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:

Looking sharp. I like the rigging. Hell, I like all of it!

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!

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.

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/0prod ... -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 :)

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....
