    Another superstructure assembly, this one with the searchlight platforms. I dropped one of the top searchlight railing pieces and it must have went into the black hole of Calcutta. Will find a replacement piece from another photo etch sheet. starting to hear some gusts of wind now from Ella. It will increase through the night.

    Alan looks like one or both of us are getting some wind and rain in the next few days. It’s Already been like a monsoon here last week.

    Beautiful paint work OC. Love that brick work, looks very authentic.

    Photo etch pieces are folded into ammo boxes. The ammo boxes are mounted to the quad .5 inch AA gun platforms.

    My internet has been down since Wednesday. Technician not due until tomorrow. Learned to use my cell phone which is okay except fat fingers. Cell phone eliminates a step or two as I have been using my cell phone for pics and only since internet malfunction learned to edit my photos using my phone. A silver lining I guess.

    I bought some laser cut paint rack kits that had that smell. It goes away in a few days, or at least mine did. If the laser charred the edges, the smell may be more pronounced.

    That’s going to look awesome! Seems like the perfect venue for it but will defer to the Mods.

    I have some clear, stackable containers I keep them in and set them off to the side.

    The second of the two assembled funnels.

    If I did not know it’s 1:72 scale, would think it’s 1:35 for sure. Excellent!
  11. CDW
    Maybe 😁

    Stainless steel

    She is a beauty Alan. Excellent model.

    Here is one of the funnels after assembly of the constituent parts.

    Yes, I do believe it will be perfect. I think the I Love Kit version is the old Merit version which went out of production. I see that I love Kit also picked up the Merit USS Hornet as well. That was another Merit kit.

    And Pontos brass barrels, masts, too.

    Our 16 year old grand daughter did those hand prints when she was 2. My wife paints around them and will not cover them up. I am not familiar with the I Love Kit Mikasa. Will look to see if I can tell. I think it should work.

    Took some time to get another funnel top done this morning. meanwhile the Admiral was touching up paint on a different scale. I better get back to work if I know what’s good for me.
  19. CDW
    I often wondered what kind of maintenance was needed on the inside of a funnel that required walkways at the top of it. Like maybe chimney sweeping of sorts?
  20. CDW
    Looks great closed. Is it a sliding canopy?
  21. CDW
    Yes, I think it is a very good deal.
  22. CDW
    beautiful detail on this model
  23. CDW
    thanks Denis!

    No one will ever notice it as they are riding past on a galloping horse.

    The good thing is, the final appearance of the effect is primarily achieved with your preferred hobby brush and the white spirits used to achieve it. Watch as many tutorial videos on it as you can to pick up many valuable hints.

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.
