Hi Daniel,
Like the sound of this, always had more interest in Tirpitz than Bismarck. Read Bishop's book really enjoyed it.
will be following with interest.

They say "Misery loves company". I think that's one reason I scan this website and various other hobby-related ones everyday. Looking for confirmation that there are others who are just as 'crazy' as, or even 'crazier' than I am. You know, the kind that put every last nut and bolt on a 1/72 scale tank, with full interior of course! The ones who super-detail an area of a model that will forever be unseen and then say, "Well, at least I'll know it's there."! Or, those who build a 1/200 scale Hornet, or Tirpitz, while working on various other outstanding projects at the same time. We are not alone! Al
