This is looking really great! Hope you figured out the base. I bought the same keel blocks set from L'Arsenal for a USS Iowa build (converting the VF Missouri kit to the Iowa).

As I have been told, the platform exists on their "deluxe" verison :)

isn't there a bloody problem with this door?

and now that I've seen it, that's all I'm going to see...

so either we sand down the door, or we go and scratch up a little platform...[/quote]

Yes! I discovered the Iowas had a platform there too as I was building my 1944 New Jersey, and then discovered I'd missed it on my Vietnam build and had to CAREFULLY add it on. I think I'll need to add it to my Korean "Police Action" NJ as well.

Odd that they have the door there but no platform.

summary of my adventures

glue the tins onto the paper template

You put in slow cyano and press... (the weight of words)

[url=https://servimg.com/view/20547492/76][img]https://i.servimg.com/u/f72/20/54/74/92/montan13.jpg[/img][/url]

and it's clear that things didn't work out too well...
I can think of several reasons for this:
- my cyano not totally suitable, although I have my doubts
- my CP base was not scraped enough, so not very receptive to gluing
- the pressure exerted by the 4kg (I weighed) of books was not uniform

We're not getting discouraged and we're gluing the loose tins back together 1 by 1 ^^.

Viewed from the side, you can see just how monstrous the ship is compared to tins almost 2 metres high...

And as if my stories about glue weren't enough, when it came time to paint, an ugly joint appeared...
my CP had come unstuck from its wooden base...
Damned! I've got to start all over again!

Thanks Timothyo :)

Now it's time to tackle the base of this beautiful baby...

According to the docking plan, we have 426 studs... that's a lot, isn't it?

To fix everything in place, we glue a sheet of plastic card onto the wooden base, which is then scratched to help the glue and paint set in place:

She is looking good! You do nice and clean work!

So that's it, we can say it's finished, all that's left is to install it on its tinsel lines. :)

The plaque with the name of the ship :

We're well advanced today: the railings are in place, the secondary armament is in place, and the quadruple bofors are finally all in place...

In short, all that's left is to fit the 38 simple oerlikons and the assembly will be complete, all that's left is a very light patina and you're ready to go!

And a few overviews for the pleasure

We add the anchor chains

[url=https://servimg.com/view/17603515/7695][img]https://i.servimg.com/u/f37/17/60/35/15/monta110.jpg[/img][/url]

The superstructures are glued together, as are the railings, which are a bit of a challenge to assemble. Some of the railings tend to be a little too long, so you have to adjust them...

Even if they are not planned, we add staircases that come from generic PE sheets.

Then we start the rigging

And finally, the catapults, which are relatively easy to fold:

We're working on creating the missing platform...

The rod box has served well, the brackets are from my 1/350 Fletcher! :)

We're taking advantage of the fact that the front superstructure is well advanced to start rigging with the installation of the halyards.

The 20mm oerlikons will continue, and the AA parts for the superstructure will all be fitted... There are still a bunch of them left on the main deck!

[url=https://servimg.com/view/17603515/7690][img]https://i.servimg.com/u/f37/17/60/35/15/monta105.jpg[/img][/url]

Then we're off to work on the main turrets, because yes, the little bofors and oerlikons are cute, but we want something heavy! 406mm family guns! :)

With macros as merciless as JR Ewing's, we're going to have to clean up the moulding lines a bit on these affuts...

As I've just received my Bofors, I've assembled the first 6, which represents 1/4 of the endowment...

Easy to remove, easy to glue with cyano, but it's very small, very small, optivisor essential :)

isn't there a bloody problem with this door?

and now that I've seen it, that's all I'm going to see...

so either we sand down the door, or we go and scratch up a little platform...

MK.37 firing directors for the main turret, straightening of certain PE parts and, as the model lacks certain details, use of the spares box.

We're concentrating on the main tower, adding the last PE railings and a few other knick-knacks.

Let's move on to the directors, there are 4 to do, but it takes time to fold all this...

Well, after a long break, TRIUMPH's DCA 3D is on its way, so we're back to Montana.

What if I reused the base of my Hood Flyhawk?

No, I'm joking, it'll be on tins

Red on the hull

We remove the parafilm and make a small blank assembly

The hull is then painted according to the MS-22 scheme.

we apply a coat of "Dark Blue" and start masking, again with Parafilm

We're starting to paint the deck, using Vallejo 71.444 wood deck.

Once dry, we pass a brown juice and a sepia

A special mention for the engraving of the deck: you'll notice that the battens are not aligned, but the separations are more or less random. This is an important detail because this kit is (to date) the only one to have this type of engraving, which is much more realistic for a warship.

For civilian ships (particularly liners), it's a question of aesthetics; the battens need to be standard sizes, not on a military ship...

Some strips are painted in lighter or darker shades to break up the uniformity of the paint. A veil of diluted paint will soften the contrast, so that it is just suggested.

Puttying the hull joints

And after a big sanding session, we apply the black primer.
