Thanks for the link mate, but I got the plastic thing at 1:350. However, it is tempting ... You, on the other hand, can have your pick and get your fleet into shape -
Dennis, Thanks! This is just grey primer from Vallejo ... the grey top layer will be darker (IJN Grey). PE, well for this tool version there is a heap. I found out that the kit expected the tripple 25mm AA guns to be the covered type. So I got my new AOTS on Yamato and Musashi out, and it appeared that from the thirty five tripple AA guns only six are the covered type. The Fly Hawk set only has PE for eight uncovered, and for twenty seven covered (plastic & a bit of PE), the Pontos set has twenty nine uncovered. So that was an easy choice, at least to get all looking a like ... The difference between eight or seventeen pieces ... why take the easy way out

So you are tellin' us you're old ???? A pitty I could only find you a paper version of the Yamato in 1:250 else it would have been a nice companion to both ...

I'm glad you pointed that huge failure out ... it would really be a thorn in my eye (as we say) I like your explanations and giving the Japanese names of different parts/segments. I love the way you tied down the beam ... gives some authenticity to your build, makes it come a live ...as does the stain you use

That's a lot of detail you are adding, and a lot of fiddly stuff it is too. You have been busy mate! She is coming together nicely!!

No showable progress. Presently I am making the tripple 25mm AA guns ... 29 of them, each 17 pieces I cut them per type, batch production, I am at the second piece which needs to be bent into shape ... there are only six pieces which do not need to be bent ... at least I will have a couple of nights "bendertainment" ... see y'all soon ... in about a week and a half, two weeks ...

Robin, Good to have you wandering in again. With reference to the missing pictures, you could make a composition of most previous (missing) pictures to show what you've done ... just an idea ... Looking forward to some progress, cheers mate

It isn't surprising it is wearing you down, especially if you have been hoarding for a long time. The driving to and fro when moving most/all items yourself, and getting the other house ready, know it, done it thrice, forth time coming up next year probably ... not looking forward to it either. The only advantage ... regular cleaning out. No children to help you with the move? Anyway, I wish you and Judy lots of strength, and a cool head

Clare it really is very "obvious" can you point those imperfections out to me ...? You sound so ... Japanese(?)

Great work Kevin. I like the the way you are trying things out ... nice take on the "insert" hanger.
-
Good to see you back at it, Wayne.

Thanks Pat. Your information on the pressure worked well. That 3rd hand ... looks familiar ...? The only thing I need to get beter at is my usage of CA, although, it has gotten slightly better ... less blobs ... at least when you look at the funnel (first thing of the build with hughe blobs) and the tower later build with less enormous blobs

These were sprayed at 20 psi, trigger pulled half open (thanks Pat) a lot less paint loss And naturally, to keep my finger's dexterity into shape ... PE cutting and folding ... There is more where this came from ........

Greg, looking good. It seems you have a wee bit more small tinkling bits than with Yamato, although, when I recall the AA guns you put together ...

Ezy-line is used a lot on model airplanes too. Greg used it on his Dreadnought and Yamato builds, both for rigging and railings. His areal on the former really looks magnificent, I just do not know if it extends 4x its size. By the way, it's available in other colours than black too

Piet, Good to hear you both are still up and running, without major damages. Take care not to do foolish things while clearing the yard and the roof! My best wishes to Gwen and you Cheers

Looks like a nice brush, Sam. Thanks for the information. I'll have to think about that one. First have a try at my "el cheapo"
