I dunno, Greg, you forgot the sake cooler that goes next to the boat's helm.

Ok, this is getting a little ridiculous. You have to stop now.

working on that Sir ...

but for the moment launch boats 12mm ready:

I made also a cages

this is how they look like:

I'm in doubt - to leave the boats without the cages maybe...

Stunning!

No ribbing unless you plan to simulate canvas coverings. Otherwise, it takes away from those jewels. Don't even think about it.

I will make a trial with covers...Just to see how it looks like...

Not much time for modelling now..

I finished 17m motor boats:

Some small details still will be added.
During the normal operation when these boats were kept on spardeck, the rigging was not installed I guess... Any advice... ?

hello

thanks for nice comments...
I would like to finish her before Wroclaw Model Show...http://www.wroclawmodelshow.pl/
but time is passing by quickly...

main turrets ready:

Just to pain the rest of barrels and final montage...

Since turrets will be turned I decided to fix turrets masts after final arrangements. That way it will be easier to hang up the rigging I guess ...

Great turrets and barrels. Simply great.

Why pick Wednesday and Thursday for Wroc?aw Model Show? If it was during the weekend I would have come in but can't make it midweek

blacman · Post by **blacman** » Sat Mar 07, 2015 6:26 am

Actually it is on Saturday and Sunday...
It's in April - not March.
11-12.04.2015

I believe you can make it and you will come!

it's going to be quite nice number of "700" presented as far as I know...

main mast in general done:

some small details will come on.

derrick for boats is done from 0,7mm bras rod. Kongo class had very nice distal end. I decide to make it. Since I don't have access to small tolling machine I decide to design it on piece of rolled PE

and that's the outlook:

derrick's rigging almost ready:

and highest platform as well:

thanks Jose

Let's climb up...

Main joint for upper part:

and entire main mast ready. Still without the rigging. Just halyard for main flag done.

Now time to go through the unclear picture of Kirishima's main mast rigging
I guess the main mast was black somewhere from the midpoint - equal to the top level of second funnel. But halyards maintain in gray since there were moving up&down....

Does someone has pretty clear picture of Kirishima rigging in period '41-'42 ?...

Any advice for colors...?
