On such a large (1:1 scale) warship the number of small details are endless! Your ship requires careful planning in it's construction to access the placement of completed sub assemblies. There was a story about a new officer getting to know the carrier he was aboard, and he wondered what a certain area was but could find no access. As it turned out they ended up cutting an access and discovered a completely equipped machine shop, with no door!

Dear Tom!
Yes there are endless details. I understood that officer's action. I study and produce equipments,parts of this ship.
It's surfacer paing.

Hi, gentlemen!
I am working rooms of starboard. There are several fuel receive/supply equipments.

Your painting ventilator is very clever! When covered with a basic primer coat a model warship always seems to take a more realistic vision before our eyes. This is a very large model and perhaps not so easy to move around! Possible damage when moving them is always a concern!

Wonderful work! Tom

Dear Tom!
I used some strong motor for ventilating. That is satisfied with me.It was difficult to paint primer coat by 0.3mm airbrush.
Yes you are right. It is not easy to turn.
Thank you always.

Hi, gentlemen!
I am doing some detail work of starboard rooms.
Song

Yikes! The detail is mind-blowing.

One is doing a very good job when One has to look closer to judge whether a photo is the actual ship or your model!

Excellent! Tom

Tom is right! I thought the top picture was your model until I noticed the sailors in the photo. Or maybe you do have some 1:200 figures for your model?!

Dear Phil!
Tom is always right. Thank you very much.
I didn't have any 1:200 figures.

Hi, gentlemen!
I've installed starboard rooms after railing.
Song

Fabulous work as usual

Great to see you try new materials as well, with very sharp finish too!

very true comment

Thank you,mike and Neptune!
There are 3 places of UNREP.
I've made probe receiver on 1 place.The other places are omitted pipe and probe receivers.

Song,

I have a brief think about the sheer head-crushing depth of detail a modeler of your caliber might pack into a 1/200 scale kit of something like a destroyer or the Titanic, but then I realized it'd actually be easier for you to scratch everything from the keel up. No need to worry about any inaccuracies from the kit, whether from laziness or the limitations of injection molding (even with copious photo-etch and other multimedia options), or pondering over how to "open her up" to show more than would otherwise be possible.

The above taken into account with the fact that lots of ships simply aren't kitted, I start to understand why scratchbuilding has such an allure to it.

Dear Sean!
I think several consideration of my style of model building.It is easy to use model kits photo etchings,etc...
I use my own way to build models just my way! It is good merit of scratch building.
So I dont buy model kits...etc because I am poor. That is why I am a scratch builder.
Thank you!

Hi,gentlemen!
I've made fuel hose and installed the shelter.
and I've made some balconies.

Song,

I am just curious. Is this build a commission job? Or will it be part of your collection?
