I'm from Watertown New York and I am really enjoying building this with your videos. I waited the whole 12 months for every issue and I've been doing a box a day. It's a lot of fun and you're always a good guide through the build.
Got pack 1 Friday. Took a couple of hours to get it all together. I was impressed. It's looking to be a nice model. Pack2 & 3 are shipping out today. Hope to have them for the weekend.
Thanks Wayne! Great job on the videos of the builds you do. Thank you for being so thorough! Instead of going to the Agora website to read the instructions for the Bismarck, I just pull up your past videos and follow along (much more interesting and instructional) Thanks again and great work on your videos! Eric
Again your video is very helpful for my build of the Bismarck. Seeing the video demo of the animated features confirmed that my tests were successful. I am looking forward to actually hear the sound of the guns. Many thanks.
Years ago I bought the Hachette Tiger Tank. It was 140 issues over 3 years. Its been sitting in a box for about 10 years and I've just started doing some real work on it recently. These newer kits are a lot nicer. I had to paint every piece as I assembled them.
I bought bismark last year and I started building last week..... Im at the stage of pack two where we test the forward terret and the anchor motor but is where i hit the problem.... The terret works as it should but motor for the anchors dont seem to work.... I think during the build it would be prudent to test the motors as they are fitted and not several at a time.....
Hi! How did you solve that issue? Im in that stage and the turret works but the anchors don't. I'm not sure if it is a faulty circuit box or the motors are dead...
I must be the only one working on stage pack 2 but I will add to the comments. I just finished this stage on my second build (first one had many of the electronics not working) and I had the same problem with the anchor motor as it seems like some other folks did also. I have played with it for two days now and figure the problem was with to much pressure on the pins and gears from tightening the cover too much. I loosened the cover screws. I also made sure the the two red and green parts were not pushed too far in. This seems to have worked. Also, if you have trouble moving the gears (without the motor engaged fully) you can turn the little knob on the top of the deck that is between the green and red things that is connected to the gears.
I ordered 1/200 scale sailors to add to Bismarck. The sailors are .36” tall and they seem to small for the ship. The life rings are more than half the size of the sailors. Am I missing something?
TIp...Breakwater. I have found that it is much easier if you keep the supports on the sprue an fit the metal rod.. Just hold the sprue with your finger and thumb and push up the part, fit the rod and the trim off the sprue..... Miles easier...
@Brett Musick I just told me wife I was going to build it and she said where you going to put it. I told her I will cross that bridge when I need to lol so here I am waiting for pack 2 😂
Bismarck is known as The third most Largest battle ship He was made to rule the waves and lead the kriegsmarine and sunk on May 1941 and he was Launched on 193
All my vids have playlists. If you look at the last video in the playlists you will see I have completed the Millenium Falcon, R2D2, Terminator, Supersnake, Cobra , Bismarck, thunderbird 2, X wing, DB5, DeLorean, Orca. ET Spaceship, robot. Nodding Donkey, Mechanical Wasp, c3pO quite a few
Hello, i have a question, whats the difference between this Agora Bismarck and older Hachette Bismarck, which you have started building 2 years ago? Its look like almost the same
@@WorldofWayneUK Thanks for response, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, its remarkable model and iam just curious... why are you building the exact same thing twice?
@@safr16 I started build one ages ago for myself. Lots of peeps around the world missed the opportunity to start this back then and when Agora built it they asked if I could build it again so peeps can build it along side me and they could post the build videos on their Web site.
@@WorldofWayneUK Thanks for answer. 🙂 Hachette will begin publishing Bismarck next month in my country (Czechia), so iam very excited and found two separate playlist on your channel about building it, great videos.
@@WorldofWayneUK how would you recommend doing the port holes?? I have a black artists acrylic pen which I was told if you colour the port holes in and then Finnish with micro kristal klear?? What would recommend?? Many thanks :)
Hi Wayne, Had to wait to Order The Agora since 'm in the U.S. but have watched your Hachette series. I am thinking about doing your porthole trick on each hull piece before I assemble. Is this a good idea? Thanks for a great channel.
So from what I can tell the parts for it come monthly over 1-2 years. Why don't they just ship the entire thing at once? I'm interested in the model but building it over a whole year seems ridiculous.
This ship looks sweet though don't know if I could justify buying a Nazi model :( Why couldn't they have given us the Iowa Class Battleship or HMS Hood?
Please keep in mind most Germans, including the vast bulk of the military, were not members of the Nazi party. The hardware certainly wasn't. And Bismarck is a good looking ship. I wonder if its simply that Bismarck had too short a career to undergo any refits, while battleships like the Iowas underwent substantial modifications over time, so do you follow the first design, or the refit? Which refit? I wonder if its simply getting license to use the designs of US or UK hardware is still too bureaucratic and expensive.

Wayne loving this especially that cannon fire in between stages. I had my TV up loud and it blew me out of the chair! 😂🤦🏼♂️

Wayne thanks one more time stage 2 competed, love it.
Wayne , hello from California!
I am on the second pack of the Bismarck and your videos are very helpful. Cheers Mark
A perfectly done pack 2.
Loving the build as all ways.
Stay safe all.

Morning Wayne the part is from pack 1 Bismark 0937 time I’ll have to order another no1 as it come of and disappeared into grey carpet. Thanks.
That’s some serious cracking Wayne. I’m getting this soon!!!!
i know it is kinda off topic but do anyone know a good website to stream newly released movies online ?

Just found this video, fascinating. I’m going to check on the model to what it costs and how to buy it. Thank you for your videos sir.

2nd stand is backwards. Look at the angles where it engages the hull. As always the best production!
TIp...Breakwater.
I have found that it is much easier if you keep the supports on the sprue an fit the metal rod..
Just hold the sprue with your finger and thumb and push up the part, fit the rod and the trim off the sprue.....
Miles easier...
I have revel 17700version. Whats the best tools for cutting out the parts my first bizmark
what size is the optic fiber cable..would like to get some extra just in case
I think it’s 2mm but it’s flexible not rigid
I shared most of your building sessions to my email box and after 3-4 weeks they cannot be accessed. The screen is black and it flashes “private”. ??
All the videos are now merged with the Agora ones so there aren’t duplicates on the channel
stage 19 the bow light do you get any light bleed through the deck where the bulb is please
I didn't notice any
My anchors are very intermittent, can't find any reason for it ☹️☹️
Hello Wayne,can you please tell me what glue are you using for this model? I'm starting it today! Thank you very much.
I use " glue it" superglue fro. THE RANGE stores in the UK. Its nearest equivalent is Loctite.
Must not order

yet...
@Brett Musick I just told me wife I was going to build it and she said where you going to put it. I told her I will cross that bridge when I need to lol so here I am waiting for pack 2 😂
@Brett Musick looks like both conversations went our way lol
@Brett Musick o yes the famous wife eye roll 🙄 😂
WAYNE please could you tell me if the middle of these anchor chain pulleys is missing.
Middle?
Are the Hull sections metal?
Yes
Excellent work dude, Agora are killing me with these stunning builds don't you just hate being poor LOL.
Hi Wayne, are you still building the x- wing?
Yep. Although I haven't had a delivery in months
Hi bud great vid
Hay Wayne have u received pack 10 of the agora terminator yet pal
Not yet
Hi Wayne apart from the models your all ready doing and the ones your waiting for if you could only choose 1 which model would you choose
At the moment. This one and the Peugeot but the ET spaceship build is one of my favs
Bismarck is known as The third most Largest battle ship He was made to rule the waves and lead the kriegsmarine and sunk on May 1941 and he was Launched on 193
i mean 1939 and the fight had begun on may 1940 Legends said he was the Terror of the seas and her shells are big as trees
Just a heads up pack 2 is not in the play list yet but it is in your video's
Cool. I will get on to that
Stage 18.
When the turret reaches the limit it continues to rotate and makes a rattling noise. Is this normal?
When it is calibrating at the start..yes
I watch your videos but I never seen you finish anything just a bunch of busy work. Did your ever finish anything ?
All my vids have playlists. If you look at the last video in the playlists you will see I have completed the Millenium Falcon, R2D2, Terminator, Supersnake, Cobra , Bismarck, thunderbird 2, X wing, DB5, DeLorean, Orca. ET Spaceship, robot. Nodding Donkey, Mechanical Wasp, c3pO quite a few

@@sammartin2467 sounds good. I just used a black Sharpie

Can’t wait for the floating test in the bathtub lol

It's down to cost and the very essence of what a part build is..
Just come across this one. Is it my imagination or does this one look much better than the Hachette one?
They are the same
in argentina is come :)

I am handicaped
Can you use sprue cutters? Otherwise a size 9 scalpel blade is an option
@@WorldofWayneUK yes
