Amazing work Steve! The stuff you put on tanks is clunky by comparison!

Nice work. I would have gone blind by now trying to that kinda PE work.

Excellent work Steve, I have a sub in the stash and you are wetting my appetite to do a naval build!

The railings weren't too bad. The radar antenna on the gun directors were the worst.

Thanks. I've got a HobbyBoss USS Alaska waiting in the wings when this is done.

Thanks. The armour PE is a lot larger, too.

Looks positively stunning Steve!

Reeeeeeeeeally looking forward to see how this will look with everything painted and the crew figures implemented!
Certainly awesome, that much is certain!

Best regards

Thanks, Raoul.

What's with the really tiny font? Trying to give an old man eye strain?

Slow and steady progress.

For the last week, I've been working on the masts.

THe forward mast has this observation 'cabin' set on a platform. This platform was 11 pieces of PE which assembled easily. Below that was some sort of cage that I can't figure out what it was for.

The after mast has another PE platform. Unfortunately, some of the PE supports got lost to the carpet monster

I've also added some of the dual 20mm mounts and the 8 barrel pom-pom gun.

Next up, I'll be working on some more PE for the railings.
