How did I miss this from the master?!!!!!

Thank you, Norbert,Phil,Jorge,gtbred!
I start to making main guns. At first i made turrets.

Song.

Song, I wonder if I could impose on you to give me some help. I'm building the Trumpeter 1:200 model of the USS Missouri and have run across a small problem. Every single gas cylinder in the kit is all the same size and from all I've been able to determine, acetylene tanks were shorter and fatter than the other others. I noticed that you created your own tanks out of wood. Could you please tell me how you went about making them? I'd love to see some of these 3D printing outfits come out with things like this, but I guess there's not a big market for small accessories like this.

Thanks, Song.

@Song, your wood crafting skill never failed to stun me!
It wouldn't be long to see her completed!

As to gas bottles, these can be easily turned by chucking 1/16" wood dowels in a Dremel Moto Tool and use small files and sandpaper.

NJ is continuing to progress nicely!

Hi, Larry!
Thank you! your comments of gas cylinders.
I checked that in the USS MISSOURI Kagero book.You are right, There is 2 type one is slim and the other is fat.I'll correct that.
Making method , plese refer Tom's one. I think the runner of sprue is good for making cylinders.
Regards; Song.

Thank you,Phil!
I made break water. It's very difficult to make. Prepare the mold of it. Cut the shape and attach the wood rod on the top.
The result is.....

The photos...

Hi, all scratch building modellers!

To this day I'm always amazed at your work. Simply
incredible!!

Hi Song,
Amazing!
It's incredible how detailed your work is. It's a pleasure to follow your build
May I ask, for the water break, did you have to wet the wood to curve it in your mould? And do you soak it in hot or cold water?
Happy modelling!
Cheers,
Phil
