Still need to get focusing working properly. On auto it doesn't seem to focus sharp enough and on manual it's really akward to use.

Does it have a macro or close up mode?

I finished the top mast. Then suddenly I started to grave for some rigging. Few hours later the beast was rigged!

Tried to get it as accurate as I could with the reference I had available. Also rigging being one of the things I strive to get better aswell!

Maybe some mad rigging project next who knows!

Not only is your model impressive but so is the close-up photography.  Great work on both !

Cheers, I don't do photography otherwise except for taking photos of my models and I don't know jacks "#¤% about photography and I only use a mobile to take photos so it's good to know they are at acceptable level even of my shortcomings in that area!

Excellent Build!! I went through it and yes I like the new phone could see the shading much easier and so subtle I am with you less is better in most cases.The info about the shading and the layers I started thinking I had seen some of your work on another site ya'll live in the same neck of the woods though I think he is in Norway(?) Fantastic Job!! :imNotWorthy: Kevin

Some smaller details I've been working on.

 

Added some warning lights near the aft boom.

Used some 0.2mm brass wire to get the basic shape of the lights.

After this the light bulb section was build up using white glue.

After painting the bulb section is first painted chrome silver, then some light clear orange.

The usual electric lines added.

Some addition details to the pioneer equipment.

Containers for the equipment added behind the aft turret.

Liking the touches !What about the red ladder something they used for fire control?Also how did you determine to paint the front railing lines black on the bow area but others are not? ;) Kevin

If you look at real pictures of the ship you can see that there are 2 types of railing. Solid and ones with wires running through them. The ones painted black are simulating the wire ones.

Your build is so amazing. The closer you look the more realistic it appears! Have you ever considered placing people on the ship?

I would if I actually made a sea base for it! In my opinion displaying the ship like I do doesn't really fit into it. Atleast in my opinion.

If doing a simple diorama then hell yes!

What, no net on the basketball hoop! Just kidding, all the adjectives others have offered ++. Your log will be a great help and inspiration

when I get my Alaska launched.

Thanks for sharing your mythology & techniques.
