    Aoshima 1/700 ijn Mutsu.

    Finished this at last, this is my second 1/700 ship and first go at etch detail at this scale. Hence the railings being a bit untidy in places but there is probably easier ships i should have tried for a first attempt . Anyway, a nice kit if not totally accurate, etch railings,crane and catapult...

    A bit more done, guns painted, they could have benefited from some metal barrels. Funnels have had pe tops added and some paint. The crane was fun but has come together ok, just one more to do!

    These look like they could be useful for holding cylindrical objects as thats whats most likely to go ping.

    This is the last thing for the model room,spent a small fortune getting it sorted but i haven't spent much on kits lately! It was about time i replaced that little brown box although it has served me well.

    Got some red on the hull,probably should have been a bit of a brighter red but its a big improvment on what trumpeter would have you paint it which would have been cocoa brown, more suitable for jap ships. Im gonna try to weather it, once i checked out some utube videos anyway ;)

    1/200 would be a challenge Chris but mine is the tamiya new tool 1/350! This is how many i got to do,each one needs a hole drilled to fit them. And heres how big they are.

    A quick update,so this is the first time ive really put any effort into weathering a deck and the first time ive ever used oils so im pretty happy with the outcome albeit i still need plenty of practice, think ive given it the greyish worn look and took the edge off the tan. I mixed a reddish...
