  1. I recognize that, but the weathering would be similar. The author mentions the greenish tint to the hull under certain conditions, and your work reminded me of this. Cheers, Tom
  2. I’ve been watching your build closely and taking detailed notes! I really like your approach to the build and weathering. This might be of some use for the latter: https://amp.rokket.biz/docs/u-boat_colours.pdf specifically the weathering section. Cheers, Tom
  3. Definitely the road less travelled! I love your progress and commitment to authenticity. Cheers, Tom
  4. This is a really great start! I have this kit and many of the elements that I’ve thought about (eg, doors and windows) you’ve addressed very nicely. I’m also planning to copper the hull so will be taking notes from your work. Thanks for posting your build. Cheers, Tom
  5. I’ve saved every picture for reference. This is great! Cheers, Tom
  6. Your are very kind! I was also amazed at her depth below the waterline, perhaps a testimony to her armor. Not everyone knows she had torpedo tubes down there, and I historical accounts indicate that she fired torpedoes at the Bismarck. Cheers, Tom
  7. I love these updates, and I’m saving your photos for reference. Considering the IJN Mikasa is in the same rarified category as the HMS Victory or USS Constitution, I am mystified why there isn’t a readily available good comprehensive reference for her. Cheers, Tom
  8. Very cool! Is your Nelson posted online? Writing of unusual ships, I really wish Trumpeter would release the HMS Abercrombie and Roberts in 1/200. Model on! Cheers, Tom
  9. Very impressive introduction! I really am enjoying your work. Will you be adding copper plating to the hull? Cheers, Tom
  10. Just catching up with this wonderful thread, and It is very impressive! I’m working on the 1/200 HMS Rodney, also a very long term build. Your work really makes me want to get back to it! Cheers, Tom
