    "I think EW was pretty rudimentary at this stage in 1945 as the IJN was struggling to keep its head above water! " Thought that were their ships not turning into subs Wonderful work on the masts, super structure, and all the other giant details

    Or dump 'em in a chalk pit ... When I see that paravane, and the one from Yamato ... a pitty Fly Hawk didn't have an upgrade for that item.

    Talking about details ... the reel ...1.5 or 1.75 mm ?

    AMS ... I recently started to look for PE sets, before I look at the plastic foundation ... I do like those craines Mr Bunny. Haven't started at mine yet, but it will come soon. First I need to get back to the work bench!

    Hello Clare, Let me know when you start on the temple. Wouldn't want to miss it!!! Cheers

    You made me feel double welcome! "Even better, as there are NO decent references I can't be proven wrong!" Well, that's another refreshing way of looking at things ... With your experience, you will come out with something scrumptious! Cheers

    It seems I'm catching up constantly on your builds, Greg! You are adding some nice details for a plastic kit mediocre on details. I like that mast, and the full PE structures. I know from Fly Hawk they didn't replace the antenna "legs" on the Musashi either. Fortunately I had the Pontos. Your weathering will be a lot more compared to Yamato. What kind of paint are you using now - since you won't use Vallejo in your airbrush anymore.

    Great details, Jesse! You still handle the small items very well.

    Not much space for the high brass guys Mr Bunny. I like how you are progressing though

    Your hull is starting to look nice and spiffy, Chris

    "Impec" (Impécable), as the French would say!

    Thanks for the Maui backdrop, missing the ratlines in them though It's not just the admiral which earned the trip. The way you seem to have been working makes it a valid outing for your too !

    Interesting topic, with all the digital misery we get thrown at us. Using a bird for fishing instead of a sonar. I can imagine the brine soaking of the nails to be creating a better hold for the nails. Rust makes a rough surface, so it should make a nail that much harder to remove. Tough cookie Mr Nasu! Got another interesting book for you, rather corpulent though. The Japanese House Heinrich Engel Pub. Charles E. Tuttle (Japan) ISBN 0-8048-0304-8 This was my first introduction to Japanese building. It has some very interesting joinery in it, which shows the genius of Japanese carpentry - I used some to make a closet/cupboard. I have seen a lot of woodworking, but us westerners can't compare to the orientals

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
