Thanks for the comments my Friend. For the washes, I usually use Tamiya's washes. I apply them with the Built in Brush over a gloss surface where I want the wash to be placed. After it has dried, I apply a flat coat to seal them in. Hope this helps.....Cheers Mark

Looking good there, Mark. That dazzle pattern really is eye catching!

Thanks for the comments Russell. Much appreciated. The Island and Deck Crane have now been added along with the Stacks and some Deckside Netting. More to come soon.....Cheers mark

You have made that etched deck stand up an do tricks Mark,
great work,
Julian

Thank you for the comments Mate they are greatly appreciated. Using a Wash popped out the Details but as I said a while ago, this has to be the ultimate form of the Etcher's Art I have ever seen. Hats off to Lion Roar for their stunning work.....Cheers mark

Hot enough for ya? (Wipes sweat from his brow,, well not really as my house is air-coned)
That is looking passable Partis.. Come on and lift your game. You are Australian you know and we must dominate..
What am I saying?! Must be the heat.
You know I am pulling your leg Mark. If my 1/350 one looks as good as your 1/700 one I will be very happy!
If you get too hot you can always come to my place for a swim. Its only a 50km drive..
Cheers mate.
Warren

Thanks Warren for the comments and I am fine after Today. But you gotta watch for the Young and the Elderly in this Weather.....Cheers mark

OK the Zui is basically complete so it is now onto her Air Fleet. This should be fun as the Tweezers testify. More to come soon.....Cheers mark

Hi Mark
Looking great my friend, but you can have the tiny planes!
I pre-odered a 1/350 Fujimi IJN Zuikaku DX Edition yesterday. I will build the one I have in the earlier grey scheme and the DX one in the green scheme.
Or maybe you might know someone who wants the big Zuikaku cheap?
Cheers mate and keep up the great work
Warren

Thanks for the comments Warren. I have the Shokaku in 350 so I don't think I will need her Sister......Cheers mark

Zuikaku is now ready to Sail for her first Airstrike. Any C and C's are welcome.....Cheers mark

She's a real miniature masterpiece Mark! Another fine addition to the collection! Love the deck pattern!

Thanks for the comments Russell. I really enjoyed this Build but glad it's finished.....Cheers mark

Now it is off to your optometrist to get a new, stronger set of glasses...
Very nice Mr Partis. Will be interesting to see how that decl looks in 1/350.
Cheers n beers
Warren

Thanks for the comments Mr I. A few Beers would indeed be nice.....Cheers mark
