Thanks fellas for the comments the work is actually further along than those pics even just to much to show to be quite honest.I haven't posted seeing across many boards the reception has been a bit luke warm just thinking Naval is just not so much a gig.I need to figure out to sell on ebay and start downsizing some of my kits esp the 1/72 and a few 1/48's

Dang nice job, Kevin Love the antennae

Geo the tower got some remodeling if you want to say to bring her up to 1943.The upper yardarm was to short and the angle pieces needed to be added for more rigging of the era.I also added the mooring lights above the yardarm the book had a 1/200 scale drawing for the antenna so the yardarm and mooring lights are to scale.

The clarity of detail on this scale is amazing

Vic the scale does lend itself in that direction I am still teaching myself tricks and strategies all the time.I have already ordered the Pontos kit for the 1/200 Bismarck even though said kit is not in the stash ATTM it was 50% off..

Very nice work!

Thanks keeps the motivation going.

Awesome stuff Kevin.

I appreciate that Andy more will be coming.....ships.

The forward SS is rigged and I think I may of gotten about 90% now on to the rear SS many rope lines for flags in that area so some more brown into the mix.Sorry had taken two pics earlier to close got fuzzy did those without the cover you get the cover this time.

The rigging in my book now is complete there was one more line from forward SS to the main upper line between the two mast 3X times once damaging said line between the mast I said frick it!!I now move to boarding ladders,davits and the like then some railing.I have some more 1/200 railing coming in from a different vendor what was supplied is very fragile!

The double aerials took all together including the attschment to the yards about 10/12hrs in total different material ideals.What you see was the 4th iteration stretched sprue,.020 rod and a slow liquid cement I made myself so as not to burn the stretched sprue...it was quite maddening at times.

It can be done Andy I have done it for all my IJN ships thus far.The line I am using is flat and it shows on some of the lines when I have to stay just taunt enough.Their is another manufacture over seas Infinity line that is round the last time I looked about 1/2 years ago hard to come by in the US.Yhanks for the kind comments
