The detail on the molding of the kit is wonderful. You’ve bought yourself a real beauty there Lyle!

But you are truly a madman for those 1/700 figures! :wow:

Thanks, Carlos. It is a highly detailed kit, for sure. So far the fit is amazing, too.

As fo the figures? Some ore painted ones are looking pretty good....

Looks like this is going to come out great! I'm excited to see where it goes.

I was wondering when you was going to go completely insane. My guess will be about halfway into this :giggles:

Them figures are crazy, gonna have to see if I can print some 1/350 US Navy sailors for the Indianapolis.

Wow, this looks like fun! That little guy on the foredeck is insane! Maybe you should put another on there afterward like he's sunning himself or something. This is so fun to watch!
