Not missing the Hospital ship Heian Maru, then you can get the wounded off.

I like the way the cockles turned out RGL

I don't think it matters where they would stow them, Mark. When you consider the damage done on those ships ... splinters flying everywhere ... if not bomb fragments, parts of the ship would be flying around
That's probably a leftover from the 1600 and after period ships. To avoid men from having the idea safety was an option during battle, and in that time to avoid splinters from a shot up boat to fly over the deck, decimating gunners
NIcely done so far, RGL. "Just" one last tedious effort

I wouldn't use acrylics 😉 Told you I'm lazy 😆

I wouldn't have bothered masking to be able to paint canvas. A brush would have done the job just as well IMHO, or am I just lazy ...

Never said camouflage is easy to apply ... even selecting the proper colour isn't easy ...

Nice painting, I found that some tape works better against bleeding than others. Further more a q-tip rubbing the edges helped me to avoid most of the bleeding. Nice painting though

You wear a straitjacket too?

Which is why you can build it faster if you use 3D printed parts ... where is the agony and headaches, the joy of loosing parts in the carpet monster's jaws ... the search for the missing "link" ...

Oh slimey, using Mr.Surfacer, and sponge bob to give it structure. Nice touch. Enamel as from Humbrol, or do you stick to Tamiya enamelish?
Nice going mate

No oilcanning ..., not that the Roma would have much of it visible (if any), compared to the USN builds

That's 35 cm!!! A huge ridge if you'd ask me.

No holes in the deck. It's not a sub. and having such an entrance wouldn't be practical in high seas, besides, these ships weren't known for their luxury, more discomfort ...

Hmmm, I could look it up in my destroyer book, but am currently abroad. I'll have a look when I am back home.

Didn't see the Eskimo finished, really beautiful result on both Tribals. I will add a third to my set some time as it is in my stash to be built.
Lovely result Greg, the 3D printed parts do make a difference. Will most likely be expensive enough to get it from NZ to Europe as you mentioned it to be the other way around for e.g. paints and such
