Amazing! :big_eyes: :faint:
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
Thank you,Phil!
It does'nt matter hot or cold water. It's important in fixing time....10 hour enough.
Regards, Song.

Amazing work as usual, Song! Love the 5"/38 guns! It seems like the wood is quite soft and easy to cut/drill, right? :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

Super nice Song! One comment on the 5"38 mounts, the barrels were not independently trainable in elevation and could only be decoupled from the common elevating mechanism for maintenance.

Keeps looking better and better!

Hello, would you be able to take more pics of your Tomahawk launcher, specifically close ups? (if you haven't already added them to the ship)
Need to build these for my Mighty Mo.

Thank you
Gerry

I've already install them to the ship when I read your comment.
You can find these pictures in the real ship.

Do you plan to let the main mast & funnel caps natural wood colour? Painting black will add quite a bit of "modern Iowas" look to the model...and I don't think they'll affect the details much...you decide, anyway.

Hi, Aur!
Thank you your advice about main mast and funnel caps.
But it's difficult to paint black color now.
Always thank you your kind words.
