Two items. First the kitbash/corrective surgery. I think we're both pointing you in the same direction. Sometimes manufacturers generate a kit that doesn't follow published plans. They're close, but sometimes parts are cast to ensure ease of removal from molds, in a plastic kit, or structures are simplified for ease of construction in a wood kit. What's the modeler to do? He does corrective surgery or kit bashing to make it look more like the photos he's using to build with. Sometimes you add extra parts, sometimes you may have to modify or adjust parts. It's all part of being a model builder versus an assembler. Second item, orientation of the conning tower: The halfmoon projection on the lower part, facing the stack area, should be on the forward side of the tower. At least that's what the picture in post 20 shows. -
Follow you pictorial evidence for the tower. May be doing some kitbashing to correct this.

That's some great news, Keith. And your build is progressing nicely. Keep on truckin.

Interesting critter. -
As a freshman student programing in FORTRAN way back when, that was an axiom of ours. Not much changed in 60 years.
-
Turned out very nice, Alan.
-
he's really looking imperious.
-
Like your work masking the deck. 👍 And your PE catapult and crane are "the cat's meow".
-
Excellent work so far, Alan. Yeah, his beard and hair would give him a more menacing look with a bit of a shine to them.
-
Nicely done with these louvers. 👍
-
That's one beautiful build, Rob. The F1 racers are so aerodynamic. Well done. 👍
-
That's better than being a Supervisor of Flying at an Air Force Base when all the aircraft participating in an airshow show up. Many do arrival shows, especially the military flight demo teams. That only happened once a year.
-
Think you hit that nail on the head with the backdrop, Eric. Really like the wispy cirrus clouds. Keep it up!
-
This one looks pretty busy. I'm on this one Alan.
-
The wire wheels turned out nicely on the Rat Rod and the red paint turned out superb. These resin builds paint up well, as long as they're primed.
-
Tornadoes in the Poconos would be a new one. 🙄 Did you look at any locomotive bells, Keith? They might have one close enough. Otherwise she's growing nicely.
-
Take a look at some of the Native American steeds. The Lakota Sioux were known for some flashy mounts. Or the Napoleonic cavalry. Quite ornate.
-
Love the precision. Your build is exquisite.
-
Vertigo can be very debilitating, especially for an aviator. Big cause for grounding. Thankfully its normally a temporary condition.
-
Quite the formidable warrior, Alan. And you cranked it out fast. 👍
-
3D prints are the wave of the future. Looks very good.👍
-
A few drops of India ink in iso alcohol makes a good wash for dirting up your models. It will collect in any panel lines. It's not as concentrated as the Tamiya washes.
-
Well done. Very nice build.
-
Nicely done, Alan. I've never attempted figures like these, out side of a few HO (1:87) scale figures in a passenger car.
