Greetings, As far as I can tell, I’m the only IJN Mogami build log on here. I decided to take this project on as I wrap up other projects which is very different from the stick and string models I usually like to build. I found this subject interesting because of the hybrid characteristics as an aircraft cruiser which she was converted into in 1944. Commissioned in 1935 and named after a river in Japan and was the lead ship of four of her self-named class of heavy cruisers. Served in numerous battles in World War II until she was sunk at the Battle of the Surigao Straight in October 1944. This is a 1/350 Tamiya kit and I’ll be using the Flyhawk detail photo etch kit. Below are some photos I’ve found, mostly courtesy of Wikipedia and my unboxing of the kit and PE details. Should be an interesting challenge. All the best, Joshua

Hey. I was reading that the Mogami is next on your list, mine as well. What are you using as reference material? Thanks. Joshua.

This was my first wood model and also used Hopeful's as inspiration. She makes a beautiful little model and gets alot of complements! Keep it up! Joshua

AF, come down to Penns Landing at the Independence Seaport Museum on Saturday starting at 10A. The Philadelphia Ship Model Society is hosting a ModelCon. There will be ALOT of model ships, plus maybe you'll be interested to meet others who build ship models. Joshua

Blue Jacket is about or has already released their new cross section of the Charles Morgan and I know they're working on the USS Oregon.

Marc, That website appears to be down now, any chance you'd be willing to make a copy and send them to me? Joshua

Ed Tosti's Young America Extreme Clipper Ship Model Practicum. Vol 1 & 2 Provides all the plans, drawings and PDF files to scratch build this impressive model. Includes 9 Sets of Plan Drawings, 2 Cd's Condition is unused, well kept. Decided that I'm going to stick to kit building. You can file the sale on Ebay http://ebay.us/K2B7AL?cmpnId=5338273189 I'd be willing to potentially negotiate the price here.

I've used Sharpie Markers to paint things black with happy results.

it's a shame all these postings aren't making it to the correct thread of "So where do you do yours" even though I'm guilty of it myself!

Actually, I spend probably half my time cleaning and putting things away because I get anxious when things aren't organized and clean. lol

I work mostly out of my garage but at times will gather small projects to work on a fold out table in the living room so I can be close to my wife and daughter. The first pic is a little older than the subsequent two. Here's the garage. Best, Joshua

Zappto, Any chance we could see the ship illuminated in a dimmer lit room? It'd be awesome to see how much of her is lit up now. I'm excited to see this finished!~ Joshua

Bob, I hear ya with the struggles of this model. I've actually started to crutch off of a Syren kit someone had started but didn't finish in both parts and instructions. Both ships are American built 2 masted vessels of similar size of the same period and the kits were the same scale. Chuck's instructions have a lot more pictures and details especially around rigging the bow spirit, etc. I've given up on the instructions that came with the PDN and am relying heavily on Chappelle's drawings and Reed's book. The Syren came with photo etched parts for gun ports that I plan to use. The Syren's instructions are on the MicroMark website for download in PDF. Josh

I live in S. Jersey, so you wouldn't have to ship albeit $400 is higher than I can afford to spend on that right now.

Great progress so far! I have this kit as well and I also had the same reaction to the cut-away section in the hull. I also plan to just fully plank it solid. Joshua

The needle of glue also works on a bottle of zap, see? If the glue dries in the needle, hit it with a lighter but don't breath in the fumes On a side note, i don't know how you can work with this medium, i think i would find it rather frustrating...

Another good resource may be this build log of a Flattie another member did, I thought he did a nice job and it's always helpful to see another's interpretation for some inspiration and/or understanding. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/988-chesapeake-bay-flattie-by-teleman-intarsia-124-completed/?hl=flattie Good luck, I'll be keeping an eye on your progress. Just remember to have fun along the way, I'm working through my first wood kit build and things can get frustrating sometimes while you're learning. Josh
