RGL

Nearly there! Ammo boxes, deck equipment, new chains to keep @Dubz happy! 34 individual 20mm guns. Plus a ship’s bell. 

The ships plane, railings (not looking forward to a week of rigging stanchions, davits; light weathering. 

Oh, and the screws. Starting to look like a warship. 

The secret is rapid set CA 

Some simple rigging done

How about a jap destroyer Cog to go with your Yamato? 

If if I hadn’t done my triple Japanese set I’d probably do this. Now I’ve got a triple RN it means I have 2 more Germans to go after the Emden. 

Y turret 

A turret 

Thanks for the likes. @Dubz I have painted up another chain which I will try before doing up the railings which will be one of the last steps. 

The main guns, a bit of dry brushing, add handrails and a Pom Pom 

He’s a bit like the All Blacks compared to the rest of the world in Rugby 

Yet again K, you make it look easy 

Seriously I can hardly see it and I spent 2 days masking.

Any chance to get a smaller anchorchain? I thinks it is way oversized or am I wrong?

Dirk, I think it's borderline? I bought the kit dirt cheap, and it came with a Artwox wooden deck and chain (The deck is incorrect so I did not use it) but the chain is far  more accurate than what Pontos gave. It may be 1/4 too big but better than getting a North star individual linked chain and taking a full week to make it up.

Damn, this is going to nag me now.

Jan you can't see it but I did manage a triple layer. Too much like hard work for mine.

Um, NZ is in the Commonwealth games.......

i Just hate doing the ships boats as I reckon they just look horrible. Thus cover them with canvas. 

The colours even match up

Big guns done, even the triple levels on the barrels, they need some weathering yet plus handrails, which will be about a full day’s work. 

The secondary guns complete

Starting to get the next lot done. Firstly the anchor chains with some extra detail for chain stoppers and hawser Home covers. 

Hobbyeasy is advertising the mast set and barel set, just tormenting you.....

The colours are simply marvellous. The modulation is just right. 

@popeye the sailor, yes, no and no. I still have a lot to do on KGV 

Sorry, most of us don't have a spare 6 metres in the house to  build one. Mind you sourcing the aircraft and the crew would be fairly easy.

More teasers for the Seydlitz though, if you remember my Dreadnought, it can be done in a similar manner.

Get stale? 

Nearly there. 

Back to work now so wont be done in a hurry 

The next lot in the paint cue, davits, focsle equipment, etc etc. I even ordered more carley floats. With soo many tiny pieces I have to alternate as I’d just go mad. 

That’s a hair cut, right?
