She's looking top notch. Do you have a buyer lined up already, or how will you offer her for sale. Ebay maybe?- 146 replies

Does this ship carry cruise type missiles in those large launchers? She looks lean and mean.
-
Very realistic. Beautiful model. I noticed you don't have your IJN ISE listed in your completed builds. An oversight or ?

An old friend used to say: "a man can make his mouth say anything he wants it to say." When you see or hear outlandish claims, just remember that old saying.

Old Floquil paints?
CDW replied to MEDDO's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
If I was spraying it on with an airbrush, would use lacquer thinner. If brushing on, turpenoid. -
Old Floquil paints?
CDW replied to MEDDO's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
Acrylic should cover Floquil okay provided you give the Floquil plenty of time to dry out. I would wait a week. Sometimes paint may feel dry to the touch, but it's still curing under the surface. -
Greg, all these details are from one update set, or did you have to find and source them individually? A lot of extra details here for sure.
-
That's impressive, that the barrels elevate, too. Gee oh whiz, that's a lot of folding and fiddling for one gun mount. Makes me appreciate molded items all the more once you realize what goes into making them as you are doing here.

She's going to take a lot of shelf space, Dan. But I am sure you have already planned for that.
-
Me too....and three, and four, and so on. I love this model! It is so refreshing to see how neat and professional-looking a paper ship model can be. I am likewise impressed with how deliberate, methodical, and precise Dan is with every little detail. Such patience is a true virtue and it shows up in his work in spades.
-
Yes indeed, this model is exceptional. Seeing a modern warship is such a rare treat, here. And this one is a real looker.
-
I agree with Mark, and really appreciate how "fiddly" these parts must be to cut out, bend, and assemble. I'm afraid it's beyond my skill and patience to do myself, so am content with observing and admiring your work.

Our rolling challenge was to do it with one hand, under the brim of our hat, while plowing with a mule.

Thinking about it some more, the places in the hull where the shafts come through might be well suited for epoxy putty. Just tape the outside of the hull so the epoxy does not run out, then form up that putty inside the hull and around those shaft housings. I'll bet you could just mix micro balloons with slow set epoxy to make your own putty. Your local hobby shop may have some pre-made two part epoxy putty ready to go.

Are those tiny wire pieces soldered. And where on earth did you get those enormous Tic Tacs?

I think I might use epoxy for both tasks. The shafts maybe need a box form inside to give it a little bit of depth so the epoxy won't easily crack. Maybe just an 1/8", maybe 1/4" deep or so. The brackets I think I would epoxy in place on the hull and not drill it. If I did drill it, it would be to insert small wooden dowels that I could sand smooth once the epoxy had cured. Granted, they would not be readily removable after that, but it would eliminate the worry of leaks.

Here are some pictures of the 1:700 scale ship models and aftermarket sets. Only the Nagato plastic parts are not sealed in their factory bags inside the box. The Nagato detail set includes 11 photo etch sheets, a very detailed set. The wooden deck has it's own photo etch sheet as well. All the other ship models have plastic parts sealed inside the bags as they come from the factory. The Dragon Models Tirpitz comes with it's own factory photo etch sheet. This is a good deal for someone who can use them.

Collected all these 1:700 ships and accessories with good intentions on building them, but they are just too small for me to see & do them justice. 1. Aoshima Nagato 1944 Leyte Gulf (Waterline) **Hunter Wooden Deck **Lion Roar complete Detail Set including multiple sheets of photo etch, brass gun barrels, and resin. 2. Fujimi Yamato Full Hull Version Kit #1 3. Fujimi Saratoga Carrier Waterline Version 4. Fujimi Musashi Waterline Version 5. Dragon Tirpitz Full Hull 6. Tamiya BB-62 New Jersey Waterline Version None of the models have been started. There may be some parts that are off the sprue. Will let them all go to a good home for $100 shipped to any one of the 48 states of the Cont. USA Payment via Paypal goods and services If interested, please PM me. Craig W Florida
