Koppalakki Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share #154 Posted November 29, 2018 And prolly the last update before finishing! After seeing this I knew exactly what I wanted to have on the helipad! Only one I could find in 1/350 for the moment was a Sea Dragon from Orange hobby so that had to do! The chopper is made of resin and some PE details. I dressed her up with my own details including grab handles wires etc. details. And on the deck! Had to move the Pioneer a bit and added one deck equipment tractor. pjofc4, paulsutcliffe, Dubz and 17 others 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESF Posted December 2, 2018 Share #174 Posted December 2, 2018 I just completed a breathtaking ride through your magnificent build. There is such a wealth of detail that it would take hours and hours to fully enjoy it in person. I shudder to think what you would do at a larger scale - my guess is everything would work!

BETAQDAVE Posted December 13, 2018 Share #176 Posted December 13, 2018 Personally, I have had very little opportunity to see this ship, having only seen it from a distance, but your model really makes it come to life. You reveal so many details that even had I been on this ship, I would probably never have even noticed. My only view of this ship that ended WWII was from a memorial for another important warship where it all started, the Arizona. Back before becoming wheelchair bound, we made ten trips to Maui. On most of these trips we spent part of our time on Oahu and made four visits to the Arizona memorial in Pearl Harbor. On the first visit we were with two of our friends from WI. The visit for me was more emotional than I thought it would be as my father served in WWII and a distant cousin of ours was a member of the crew on the Arizona. When it was sunk, he was one of the ones that ended up entombed in her hull. It was one reason my father enlisted right out of High School, despite his father’s objections to doing so. Now you would think that as he was someone that I only knew of vaguely through my father’s side of the family, that it wouldn’t really choke me up like seeing his name etched on the wall in the memorial did. I took several photos of the listing on the wall including a close up (shown below) of the portion showing our cousins name to take back to show my family, as I was the only one to go there and see it. My uncle used to live on Kauai for several years, but he never saw it. That aside, we went to it three more times with various friends and despite having seen it before, I was always affected the same way. The last time there, my sister from New York was with us and she seemed to be likewise affected. All this over someone we never knew. So, in 1999, I think it was, the USS Missouri became a part of the Pearl Harbor memorials and tours of the ship became available to the public. However, by that time I had to walk with the aid of a walking stick and was not able to go aboard her as there were very steep access ways, not to mention all the ladders to negotiate once aboard. I did, however, get a good telephoto shot from the Arizona Memorial ramp that I have included and show below. If I am ever able to return to Hawaii in my wheelchair, things will apparently now be quite different. I have read that he tour is currently available to wheelchair bound visitors as it has become ADA accessible, with a special wheelchair accessible ramp from the dock up to the aft of the ship, elevator access to other decks, and an accessible rest room aboard. As I approach 70, any more visits to this ship become less and less likely. But thank you for showing me and all of us at MSW your excellent representation of the “Mighty Mo”.

ESzczesniak Posted June 8, 2019 Share #177 Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) I just came across this great build and l’m reviving a bit of an old topic. I’m just pulling mine out and this is certainly a benchmark to aim at. When you do you oil canning effect, do you mask/paint a single horizontal line at a time and then move the tape up? Or do you mask several horizontal levels at once with very thin strips and spray them, then move on to the vertical? I very much like you’re effect. I did a similar shading on my USS Laffey build: https://www.dropbox.com/s/k7aqn9v8yrd98ip/04.jpg?dl=0 But I masked a grid and sprayed the same corner with a lighter color. Overall good effect, but extremely tedious and I think highlighting the raised “rib” of the oil can the way you’re method does is a more realistically. It would be very uniform, but I wonder if the process could even be sped up by spraying the lighter color first, then using a course window screen as a mask for the grid and then spray the darker color. Then overspray to fill the contrast. Edited June 9, 2019 by ESzczesniak popeye the sailor, Canute, EricWilliamMarshall and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Rosenthal Posted May 3, 2023 Share #179 Posted May 3, 2023 I just came across your work, as I am starting this kit, and it is incredible. I have a question-I have the Pontos detail up set - 35009F1 - and the larger pieces of back deck as well as some parts of the wood deck do not fit/ line up. Any idea what gives, since your pieces seem to fit. I’ve emailed Pontos, but haven’t heard back from them yet. Thanks. Again, incredible job.
