here you can see how I am building the Bismarck of Hachette. I start from number 22 because I,ve no pictures of the previous numbers

kelvin · « **Reply #1 on:** January 30, 2009, 09:03:44 AM »

I live in Holland so the costs of the Bismarck are in €.

number 1: € 1
number 2:€3,95
number 3 -140 all €6, 25

so the total price of the numbers is: €867,45,-
I hope I,ve enough money for the engines

Hello there!

Interesting to see your progress so far. Only one point - your photos are often out of focus, i.e. too blurred to do justice to your work.

Maybe some trial and error with the camera before you post onto your thread? Good luck!

kelvin · « **Reply #24 on:** March 22, 2009, 10:18:11 PM »

I`m sorry internet broke down a few weeks, but new I`am back so in the next coming weeks more interesting pictures of worlds greatest battleship ever will arrive right here
