Thanks for that Steven, if only I lived a few miles closer ... maybe just the reason to visit downunder ... You just didn't look hard enough, or you have a somewhat foggy view mate, need a new prescription on your glasses ...

Yupz, we decided, bossman 'n me, it was not to be, so it wasn't hard to decide to get going ... You'll think you will ever need ... You are pulling a fast one ... as usual in the beginning, but ... then you will come up with the tiny omissions/changes/addititions/improvements ... maybe I can even twist your arm to do some out of the blue ... The red looks rather like flat red on the sheet, but it isn't. Wrote that somewhere in the beginning. RGL built it up with several shades, besides the real shading, and highlighting he added. Look at the Tamiya linoleum decking for the colour, that comes quite close, especially if you add some red, or add that to some red. Which one has got to do with the quantity of paint required to get the right mix - when adding light to dark you require more paint, than the other way around, quite logical, but often forgotten in the heat of painting ... examples: pink - add red to white, soften up red - add white to red. darken red - add dark grey (for modelling, do not use black) So far paint lesson #2 or is it #3 ... I would have expected the camo to be more sharp lined not so much roundish, at least that is what I've seen mostly, some times a large round line but mostly sharp turns e.a., the RN G & H class destroyers didn't have the female touch in camo. It did turn out well ... she has something wild about her ... first see how it turns out when you added camo to the structures above the deck ... that will be a challenge ... so far ... well done Denis I don't know what they added to the bow, that large squarish crate. The aft torpedo's should have been replaced by 20mm oerlikon or pom-poms, it'll probably have been the oerlikon, straight from the USN

Greg, I find it's not just the price. I built the ZMS O16 (sub), there isn't much fun in doing it either. Not a lot of parts, e.g. hull and deck are one piece, or when I compare Tamiya's I400, the bridge consists out of multiple sections, not just a bridge, antennea,and persicope. I can undersand why, but to me it takes the challenge out of it. You can replace parts with after market, or add missing items, but it would make an expensive kit even more expensive. ... I wonder what a Yamato would do at 1/350 resin ...

Finally time to pick on you (-r build)! I am very taken by the look of her, your oil canning, and shading turned out beautiful - practice makes perfect, and it shows in your painting. You made her come alive with the (little/significant) changes you applied. I know, for I've got the same box content, and can see what you did add, and/or change, or ommit. Your weathering isn't over done, I wish I could say otherwise, but it's spot on. The bottom hull is to dark to my taste (now I'm getting picky), and only three rafts were available, whilst you put on four (builders prerogative?) Blame these remarks on my just not liking you finishing first ... a very sore looser ... o, helll ... it wasn't a contest!!! darn, wrong build log ... must be the age ... Still waiting on international snail mail ...

Thanks RGL. Hmmm, you seem to know my age. Glad someone does. She turned out rather nice. Like the make-up you applied ... I just wondered: the light colour was pre WWI ... at that time she was still British ... or was white running up to WWII ... getting old ... My turn what turn...?

Thanks OC, I'm still looking into the "placement" of the decals. Got enough to plaster the hull with it, so thanks for the offer, but don't bother. Waste of money to use the postal services ...

OC, it is too, cap'n sicum, always nauseous when on board. Glad I'm not tom, never could ketchup ... Look how RGL simply passes me by with his build, never had a chance to catch him (not even up), could not get a long side, even if I wanted to!

Be careful what you write Dirk, you may be blamed for picking on RGL. He's somewhat sensitive with his SMS - as he put it, although, I would just refer to an inferiority complex Oh Greg, it isn't personal, you just bring out the worst in me ... crappy builds, ordering at the wrong internet shop, you know ... the lot ... Oh, nearly forgot, thanks Dirk, and good to have your positive feedback

6'6" matey ... so now it's clear you are picking on me grumpy ... as an aside, you are rather tall for an Aussie I would say ... no Northern European ancestry in your lineage ... I entirely agree (about the capsicum) And that, Mr Bunny, is quite questionable ...
