Looking Brilliant Jolle notice how painting to look like wood gives more depth to the finished boat 👍 both look really nice and can agree with you on painting ropes on the outside as a game of patience and a steady hand, beginning to look like she’s not far away from completion 🤛 You’ll be proud of this when it’s finished and rightly so. Other week l managed to buy some nice hardwood for top part of display cabinet for my own Mikasa , so shall be getting in contact with my joiner friend to get this made, be clad when it’s fully closed in and don’t have to dust her, far too fragile. Have a great Xmas and an even better New Year when it comes and thanks for all your help and encouragement 🤛 🔔🍻

Love how you pose the figures Jolle, they all look like they are actually doing something, works a treat, your detailing is brilliant and your painting skills amazing, doesn’t leave much room for improvement does it 😂 very impressive skills make for a very impressive model 🤛

Thanks for having a look Nirvana, new there was issues with the hull back when kit was released, and when l purchased it and looked at the hull line especially at the bottom aft was quite obviously not the right appearance, it was only when l started marking of the hull plating and becoming familiar with the flat bottom layout that l decided to fix this, never done this before so just winging it really, like a cat, seem to have landed on my feet 😂 well that’s the worst part improved so my confidence is better now, think l am going to enjoy moving forward, all be it at a slow pace. Thanks again Jeff.

Thanks for that Jolle, shall investigate both, if l had known Micromaster did this would have ordered them last week, just ordered the main turrets from them in the right configuration for Bismarck on commissioning day, that’s my Xmas press from Jaqueline, be a test of will power not opening this till Xmas day when they arrive 😂 thanks again Jolle. 🤛

So am l Jolle, especially since this part is mostly past, great to be moving on to a different task well same but different if you know what l mean. Have managed to purchase and am in process of purchasing more Veteran models sets for her, should try the distefano.com site, sure you’ll find this another good source for future products, some of the 3D print is not up to scratch and other bits are definitely worth a shot, don’t think anyone is going to improve on Micromaster though, its in the name, master 🤛 will need a little help from you with where you purchased the anchor chains for your Bismarck build, they look like a definite for me. 👍 thanks again Herby, just kidding Jolle. 😂

Thanks Winnie, appreciated. Funny thing, l also have this in collection to build, think l will have to made immortal to complete my collection 😂 Am sure you will bring this back to life, Hoods a nice looking warship for me. 🤛

Seen your comment on herby’s build log before l realised my mistake, the post was on the mast build so never seen the rest of log, see when you get to my age gives you an excuse for being daft 😂 on your build not herby’s 😂 the rear Bridge had me chopping and changing quite a few times, trying to get the orientation correct with what side the ladder goes on, what window face forward and rear and what way to set up upper compass, bit of a minefield here 😂 🤛

Sorry Herby getting mixed up , having two Mikasa builds so close together must be quite rare but the complement still stands, also noticed the work on the funnel 👍 have to say l thought those etched funnel cop grills a sod to put together so well done on that, you’re model has certainly come on a lot since the last time l viewed, guess you’ve just joined the slow build club 😂 The idea with the fine wire for rigging attachments, excellent 🤛 bet you end up same as me, cross eyed trying to scan old photos of early Mikasa , trying to work out where the rigging should go. Good to see it moving forward and apologies for that mix up. That’s two l must follow now 😂
