cog Posted May 31, 2019 Share #426 Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) Didn't have much time this week. Put some Tamiya putty on the hull, sanded it the next day, and reapplied. Will have some more sanding to do, and hopefully get on to priming the hull this weekend. Received new filters for my spraybooth today, the old ones were completely clogged. Looking forward to your constructive comments Denis! Edited May 31, 2019 by cog Old Collingwood, Canute, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."

cog Posted June 9, 2019 Share #427 Posted June 9, 2019 (edited) Working on the hull, so much to do.Used Tamiya Basic Type Putty for it as it dries reasonably fast. I had to add three layers ... oh what joy ... finally I could make some dust as all those wood builders are complaining about Added the trurrets for those 15cm gun turrets at it's flanks, and after that I could put on the first two deck pieces. The focsle has a superstructure on it, with a vent. Instead of following RGL's method of drilling it out, I cut layers from the inside until it opened the "louvres". If you look good you can see the red top from the glue bottle Lot's more to do before I can start priming the hull. I am not painting ribs like RGL, I have been over photographs for quite some time, and studied them thoroughly, but I cannot find a single one showing the lines so typical for the modern ships. I may have to take into account that the bottom hull plating at that time was far thicker than presently applied. The upper hull has been armoured and doesn't show any ribs or oilcanning effects either, which will make this build comparatively easy to paint. However I will be trying my hand at chipping and weathering. First things first though: Finishing the hull for priming ... off at a slow pace Edited June 9, 2019 by cog egkb, lmagna, popeye the sailor and 13 others 16 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."

cog Posted June 9, 2019 Share #429 Posted June 9, 2019 Thanks, mate. I can appreciate the time you needed to get this build going, most of it will be prepping as far as I can see. For there is little plastic when compared to e.g. Yamato. I plan to remove the louvres and replace them by thinner brass sheet. See if that will make a difference, at least it will keep me bussy a wee bit longer Canute, src, popeye the sailor and 4 others 7 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."

Old Collingwood Posted June 9, 2019 Share #430 Posted June 9, 2019 Love your thinking about the louvrs - small details (and using brass stonger) makes such a difference. OC.

cog Posted June 21, 2019 Share #436 Posted June 21, 2019 Prepping the hull. Drilled the holes for the torpedo net suppot beams, just the port side. Oddly enough, the starboard side is off scale by 2 mm(!) I've decided I've just got to live with it. Work is pestering me. Somehow the real important things in life get the least attention!

cog Posted July 3, 2019 Share #440 Posted July 3, 2019 Thanks Sam, another little bit. I've finished the "seams" at the top of the bow running back. Started on the forward swinging boom. When I was looking for the parts, it already screwed me eyeballs !!! the boom itself is 3.7cm (just over 1.5") long ... go figure, I get a splittin' headache from the Musashi guns, what will this give me ... I found an image which is easier on the eyes, than the one I've got for the build instructions The second boom, the stowed one is even smaller, but has the same nice little parts to it. Ken, if you start her, you are in for some fiddly bits ... Grant me strength popeye the sailor, Piet, Old Collingwood and 8 others 11 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."
