I build their Fokker Dr1 1/72 stripdown which was not an easy build but the PE was good on it. Got PE from them for Musashi, still have it, but not on Musashi as meant to be. Used it for all sort of "additional efforts"- 122 replies

Interesting ... hope those batteries do not have the same fault as those Samsung smartphone ones ... I see I'm not the only one waiting for "building materials"

Lovely, nearly there ... i.e. starboard ...

The PE looks so much better, however the paravane itself stays pretty poor ... not like e.g. Yamato's ... so it remains a poor compromise ...

Have you thought about shoji paper, or for that matter any kind of rice paper (i.e. thickness-wise) I've got a hardback Lord of the ring edition with all three books and maps, in a single volume, about 8" x 10" printed on rice paper no thicker than 1.4". It does require some care to turn the pages ...

My experience with Eduard PE isn't all rosy. It doesn't cover all the possibilities, isn't always as easy to handle as e.g. Pontos or FlyHawk. Furthermore, price doesn't always tell the quality ... It doesn't mean PE is always hard to deal with. Unfortunately I can't comment on your pictures, since I still seem to be unable to get them on screen - firewall for the Dutch ???

Nah, the PE sets for the models we make just do not cover everything we want/need for the build Especially since we know/discover what's around ... you'll find out soon enough, especially when you have a look at other builds You've been building airplanes ... without PE/resin? Greg maybe an idea for the next build ...

wefalk, You do make very good points, the things needed to reflect upon. Have you ever tried the material used for the silk screen printing on cloth (tissue) It can be hard to build something if you do not know the workings, and in some cases whom will use/wield it? It will probably turn out to be a poor copy, not an entity. Other items might not require the knowledge due to their nature .. Love the way your build develops Clare

As RGL wrote ... you haven't got enough!!! You'll be buying more ... and more ... and more ... because you want her to look better, nicer details ... crispy ... might as well have bought Yamato with both Pontos and Flyhawk detailup sets ... lovely build by the way I'm on Musashi (old tool) for at least two years now. The old tool has a wee bit more PE, but whats a ton more or less in brass

Don't cut yourself Igor!! You should handle such knifes with great care. You seem to put the bar higher and higher for yourself ... I wonder where it ends ... marvelous

Pat, you just have to wait a bit longer ... you'll be surprised what Patrick pulls out of the "Hat" ... I can't stand the waiting

So it is, in the end the value depends on the measure of knowledge of the writer ... nowadays there are to many so called "experts". If Japanese, the willingness to share all that knowledge is imperative
-
wefalck, You should read "The Genius of Japanese Carpentry". Some things fell in to place for me when I red it, in its way very enlightening. As do some books on their martial arts, the methods used in building their houses etc. Japanese didn't get much authorisation, they mostly got ordered, I cannot imagine a feudal lord to give a boat builder any leeway to explore ... and then there is a very strong tradition

It really is astonishing, sometimes I've got the impression your are building a plastic kit ...

I thought you would be doing "some" last minute alterations Hope the costs for the cars won't take the wind out of your sails Piet. By now you've had enough unexpected expenses I'd say! Hang in there mate. Did you calculated the new measures for the mill? What size will it eventually turn out? Give my best wishes to Gwen.

It is not so much understanding the boats/ships, it's more about understanding the Japaneses spirit/mentality

You go crazy on three sheets of PE ... then I strongly advise against Yamato/Musashi from Tamiya as a future build! Nice detail up set included. Normally you would have to buy a set which is as, sometimes even more expensive than the kit itself.

Looks good, everyday a little bit will get you there too!
