Your pictures are fine, all things considered. The subject is well lit and well defined in the area that you’re trying to show most, and the background clutter does not detract from the area of interest.

On a side note, I never realized that tha flight deck was somewhat offset to port, as it shows here. Interesting...

Thanks stick. Yeah, I was surprised as well, quite a bit of an offset. I'm sure to balance it laterally.

Awesome work!

Thanks again guys. Here are the completed aft bracing wires. I started on the other areas as well last night.

Wow! That area is so intricately detailed!

Damn.... incredible work.

Thanks guys. I'm planning on showing it as a vignette. So hopefully it will be technically accurate as well as historically.

I spent a lot of time on the Akagi this weekend, mostly on the stern area. All of the bracing wire, platforms, railing and most of the long ladders are attached. I cleaned up other areas and repaired others. I have the casemate guns to attach then on to the deck I think. After the deck and island there is still much more to do to the hull such as the side boats, folding antennas and sundry other things that stick out as well as ropes and such draped here and there.

I ordered Infani's IJN ladder B set which have those long 20 meter ladders that stretch well over the water and ascend to the tubs on the deck. Not me brother!

That is down right awesome.

She's looking really good!
