Thanks Rob have not taken quite enough pics of the SS yet have the Veterns search light out front much improvement over the kits.

That is Sasweeet and the weathering really making it pop.

The Bridge is getting close to completion maybe 2/3 more weeks as you can see I have grafted on some brass rod off the upper part of the SS seeing how much rigging will be involved.The next part I reworked was the main radar platform cutting off the molded C38's and placing the aftermarket I will rework those not smooth or flat for my liking.Pics #4/5 show the new mast again made out of telescoping hollow rods to support the vast amount of rigging I will encounter later this was a first for me.Thanks for looking and likes fellas.

I understand that Ernie no biggee

Came out Nice Guy!I have always and probably 1/72 if that day ever comes but build a Dio from the "Band of Brothers" Carentan the tank coming over the hill something if done right would recognize.

The finish did come out nice on that one and for me actually hid the identity of the plane had to look at the title again.

That came out Nice John and the gloss seems to fit it well also

Nice improvements!

That's all I used in the machine shop 35yrs ago and still today it's the only way.

Hey it all looks great from here and the decal I never would of known.

It's just that funds have gotten that tight Ernie shoot I have not bought a new kit in 3/6 months(maybe longer) just ancillary stuff.

Nice looking IP Kriss.

That's looking mighty fine Peter

So Speilburg movie is finally about to show itself...I have to say I am not overly impressed with the trailer but I did enjoy the new version of "Catch 22"

Nice Looking Crate!!

You seem to be rocking through this one Peter at a good pace looking absolutely wonderful by the way!!

Looking Good Jeroen starting to see some daylight?

The desk is a mess but the Bridge continues to grow.The nest have been added quite easy to make rearrangement to Trumpter's idea compasses outside and three set of binoculars two lights still left to add.

That's were the fun starts.

"Stop the Presses" Time to build another Ernie in a Dio "Fancy Pants"!!

A little over an hours worth of effort making the grab bars and installing.This is not 100% in scale the width is roughly 16" about right the step distance is 11" I'm figuring more like 12/14"?The book shows four bars in a section I have five but they are there.I also added a hatch not represented and a portal.The tricky part if it can be pulled off is making the crows nest on the outside of level two with wire.

I am thinking it should be Guy keep finding little things off according to some of the prints.Like the unpainted tower you see now two rows of rails one in the back and the R/side.Then theirs like a little crows nest if I can build it will be a chore but will try.

Nice Touch!

I have wanted to see a buildout of this kit Kriss looking forward anymore further enhancements of the OOB

It's been slow going mainly building the double 40's(?) from Veteran Models they are very time consuming I have more coming from Bunker Studios will pick the best out of the litter let's say.I noticed another inaccuracy the wall behind the R/double ended up in the wrong spot had to remove the ammo box build the wall to that area and fold it...it's close.Then I noticed that a box existed in front inbetween the doubles between the ammo boxes it's a ventilation chamber for the lower deck.I fabricated something to scale and added two louver vents.The range finders are just in place ATTM nice fit.
