Warren, you must live in a big house.
In 1/200 scale the Missouri should be over 53" long with a
6.5 " beam
When the 1/200 after-market P.E. stuff for the Iowa class starts to appear - surely your wallet will start to realize something is happening.

You bet, the PE set will have the average wallet lying moaning on the ground. Congrats though Warren, should be a very interesting model even if it is longer than the average home ironing board

This one..

Trumpeter's 1/200 USS Missouri to be released in September I think.
Hopefully I will have a new job by the time it comes out and I can gather some PE for it. But there is no rush..
And yes, I have a large house I suppose. I have my own hobby room and a large home theatre room where I have my display cases. I also have a large shed I can store lots of stuff in. I am very lucky in that regard.
Cheers all

Not at all mate. You should be proud to show off your work. In fact I am going to go back to your Arizona build when mine eventually reaches the top of the stash.

The reports warn of movements in Scapa Flow and state of alert in the force "H" ...... Now I deal for that?

Hi Daniel, I am completely relaxed after a fantastic holiday in Lisboa, Cascais, Belem and Sintra.
In Belem they have a fantastic Naval museum:




In Lisboa I found a magnificent restored frigate from around 1850:




I evidently don't qualify for an ancient King Tiger for a review here so I bought the latest Academy KönigsTiger model with Cartigraf decals which is very nice. I also treated myself to the new Revell 1/32 Bf 109 G, ( Lifecolour paints have been ordered from the UK, I wanted the "violet grau and Violet braun" shades ). Work on the Big B is proceeding nicely, photos to follow this week.

I have eaten too much good Portuguese food and in Sintra I found an excellent wine-bar with a great selection of magnificent Portiguese wines,( thank you so very much Vasco ) so at the moment I am doing double time on my treadmill to lose some weight.

How are things in Uruguay and when do we start the Channel Adversaries thread my friend?

cheers,
Julian



P.s. I am still considering buying the 1/200 Hornet. I will pass on the rather box-like MIghty Mo.

Nice pics Julian, myself just returned from a roundtrip in southern germany - Stuttgart, Allgäu and Munich I suffer from too much traditional german food, beer and white wines...

Friday I get my Eduard etch for the Bismarck - I will dedicate most of the upcoming weekend to my build.

Personally I will take a pass on the Hornet and the Mo, but the hornet is very tempting, although I fear I will be suffering from Post-Bismarck-build-stress so the hornet would just end up sitting in its box in the basement.

Cheers folks.

Hi Jan,
Hope you had some really good Rieslings and Gewurtztraminers, really beautiful wines. The Graue Burgunder is also very interesting
Nice to hear you will be back on-line with your build soon.

The holiday in Lisbon was not part of "a cunning plan" Daniel I will post some more photos of the frigate when I have everything back under control, I have been running around like blue a***d fly this last week at work and at home
Let's mark September 1st as the kick-off date for our combined "Channel adversaries" blog. I am looking forward to doing this build and will be getting my Vosper out of the stash this weekend.
Cheers Daniel,
