Thanks Floki.
Now I wonder which kit(s) they are going to send me. I like I have the time

I spent an hour or so cutting the rest of the trees from the bags and labeling them with tape. I didn't count but there are easily 20 sprue trees, some multiple duplicates. The labeling will help me keep them separated rather than spend 10 minuets looking for one tree, and I can move them so something smaller that that huge box that takes up half my building area. I already have the NC and POW on the ways using up shipyard space.
I am also in the process of securing some laser cut card stock gussets and various other items (splinter drapes and gussets around and under the gun tubs) from a young fellow in South Korea. he makes them himself and the finished product, as well as his own skills, are amazing.



I ordered and received a prop blur PE set yesterday. There should be enough for the Zeeks and Kates on the flight deck as the Val props will work for the Kates as well. The scene will be the pilots around the island for the briefing as the crews are readying the planes. Nice shot of island and the signal flags and they way they stand proud in the wind.

You are building three big ones at once?! North Carolina, Prince of Wales, and Akagi??!!! You are a madman!!!
I do hope that you have shelf space for such beasts!

Not really, I'll have to come up with something.

Well I don think that you can hang them from the ceiling...

Why not? Make a frame with plastic wrap, add little fishies, mines, subs, etc, and pretend that you are under

Don't tempt me Kyle. I just love 1/350 scale but it like 1/32, there's just no room for them. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to by a bigger house. We do have a guest room for the kids that I might be able to do something with.

Or a barn...

I am in envy of a family friend who has a barn he uses for his sculpting metal form of art and what not. It's huge with unlimited space to display kits galore. Almost too big. LOL!!!

A barn.... oh you could do large scale wargaming with full terrain and structure features in a barn...

Why stop there? Surely there is an empty big box store nearby?!
