I've been modelling since I was 10 years old.I like to build everything, from aircraft, amour and sci fi, but my real passion is modelling Ships. Now I'm 35, I live in Melbourne, Australia and I'm hoping to have many more years of modelling ahead!

Really first class build Jorge! I am about to start building the new tool Yamato as well, using similar upgrades. Only real difference is that I am using the Tamiya wooden deck. I do have a couple of questions though and I wondered if you could answer them? Did you fill in the hull join line between the front and rear sections of the lower hull pieces? Its a very small gap but I wondered if it needed to be filled. I have a couple of reference books but cannot find anything specific to guide me? And, with the Tamiya hand rails - any hints or tips to get that job done well? You seem to have done an amazing job with the kit. My current plan is build up the hull, put the hand rails on and then paint as an assembled item, putting the wooden deck on last. I will do a similar method for all the superstructure/armaments. Is that what you did? Finally, with the wooden deck, did you weather that down at all and if so, what did you use? Hope you can steer me in the right direction Cheers Alan
