Anthony, your work is always so amazing and I love what you did with the torpedo launchers! Very inspiring work!

Splendid work Anthony, you have really done her justice.

Nice Myoko! I really like the way you detailed her!

Thanks everyone. I had a hard time with the linoleium deck near the bow but I got it looking pretty good again. When I found out this was a build feature, Mr. Smith generously offered to post a few more photos for me of the build process. They are in the feature now, Thank you Mr. Smith.

Heck of a job on the Myoko, I have the Nachi and did a lot of things as you did with this one. These 1/700 kits that have been upgraded are worth a look see for sure. I used Toms' Model Works PE IJN Cruiser set along with a few bits from GMM's for mine, Toms' rails were much better than the GMM ones even though they are curved up for the bow end. The Morskie Monograph on the Nachi came in real handy for upgrading the mast and several other parts from the kit.

Good work on a nice kit.

WOW!

Kenny stole my BZ, but you earned another. BZ!!

great job and great mini-lessons, LOTS of great ideas and tips... thanks for sharing! cheers

So many good ideas from Anthony - and while I do my best to follow the tips and advise, I still get lost over slip mats, paper punch, and wrapping wire around a drill bit and cutting it in 3's great ideas.
