Hi Friend's.

This is the Tamiya kit with WEM etched set...1/350.

Thank you so much Leo.Your comments bring a smile to my face

Thanks so much Si, .I tried a new way to do the sea and to be honest I really like it,though next time I will try and make the bow wave a bit tighter.

Great work Ralph in all aspects. Amazing how you've done the sea and the waves that's an art in itself.


Well done cheers John

Very nice build Ralph. Plenty of movement going on.


Your observations about the bow wave are spot on. Also, another small point, perhaps the waves themselves could be at less of an angle from the hull, running a lot closer to the ship.


I hope you don't mind me making the above suggestion on what is already a superb action scene.


I do like a well presented ship and this fits the bill nicely. Here's to the next one.....

I don't mind in the least about your suggestion,in fact it is very helpful. .Always good to get someone else's perspective.


I have a few ship kit's in the stash and will do another one soon.

Phew, sometimes I feel I'm walking on eggshells giving, as I see it, well meant advise and help.


Ralph, a good point of reference is Google Images. I use this a lot, particularily when doing waves and general sea stuff. Take a look at 'ship's wakes' for some great pictures of wave motion. Could be of some help for your next marine model.

Thank you Derek,much appreciated.


I had a few problems at times due to my own clumsiness.But definitely easier than 1/700.Still have a few 1/700 kits to do.

It is always nice to see a smaller Japanese warship, all too often it is always battleships.


And the fact it is beautifully done is even better.

That is superbly done Ralph. Very clean, detailed and you really have captured the motion on the base. Cracking job.
