Nearing the end here! just have to add the PE railing, crane and catapolts. Please have a look and let me know, good or bad what you think. This project has been going off and on for a year now! I got the Armor bug to. LOL!
Cheers,
Garry oops! pic's in my gallery!

I am not an expert Garry, but i've found it wonderful. Also the other ships at your gallery.
Beside "Yamato" is my favourite ship after "Bismarck".
Great job. I'd like to see more pictures of her in the future

What can I say except..... WOW what a monster.. Looks great and only going to get better with the PE.
One question I have though is are you going to put a wash, paint or highlight the anchor chains before the huge PE task ahead of you??
Looking great and can't wait to see her dressed up in all her metal bits...

i have another question for you as well Garry,,, I assume that the deck came in multiple sections since the ship is so large...how did you go about the gap filling process on the deck? I am dreading this task on my Bismarck...lots of patients and re-scribing deck lines I think...

Hello Paul, Thanks for the comments! My plans are to remove the molded on anchore chain and replacing it with painted brass chain. This is what I do on the larger scale kits. onthe 1/700's I just paint the chain. Thats one good thing about the Heller 1/400 kits, they come with real anchor chain and a smooth bow deck.
Cheers,
Garry
