Greg, the aftermarket details really give Yamato some added pop. And the turned brass barrels look super. Looking good.

Steve, I have one of these in my stash, so I'll follow along to see how this goes together. Your build is progressing nicely.

Jack, thanks for your support with ME. I'll deal with that tomorrow. Zoltan, thanks. I kind of figured it out when I heard the "snap" of my strake. I think the basswood was pretty well dried out, since I have a very dry basement shop. The first few strakes were bent with the water technique, so I may go back to it.

David, pretty slick, using Sulfuric Acid for that.

Maybe the multi-part hull was to make it fit into a somewhat smaller box. The 1/350 scale Essex class ships had separate bow pieces, so getting the hull straight was a concern for the builder.

Well done, mate. -
DR, I'd give you a New York minute to get moving. May not use the Chrome Horn, but I'll be flying close formation. Enjoy the trip. Jesse, sorry about hijacking your thread.

DR, you will lose your mind walking into Freetime. Aftermarket for many kits. Kits from places I didn't know made kits. It's a good thing it's about 3 hours from me or I'd go broke there. :D

Greg, what color will the treadplate get painted? I have a 1/700 Mogami in the stash and the painting instructions are less than stellar. Lucky they reference Tamiya colors. No Model Master or Vallejo cites in their instructions.

Good technique, Jesse. Glad to hear you're OK after the Hurricane. I was up in the Hampton/Norfolk area last week and the local news shows were reporting on the flooding and devastation in eastern NC. The Tar Heel State took a massive hit.

You might check out Loose Cannon. They do/did an HMS Furious from 1917/1918. Two separate decks with "taxiways" from the aft platform to the forward one. Power projection in it's infancy.

Red Paint or Red Ochre
Canute replied to davyboy's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
Take a look at the Model Master line from Testors. They have enamels and acrylics and should have a number of these shades. And don't forget Vallejo and Tamiya. They are acrylics in these shades, although some of the Tamiya may be voc based. -
Nicely done, Grant. Smooth finish and the stain looks great. I did a cherry blank with a scraper and really liked how smooth it made the wood.

Nice blending of colo(u)rs on your decking. Making plastic look like real wood is an art.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
