Hopefully I'll be back soon with another ship. I just need to sneak in an order and have it delivered when the wife isn't home to see!


Haha! :)

Great work, Brett :thumbs_up_1:

Thanks everyone! It was definitely a challenging first of it's kind build for me. When you're used to building 1/48th jet's or simple starships, it's quite a change!

Hopefully I'll be back soon with another ship. I just need to sneak in an order and have it delivered when the wife isn't home to see!

I really enjoyed following your build- it is sure one to be proud of! Now, get that thing in a case before the dust lands!

Regards,
Timothy

What, no helicopter? :D

Heh, just kidding—she looks fantastic, mate! Your phone seems to make for a pretty decent camera as it is, so I can't wait to see the brace of photos you put up for the finisher. :wave_1:

Well, I think she's done.

Now time to break out the Nikon and the tripod, instead of the phone! :thumbs_up_1:

Question for those in the know.....rigging, are there actually lines that ran from the masts to the bow and stern? I see them on the museum ship, but I'm having a hard time finding in service pics that are clear enough to show that.

Thanks!

Awesome work Brett! Very clean build. I've been monitoring your progress and am always impressed by your workmanship.

In regards to getting stuck and loosing focus, I understand. I'm so close on my Iowa and just can't seem to push the last few items.


Thanks Scott! The last little bit does always get slower. One thing I have to make sure of is that I don't rush when I do work on it, just to get it done.

Hello Brett!

NJ looks really great and You are very close to the end. I do not know how does it work but closer I am to the finishing the model, slower I work and I loose focus... Have You got something like this too? :lol:

As for the rigging, if I may recommend something, look in here:

http://infini-model.com/index.php/0product/tool-material/

I have bought their rigging for my Mo and I am 100% satified!

Have a great day!


Thanks Wojtek! Yep, I get the same way. I guess I don't see as many "big" things to do, so I let it sit. That and the other 20 models keeps distracting me!

I'll check out the Infini rigging, that may work :)

I really appreciate the effort you have done to blend the bottom of the railings to the hull. Looks very nice and gives a good feeling of them belonging there!



Thanks! Definitely is a lot of clean up compared to your Yamato, but...it's the only way I knew how :)

More work from today. The link antenna at the bow is in progress, hoping I can run the lines on it without destroying the Eduard PE. More antennas added to the superstructure, more rigging, rudders added back (oops) and more little details going on.

Comments/critiques are always welcome!

And the Veteran Models launchers. Oy....
