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 like your work Greg
cheers

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... ?

Beautiful work! I wish I had your home-PE-making skills�

I hope you'll get some more hobby-time soon,

HI Greg

I like your so pretty boats very fine and crispy .
cheers

The Polish Alien strikes again! Ouch! Superb!

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.

thanks Dan...

and barrels fixed:








Main mast just rising up:

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

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...

Great!

for those who would like to visit our wonderful city and very nice event

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:

superb work Greg! you my friend are very talented producing P.E parts




Jose

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...?
