Enjoy Steve''s work

Very interestingly. I never realized how much difference there was between the early and late superstructures. I envy Steve his display room, I wouldn't have room for one, let alone two 1/350 Yamatos.

Nice article.

I hope everyone enjoys reading the article and seeing the pictures. The only comment I'll make is.....if a bumble fingers like me can do it any of you can do it too and probably even better. But ain't she one gorgeous ship like that. So sleek....she almost looks like a yacht to me. Oh thanks Kenny for providing me with the kit. I guess this sort of qualifies as my Leyte Gulf participation even though she was later modified.
