Any plans to put Ammo boxes around the deck?

I only got about 20 left according to all my reference, I've laid about 90 already.

If you can, please post some photos of where you are placing them.

Are you using them both on deck and in the tubs?

Just the deck as far as I know, any reference on ammo boxes on any of the tubes cuz I haven't seen any?

Kind of odd that the PE Set has tall boxes that would fit in smaller areas around the ship like tubs.

Look at top rows.

And Yamato is starting to look like Yamato now. Cool stuff chap!

Yes, that's what I was thinking. Also, they don't really fit anywhere due to their size. Not sure if they are oversized aswell like the smaller ones.
Would prolly be a better fit for 1/200.

Maybe that's a question for the Ponto's guy, but he's slow in answering emails.

Ok finished the most of the stuff on the island. Only some AA guns remain.

So test fitting revealed that the last tubes hammocks were interfering with the closed triple 25s.
So I cut a piece out of it , did some restoration and made a new guard on both sides.

Looking great and getting so close to the home stretch. Every time I read your updates/images, I'm more and more impressed.

Can't wait to see her finished!

So I'm in the middle of a rigging spree, so it's upto you if you still want to see some rigged pics or wait for the finished ship?

Prolly get some more pics of the AAs and ammo boxes but mostly everything is about getting ready to READY!

YES! Please more rigging photos! The more the better!!! Thank You!!

If you can, show exactly where you are attaching the rigging!

I'll try to get some photos up tomorrow, the rigging material is really fine though so I hope something will be visible
There's plenty to do on the rigging but I try to get as much as I can without going mad, I'm not a pro rigger in anyway so don't expect too much though!

This looks absolutely fantastic! What are you using for the rigging?

Here's some reference to help plan your rigging.

Great work! You are finishing a new ship while my build is still going nowhere!
