could indeed... but as they are packet by 4 and I need 10, means I need 3 pack (with 2 unused and won't be used as this scale isn't my scale) ... so about 18 US + shipping... that's more than the price of the kit and only for 1 type of guns, ... I'll make them

not sure yet how I'm gonna do the guns... but this is an idea for the barrels

finally fixed bridge part

and added center top 40mm AA gun director bath tub

concentrated my attention on rear stack ...

all on picture is now fixed except rear stack

I thought I'd give Chuck and all that follow a little pleasure...
how Center part is now compared with how it was

and a bit more in detail

think I'll stop here adding on rear stack (except filling the tubs with what should be in of course) and finally also fixed it

further evolution...

all propeller blades are made and half are more fine-tuned

Triumph68 · Post by **Triumph68** » Sat Dec 12, 2020 11:53 am

my way of doing...
first the holes

connecting the holes with cutter

fine tuning... 16 are done out of 30 and 3 deck traps out of 6

Triumph68 · Post by **Triumph68** » Mon Dec 14, 2020 11:20 am

all 30 needed and all protected deck-traps are done

things go slowly ...lack of time... still, 2 new protection walls made

worked a bit on the secondary guns

details.... impossible to show each individual piece so I took the ship in 4 close ups ... every piece except the main guns is fixed, enjoy

today I fixed them on board...

I'm pretty happy with them... only thing now... there are many more on that ship... and of different sizes... pfff what have I been thinking about

Triumph68 · Post by **Triumph68** » Mon Dec 21, 2020 10:56 am

This is looking good! Makes me want to re-do my old USS New Jersey! Keep it up!

txs Itchy, do so, do so and make that old kit a beauty
doing many stuff at same time ... but then...there are man details to do

a forgotten thing

completing walls and adding stairs

making and adding the mushroom looking I think air intakes

Triumph68 · Post by **Triumph68** » Thu Dec 24, 2020 12:22 pm

these have been real difficult AA walls to make, probably because there are 2 identical and they are the lowest of them all

a little overview

Brilliant work on a toy-like original - a true labour of love! Bravo!!

Love the transformation, on a step back you really get taken away.

Txs Pascal and Warspite

today family day....not much time for modelling, still 1 more wall done...I know its not much... but each piece done, brings it closer to the end
