Have you ordered Infini Slim Wooden Decks, yet? Every time I see your detail work I get chills! Have you built a Star Destroyer... that would seem to be a natural fit for your talents. Every time I visit here I learn something new and good. Thanks so much.

I don't have the Infini deck, I'm don't know off the top of my head whose it is.
I have built a star destroyer but it was a long time a got and an AMT kit I believe.

Thanks and no worries. I was checking out the website, and saw their wooden decks as well! The MPC Star Destroyer is a wonderful kit!!! All the best.

After completing the paper framework, at least as far as I can go now, I started back on the hull. I decided to scratch this....bracing? Or whatever it's supposed to be. I didn't like the oversized piece provided in the kit. In fact, the pieces I installed are oversized compared to the picture provided in the "Kagaro Super Drawings in 3D" book, but WTH.

looking good!

Obviously the sun deck for the Brig!

looks way better and more in scale.

Thanks gents.
Looking at the photo of the 3D book, it looks like I need a few braces for the platforms. maybe using a smaller gauge.

OK guys, I completed this section, at least until I get the IJN ladders from B&A in Australia and attach the deck, but I'm moving on. The black paint under the 25mm AA gun platform is where I'm checking if I need to add some filler. I also need to add the railing before I spray the black base.

I added some detail interest to the area under the deck but can't find any pictures of it to really know what was in there. Probably no one will see them anyway. This is the area where the three AM (Alliance Model Works) 1.2cm twin AA guns go. I glued the bracing on the AA platforms and set them aside to dry before attaching them to the hull. This area is going to need to be repainted.
