RGL Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share #544 Posted March 30, 2017 The last gun turrets, 24 of them! I have added covers for the ventilators, replaced all the barrels, placed handrails and stanchions with ezyline as railings. From boring little blobs to half decent guns. coxswain, popeye the sailor, CDW and 12 others 15 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cog Posted March 31, 2017 Share #547 Posted March 31, 2017 Now you know what you've started at, although, you are nearly finished, those guns form the bulk of the work to my impression. A lot of the same, on the other hand you can swap with other builders nearby Nice colourful collection, Greg.

CDW Posted April 1, 2017 Share #549 Posted April 1, 2017 With all the turrets and electrical/mechanical features of a battleship, there must have been a tremendous amount of maintenance that had to be carried out at sea.

RGL Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share #550 Posted April 1, 2017 Probably why there are so many handrails all over the thing.

RGL Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share #556 Posted April 2, 2017 Grey coats added and a rest fit. I have to fix up the funnel top black ring, add a filter and washes, then paint the sandbags, weather it and rig it. More ladders and gantrys to go, then add the extras.

RGL Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share #558 Posted April 2, 2017 Cog, nothing worse than a back injury, they keep coming back to visit you. I thought you'd been quiet. I have done the platform up behind the main tower up tower up some time ago when I did the sponsons, I'm trying to get my order of construction in my head right. All the references say there was a practice loader on it which I am yet to find in aftermarket.

RGL Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share #560 Posted April 4, 2017 Now, all the fire control turrets are added and I have done a wash to bring out the details, as well as adding the radar. I am yet to weather it. All that is left is the search lights. I will not add the guns until I have done up the plethora of ammo boxes. I cannot even join the towers or tower until I screw the base of the tower to the deck, which I can't do until the deck arrives. Imagine my surprise when I discovered this afternoon that Tamiya has decided to use a dual combination of 1941/45 and leave6 search lights not 4!!! Anyway, the last photo shows how it will look with the sponsons attached.

RGL Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share #565 Posted April 5, 2017 Thanks for the comments folks. I have now added the 150cm spotlights and the gantry which runs in front of the funnel. I have also commenced on the rigging whist I still have access to the funnel without the fore and aft towers. I've done as much weathering as I can for the moment.
