The turrets look real good Tom!

Man, ship builds are so tempting! But I really have to wait until to retirement to find the time. Or I'm so into it that I'm ok with working on one model for eight years.
Looking nice and clean so far!

Well crap! Can't find the main master tower. I know I assembled it but can't find it. 
Got the 2 decks and mast poles in the box.
I did a big clean out on my bench cubby holes. No dice there..

Last night, i found the main mast part. Looks like one night - Lord knows what night it was; the damn cat must've jumped on bench and found a "new toy" to play with.
I've looked everywhere in my cellar for the command deck that goes with it. As of now, the Arizona is officially placed in the Shelf of Doom.

Sorry to hear about this. There are 3-D printed replacements available that area. When you are ready.

At first I was going to try contacting HobbyBoss for replacement parts. If that doesn't pan out, I may have to find aftermarket ones.

Those are exactly what I'm looking for. Now to find a vendor that has them for a decent price.

Not related to your build, but, I am a man of many hobbies and one of them is coin collecting. You collect half dollars?
Your fellow modeler,

Not really a coin collector per say.
But... I've always wanted to own a Morgan Silver Dollar coin or two.

I have collections of every US denomination, Mexico, Canada and foreign coins, but this forum is about modeling.
Your turrets look Great!
I am kitbashing this Hobby Boss kit into the USS Idaho BB-42
I got some 3D printed parts from Shapeways
I didn't mean to intrude on your build, can't wait to see more!
