. This second method, cutting the bottom of the hull out is far better.
Looking good Nigel...... 👌
Excellent - keep 'em coming.
Thanks, will do!
It is great to see how you have approached the corrections on this hull compared to the methods used on Titanic. I am too far on my own Bismarck to do most of these. Would be fantastic to see you work through the Scharnhorst modifications.
Glad it was helpful!
That hull looks amazing, well done. BTW you need to let us see the Jigsaw now that you gave a peek ! :)
Oops.. too late jigsaw is broken up and back in the box.
You did a lot of work on the hull of the Bismarck. Well done. Did you ever do a video of how the hull was painted?
No.. because I haven't painted it yet!! lol

NO!! Iowa class hulss from Trumpeter in 1/200 are gonna be the most difficult to correct. Bismarck/Scharn will be easiest
@@NigelsModellingBench Ok Thanks Nigel.

Wow, you’re serious about this! It looks great so far! Maybe now your set to do the 1/32 b24 wing mods!
Probably never??
Lol! You should cast the hull and sell it, I’m sure people would buy it!
Honestly Ive only just got around to surface priming my boats been in storage for a few yrs
Yeah they where pretty similar in size Scharnhorsts length being 234.9m Beam 30m Bismarcks sitting in at 241.6m Beam 36m. But you've no doubt figured that out.
Yeah.. after i released the video, I thought, "What a stupid thing to say".....
Another nice hull Nigel what do you think about the deck on Bismarck it should have camber for the water to run off but it doesn't is the Scharnhorst deck the same ? Keep up the great work mate
Yeah..... I think Scharn has the same issue. Maybe we can induce some camber?
@@NigelsModellingBench Yes it's all part of the fun of modelling
I’m so very grateful to you for these videos. I’m learning a tremendous amount. Will you be doing a full series on the Iowa hull?
That's the plan!
How is your work on the Bismarck going on? I'd love to see more on this project, especially since the dedication you put into it. The work you did on the hull alone is really impressive :-)
Not touched it again..
Another great video. Any way you can get the stills to stay on screen for longer. Saves me wearing out the pause button. 🤣
Yeah, but then i need to talk slower which makes me even more boring!!
@@NigelsModellingBench Never boring Nige. Any chance of showing us the mod you do on your clothes pegs in a future vid 🤗
I grabbed this model myself and i am having issues figuring out how high to paint the red on the hull any tips?
Hi Nigel, looks absolutely stunning and so much more realistic. Have you received your scaledecks for the Bismarck yet? The Titanic one is great but the one for the Bismarck is on another level. It's a work of art.
Hi Barry. I won't be using scaledecks on the Bismarck
What filler are you using?
In this I have used Tamiya in the smaller areas and car body filler in larger areas.
@@NigelsModellingBench Thank you for sharing!
Are you regretting this yet? Brilliant stuff though.
No way, I love doing these hulls Colin.. shame they're so bloody expensive!!
