Again, steady progress, good photo coverage, and care taken on some usually overlooked details.

Apparently a small update, but managed to make the hull shape correction, continued good progress on the superstructure.

Few photos to gauge the progress of the build but in the few that are there shows the superstructure has undergone extensive work, and all looking quite clean. Good job, more photos next month please.
Silver (3pts) James Martiney's 1/350th USS Kidd
Good photo coverage, but appears to be pacing himself for a full 12 months worth of a build, steady build, well done.

I must say that both of you are doing an excellent job with your builds. Nice, steady pace with quality results. Having both of these kits in the stash, I can tell you that the can be somewhat challenging. But with careful attention to detail, they make beautiful models.

Keith, your attention to the hull is outstanding. I must say that the work on the island is very nice also.

James, awesome work on the superstructure. Your approach to building is a perfect step-by-step for those who are getting back in to the hobby or for those brand new builder. On a side note, I would suggest getting a small piece of styrene rod and your pin vise and practice drilling out the center. I was able to drill out the main and secondary armament on my 1/700 HIJMS Kongo with a little practice.
Great Job guys, keep it up!!
Cheers,
