:thumbs_up_1: Beautiful build Jose!!!! Cruisers rule!

Thank you guys , John I tried doing it the old fashion way using my trustee friend the invisible thread :lol_4: but it was a pain in the rear keeping that little sucker steady and at the end it didn�t even look the way I wanted then I came up with another idea of using LionRoar�s 0.2 mm copper rods and voila , I bought these from HLJ you know it doesn�t have to be necessarily Lionroar�s you could test with other kind of rods as long as they are average in size I don�t see any problems. HTH

Hey guys

Yesterday I spend almost 8 hours on this baby, I proposed myself to finish the reconnaissance plane, add the remaining 25 mm single AA guns also add some extra mushroom vents and ammo boxes, these came from Hasegawa BTW. Let me see paint some railings, I still need to add the stern section railings although it shouldn�t be a headache these are the last ones to be added, I�m still waiting for those L�Arsenal figures�. The partial rigging was done with the lycra rigging from WEM, I just love it. it stretches and is easy to work with specially when you are gluing it. I had to do something about those molded cable reels I scraped off the ones I could and added some from Hasegawa, the ones I couldn't get rid off I covered them using aluminun paper foil ( got to thank PAULOOI on this one) as if they were covered with canvas. I think sometimes is a good idea in taking pictures, right now I�m seeing sooo many awful errors on the paint work, I�ll definitively have a busy sunday next week :big_grin:

Martin, Dan Thank you, Thank you very much!

Agreed.

That ship just oozes power and grace. Great job!

Hey fellows

First of all happy Saint Patrick's day it's kind of late now but I didn�t want to go to sleep without showing you a couple of pics I took after I finished adding some things, the rear mast I�d say is done if I had to add something else it�d be some rigging but I think its looks decent like that, boats and davits are in place, wind socks are made out of paper in case you are wondering it was a real challenge painting and gluing them but I really wanted to add these so its just like the saying no pain no gain :lol_1: I did some work on the ship�s jackstaff, I also added some awning stanchions and even if its not accurate for the ship to have them on at that time I�d like to add more of them I like the way these look on her.
