Amazing work! Man your attention to these details are really going to make this pop! Stunning work man; I'd be too afraid to try something like this. I guess I'm just a big modeling wimp!

Duke, I would never say that or even think of it. I am here to entertain while I have fun being a kid again.
More modifications to the Arizona. Also, I am trying to adapt some photo etch railing for the Memorial.
More to follow.

Adding more detail....
I needed closer to scale bollards, so I made a prototype.
I considered casting them but they are so small and I don't have any experience casting. Therefore, assembly line it is.
How do they look?
Now I need to make chocks.

Excellent work.
Building a kit from your stash is like cutting the head off a Hydra, two more take it’s place.

I'm taking notes since I wanted to do the Arizona as she was a few weeks after the attack and the smoke, not oil, cleared.

I dragged my foot so long that my toes are bleeding 
Not much of an update, but I'm blowing the dust off

Oh wow! It may be a slow project, but the progress so far worth the wait!

This will be fun to watch!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
