The display is an important part of the build ... thus ... How's the garden clean up going ... I just repaired the fence between the meadow and my garden, trimmed the lawn at those akward corners, and am trying to get my workbench in a state I can actually cut some brass for Vendetta ...

You might try Mr Delacroix, or "Jouf", either might have some information on such an obscure object ...

I shan't, I'm awaiting PE from Singapore - paravane items - resin parts from Ukrain, which were OOS. I broke the davits whilst taking them of the sprue, so I'll be bashing them, to start with brass ... if that doesn't work for me - because I can only make them realistic at 1:50, I'll try styrene ... I didn't promise myself such a task, it's a weekly thing ... mowing, pruning, picking strawberries. The latter a daily thing, but not to demanding, besides I always seem to carry in less than I picked on, I mean "up" ... You didn't finish Isuzu !?!?!? Something more to pick on ... stored for future reference ... "One roll lasts forever." ........ don't strech it mate

Thanks all for the interest in the trio build & the likes Thanks Greg, I'll look into that. I tried my hand at 0.2mm brass rod to turn it into a shapely ringlet ... fat chance, they look like manacles for an elephant People whom buy cars for their grandchildren usually are nice, and subsequently nice to talk too ... there is the proverbial exception of course Popeye ... We'll have double the fun, since the whiny is off whinying ... strange he is such an accompished builder ... whom ever would have thought those qualities go together ... I have to admit, Denis, my next build is on it's way from the UK ... I look where paints, e.a. are available and at what price (including postage) then I'll make my decision. I try to get materials from shops near by, but since modelbuilding seems to turn into a forgotten art, it does get harder ...

not elaborate the rigging ...right, I wish I could say that ... I find it hard enough to distinguish where to attach what!!! How did you make the rigging eyelets you have used on the deck, funnels etc. Mine look like monstrosities if i compare them to yours ... Pictures later of last efforts to make it look like a well equiped ship ...

Today's effort ... if you can call it that ... first I made rigging rings for the rear funnel, when I saw them I knew I had to go smaller ... what I made were the shackles of the anchor chain for a Yamato class battleship! So I tried my hand at something smaller ... Some deck furniture ... cosey chairs to watch the paravanes splashing round ... minor touch up to do if you look well ...

Denis, Add some white to make it more "in scale", or mist it over with very diluted white, once you've applied it. You are going good. Hope your "super structure" isn't glued to the deck ... Keep these structures off, it will be so much easier when painting/spraying (really!)

In all honesty, I'd rather have the "Eduard improved" ones. To me you are doing the right thing. The shields behind the seats on the kit supplied ones are quite rough and heavy. I prefere the unbearable lightness of brass the detail up gives ... You want amazing trouble ... try the tripple AA guns on Yamato (RGL's build) or Musashi (my build) from either Pontos or Fly Hawk ... in fact any of the AA type guns on those builds are great fun Looking good KP

You passed me by RGL. I'm waiting on snail mail to arrive ... where is roadrunner when you need him ... I knw this was going to happen. A lot of silence at the start, not much to show and ... BOOM ... there is ship in full colour, with all the frills and bells available. Looks very sharp though. I would say: As per your usual! MArk, thanks for that remark on the aft gun turret ... I'll have another look at the plans ... it really makes that gun rather uselaess, which I cannot blieve to be the case ...

Off to a distractionless start ... Glad to see you at it Denis ... it got a bit lonesome ... paint ... I do "mix" enamels and acrylics ... the Dr 1 I'm at has Tamiya rattle can primer. On top of that is at the bottom Humbrol 49 (pale sky or whatever it's called), the upper and sides Humbrol 41 gloss (Ivory/off white), on top of that again Tamiya, brownish, and green. On top of that Vallejo, and some more tamiya and vallejo ...You do need to take into account if you are going to use an ordinairy brush (not air) you will mix the acrylic colours, which is what I intended to happen. So far for the brand and paint type mixins Hope to see you regularly
