Welcome to Model Shipwrights Daniel,
Your Chikuma is coming along very nicely, clean build with an abundance of Tom's very fine and very fragile PE.
I've taken the liberty to make some changes to your photos to bring out the details.
Thanks for sharing the Chikuma with us and hope to have you along,
Frank

Welcome aboard Daniel, your Chikuma is looking pretty happening. Toms' Model Works PE is a good choice for her. It replaces a number of things from the kit that go a long way to making for a better looking finished project. Can't wait to see how she progresses.

Your Chikuma is coming along quite nicely! I built her when she came out and had a great deal of fun building her! Keep the updates coming!

Hello my friend
As I suspected, its looking great
Tell me one thing, how is that base material working? As you know, I was planning on using it as the base for my models (If and when I finish them )
'till Thursday
