Great to see you tackling this subject. I also have some "electric motors" to make for my model and I was also thinking about using wire for the cooling fins. It looks great, even in your scale, although I intend to use a different technique after all. Mine would be in 1/100 scale though. When you start with detailing like this, the model will take a long time to finish. But the result will be well worth it!

Thank you very much for your comments. You are right Neptune, when you start with details, the date of finish extends so far on time.
Now, i have decided to leave the hangar and start with some detail in the hull. These are the weld beads on the hull made from stretched sprue and then sanded.

And these are some other details,

And this, the place for the anchor

Thanks for your attention

All your details are great, it look like you're competing for the most detailled ship in 1/200 scale ! you're right, the hell is in the details, it take an awful amount of time but it's really rewarding at the end, you never regret. :thumbs_up_1:
