I bought 1/700 resin IJN sandbags, but had a difficult time positioning them about on the superstructure. Part of the reason was their fixed curvature mold. After a visit from an Arts and Crafts store, I ended up finding something that unusually worked - elastic cord beads! I'll use the resin sandbags on the deck. Need to apply black wash and dull coating.

Great work! Nice and tidy, and everything lines up straight.
Don't squize those side-cutters too hard though...

Thank you!
This one is almost done. Left with the rear gun, some weathering and a couple pilots - and the propeller!
