Hi Rick
A few ships being built at the moment. It will be interesting to see what you make of this.

I've been eyeing the one up, so will follow your build with interest.
Its been four days mate. Did you walk back from Australia or something? LOL
Seriously though, it looks a great kit. I wish you all the best with the build
Battle wagon? Ain't that a tank?
PoW had a red 'bum' as you put it.
Nope, it’s a battlewagon alright. A tank is just called a target I think….
Should be good Rick.
Count me in sir, got this with extras in the stash.
Yes, red bum
Yes, red bum
Had some work to finish in Tallinn and just got home today. My wife has a very long list of stuff for me to do after being away a week and then off to Filton in the morrow.
Patience brings a satisfying reward.

Battleship everytime, always thought battlewagon is a USA thing
This is my progress so far in my first ever ship build. It’s out of the box but for the self adhesive deck. I had always gazed longingly at these Tamiya ship kits in endless model shops, often never having the money or bottle to get stuck into one. With many kits, I see these Tamiya ships as one of those models you should have a go at as a “rite of passage” experience.
I haven’t a clue about ships except they get wet and are full of people I’d hate to be couped up with, and they sometimes sink. So I’m sure the fish heads amongst us can point out any glaring errors in my build or pass on any tips.
The bull and main deck are pretty much done with some of the super structure advanced too. I’m scratching me head about how to paint the upper decks and structures without too much effing and blinding over masking.

Rick,
That is looking seriously good mate.
That is looking seriously good mate.
Looks like a successful build so far Rick. Nice boot topping.
Being me I had to try and look it up….the term battlewagon was apparently first used in 1908, but I can’t find an origin. I’ve come across it in quite a few British naval memoirs from both WW1 and WW2, so it may have originated on this side of the pond? Personally I prefer the term battleship though.
Hi Rick
Looking fine. It's always a bit of a dilemma deciding what to paint and when.
