Hi Warren!
It has been a long time since you were last here! Great to see you back & with progress on the Fuso! 
You have been out of the loop haven't you? Photo bucket have changed their rules & no longer allow 3rd party hosting of images unless of course you pay an exorbitant fee!!!
It's caused mayhem for anyone with all their images on Photobucket!!!
Hi Russell.
Yes I have been out of the loop but PB can jam their fees up their butts as there are many free places out there who will do the job. I don't make money out of these posts so why should PB expect money from me to host photos?
Anyway, some more up to date photos for you all..
Let's see if that works.
Cheers
Warren
You may be right, I may be crazy.

Yep. They can go take a long walk off a very short pier.

Thanks Si.
The Etch has been a bit of a chore as the instructions are not good in any Fujimi sets unfortunately.
Cheers

Thanks Jan.
And now for another update.
It's getting closer and closer to completion..
As you can see not almost there, but it is the small jobs (railings etc) that a;ways take the most time.
Cheers
Warren

As Russ says, excellent progress!!
No doubt, Warren, commissioning is nearing, and Fuso is looking great! Amazing amount of detail!! - and I do know what you mean with all those small parts slowing you down, for sure!

Very tidy and clean build Warren!
Congrats on another commissioning!
No rigging?
I see also some ladders etc left natural brass-presuming this was intentional?
Looking forward to seeing Hikawa Maru sans ph%&*bucket!
Stay home and build models!
