North Star model also produce Pom Poms, both the octuple mount and quad mount. Their stuffs look amazing I think.

@Steve, I hope you could continue building your exquisite ships! Though your schedule must be populated with countless designs, right? :big_grin:

1944 :smallsmile:
I passed on designing them in favor of resin products like those by WEM, Master Model and Flyhawk (possibly others). Not sure if they are still available. You might check with Richard at Toms Model Works to see if he has any available.

I used WEM PomPoms on my build. Nice.

Chris certainly did a magnificent job on his builds:)
So, that set includes all the colours needed for a build of an RN battleship?

The box is Lifecolor's set of RN paints. As I understand it, they got permission from Chris to use his PoW model on the cover, even though Chris didn't actually use the Lifecolor paints on it...

Awaiting the enlarged Aft funnel platform..... model used is the Tamiya 1/700 King George V.... The 3D printed parts are superb and minor surgery is required for the signal deck. Looking forward to further parts being released.

What is that box in the first picture? Is the cover Chris's PoW build? :thumbs_up_1:

Aop.

I stand corrected.

Harq, the 0.64mm spacing you have in the photo is exactly what I used on Duke of York.

IMHO, and I wholeheartedly agree with EJ, it is a very good product with good widths for planks and looks very good on DoY up close, far, far better than the kit's deck.

I believe, and I could very well be wrong, that for an Iowa class ship, the planks were/are 8 inches wide. The Iowa class experts would have to chime in here to confirm or deny that. If confirmed, N-Scale Car Siding would be closer to scale.

Be advised that the grooves in Car Siding are more shallow than V-Groove. Heavy paint could easily fill the Car Siding grooves ruining the effect. If you choose to go with Car Siding, choose your paint, and painting technique, carefully.

Hope this helps!

Thank you. I was asking in reference to other 1/350 warships, an Iowa class BB for instance, but I know typical deck planks were maybe 5 to 6 inches in width which equates to scale widths of less than half a millimeter...

Well it comes in different widths, i.e., distance between grooves so there's not just one size. I didn't really understand your comment with no mention of scale (no context).

Harquebus wrote:Greetings. Which specific Evergreen V-groove sheet styrene did you use to replicate the decks?

Thanks,
The wrong one, but not a bad one. A better choice is N Scale Car Siding, 3-1/4" Spacing. This gives an even narrower plank width of ~8 scale inches in 1/350 scale.

I used N Scale Car Siding for the flight deck of a 1/350 USS Saratoga and it looks very, very good.

Duke of York Extended aft funnel deck arrived today......

Only surgery that has been required so far, see pic, is the removal of the area above the yellow tape.
