Tigerdvr got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in A Happy Day, U.S.S. Arizona BB-39 by Trumpeter Completed
Construction started 12/19/2021. My first 1/200 scale project. Kit was purchased from private party and included the Mk1 upgrade. She is shown as I see her in December 1941.
Paint is Vallejo AV, AK, and Scale Colors. My first time using Scale Colors, I like them. Rigging is Ezline and stainless steel wire.
The kit decal sheet is quite complete but appears too large so I used 1/350 decals. The "ARIZONA" on the port quarter is bare brass which is just a bit of artistic license. Starboard is correct.
The kit is quite complete and detailed. It could easily produce a nice model right out of the box.
I used the usual vast amount of references covering the Arizona. The Kagero Super Drawings in 3D is a fine reference and helped to clarify a number of points in the kit instructions.
The case is by AcrylicJob. I have enjoyed using them previously.
The attached pics are some quickies. I intend to do a finish set when I add her crew.
Sorry for the picture problem.
Cheers, Harley

Tigerdvr got a reaction from Dadeo911 in USS Missouri (or any Iowa class) 1/350 by Joy Yard
My Joy-Yard 1/350 Missouri is complete. She was a challenge and the instructions caused some stress occasionally. I learned a lot. Experience can be a tough task master.
I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to get this pic to display horizontally but it just wouldn't work!!

Tigerdvr got a reaction from Dadeo911 in USS Missouri (or any Iowa class) 1/350 by Joy Yard
This is my 98.75% completed Joy-Yard 1/350 USS Missouri. She is shown in early 1945 venue.
I'm finishing some main deck railing work, paint touch up, and a matt clear coat and she will be ready
for her seascape base. It was definitely a challenge for me and I learned a lot.
I was tempted to walk away from her and did take a ten day period of abstention but the challenge remained.
I spent an inordinate amount of time working through the instruction puzzle. The good amount of supplementary
material I had accumulated was a great help.
I have the framework for her seascape ready to finish and she will be complete.

Tigerdvr reacted to cdrusn89 in USF Confederacy by cdrusn89 - FINISHED - Model Shipways - 1/64
I finished the fab of the boomkins and the false rails in boxwood.
I glued in the false rails and the boomkins are just sitting in approximately the correct position.
As I said before I am going to defer installing the boomkins until the end of the build to keep my elbows (or other appendages) from tearing them off during the remaining construction.

Tigerdvr got a reaction from mtaylor in Mk1 upgrade for 1/200 Arizona
Thanks JeffT, that's about what I have. The more I study them and compare them with the kit instructions the clearer things get. Just takes a bit of engineering to make sure things are assembled in the correct sequence.

Tigerdvr got a reaction from mtaylor in Mk1 upgrade for 1/200 Arizona
I purchased Trumpeter's 1/200 Arizona from a private party. The deal included the Mk1 Design upgrade 20019.
The instructions for the PE upgrade makes me feel like some pages may be missing. I haven't used Mk1 before.
If anyone has used this upgrade, please advise how many pages were in the instructions.
I really don't expect too much trouble with this project as is but any information will be appreciated
Thanks, Harley

Tigerdvr got a reaction from Canute in USS Missouri by B-Ram - FINISHED - Revell - Scale 1:535 - PLASTIC
Welcome to the Returnee group which seems to grow everyday. As you have already learned, things from different plastics, paints, adhesives, etc. have changed a lot from what we had in our childhood. It sounds like you have the patience of age so enjoy yourself. Don't be afraid to make a mistake. It's just the learning curve. You can't make a bobo that one of us hasn't already made.
Much help is available on this and other websites.
Have fun, Harley

I just received the Joy Yard Missouri kit. A cursory inspection shows that the advertisement hype is
no exaggeration. Even the packaging is first class. The PE is in a separate box wrapped like a piece of jewelry.
The details are really outstanding. The instruction manual is full color and appears very complete. The directions
for bending a PE part specify which direction and how many degrees of bend to use.
I only hope I can do this kit justice, it will be a challenge in deed. I have to finish my Indianapolis first.
Here are some pictures to show some of the kit highlights.
Enjoy, Harley

I like your minesweeper. It looks like a nice scale to work in. This is the place to expand your modeling horizons.
