Man!! Work Schedule!!! :Mad_6:

After almost three (3) weeks w/o a Whole weekend to myself, I finally have one AND was busy working on JS Towada AOE-422!!! :jump_1:

I Am Almost There in finishing this -- well detailed model!!!

As was asked in a previous post .... will I be putting walkways down on the deck....

Image

The answer is as follows.....

Image

Image

Image
Even that railing Right-In-da-Middle of the all those wires..... NOTE: Add decals Before placing wires!!! :Mad_6: :huh: Didn't lose any wires but it WAS quite a feat placing decals down w/o damage!!! :dead:

Image
Netting was done, but ran out of JMSDF-type netting...... I HOPE that I don't have rivet counters here on this site!!

Image
NOTE 2: Small boat can be deployed....need to re-attach the Bigger boat, but it will do the same.

Image

Just a Little bit more, Still thinking of attaching sailors on deck, but I do have this ship with her flagstaffs up....so Not an UNREP dio, but it is my First oiler!

Just need to add weathering ( even for this type of ship....JMSDF sure do Great Job upkeeping her!! ), sig-flag lines and flags AND lastly the hull number!!

Thanks, 'DanK'......as Long as it took to build ( mostly because of work schedule & building another model for my new job-site ), it has been an Interesting and Fun build!! :thumbs_up_1:

Lessons Learned: As this is my 1st Auxiliary-ship build, I do have two (2), once I lay the machinery winches & derricks, paint.....add the decals.....THEN wire it up! :thinking: 2) I Still need to get better pics of oilers and other Aux-type ships.......Especially the spanning wires and placement....There SO Many of them!!

The other ships of this type is an American AOE.....SACRAMENTO-class, and LKA.....CHARLESTON-class, those require All of those Wires!!! I also have purchased a completed SHUGHART-class T-AKR-type ship that I need to wire up the cranes!!!

Finally, coming towards the end...........Work Schedule!!!! :Mad_6:

I added the flags about the ship and Still deciding to add 'sailors' about the deck, JS Towada AOE-422 is Not re-fueling, but this has given me some methods when I do my Next Aux ship.

But check these out....
