Hasegawa's 1/350 Nagato with Lionroar

[ComfortablyNumb]

Hi guys and thanks for your comments! Not much new, but got decks 7 and 8 on the superstructure done:

 

deck 7 assembled and installed on superstructure


deck 8: those japs were big on binoculars   *edit* well, just noticed in the pic...there are two distinct ejector marks on the outside binocular deck, hmmm...guess nothing a couple of ammo boxes won't hide, but despite the small flaws (and the one gig one, the CAD hull) the kit fits together wonderfully so far


 

Thanks for viewing! -Tim

Incredible as usual!

My goodness!!!! The details on this thing is breath-taking. 1/350 scale is not an eeasy scale to work in either. Well done. One question. Do you use a one of those microscope-type glasses to work with those metal parts?

Can't wait to see it come together!

geeeeeeeezuz man!!!!!!....... I can't believe what I'm seeing!  That's what you call surgical precision. Don't you even think of painting it!!!!  Simply awesome!!!  Best assembly/pe work I've ever seen.  Period!

I think this should not be painted, It will be a shame to hide all that hard work you are putting into the pe.

I agree 100% with spud!  Maybe just a clear coat to keep the brass looking pristine.  This build is just too meticulous, neat and tidy to foul up with paint!!  Let it shine Tim, let it shine

Thanks very much for your input gentlemen, its certainly appreciated! We'll see if I do end up painting the brass, but the plan is stay r-a-w so far.

Well finally... I have the superstructure done. Here a couple pics of the top deck and the total ss subassembly:

Is there a limit on how many times I can use "incredible" in a single thread?

Incredible!

[Myke]

This is absolutely phenomenal. The PE is so cleanly attached it's just incredible. I just want to you buy you a beer or something for allowing me to even look at this thing.
