Thank you all guys for your replies!


If you are referring to the wire extremety yes, I drybrushed with light grey oil. As for the planks I didn't dry brush them, I rubbed them with sandpaper twice and then I washed them with burnt umber oil..Now,about the exterior...Actually it's paper tape which of course I'm going to remove when everything in the diorama is set and done..
Cheers,
Panagiotis.

Hi all!
Thank you all for your comments of encouragement and praise! Trying to do my best as this project is demanding and the most entertaining of all my IJNAF dioramas..
Now..I wonder if there is a photo of either the Akagi or of any other IJN carrier showing the bridge,(pilothouse)..I intend to put some detail into the area in my diorama and any help would be valuable..
Thanks in advance,
Panagiotis.
 
Shinpachi, thanks a lot, yet what I'm looking for is the interior of the compass bridge and the like..BTW, lovely short film that is!
Geo,thanks, I've got the book, very informative and valuable..
Darryl,thank you for your comment!
I'm trying to find photos from ships like the Mikasa which are kept in excellent condition..



..Or taking photos from movies,like the following for example..
