Nanond Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 My last finish is this 1/700 IJN Shimakaze from Tamiya. Good kit, it's been fun making her. A pre-painting shot first. Nanond N. 48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael louey Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Very nice build Nanond. Your before and after picture poses the question - how did you do such a neat paint job on the deck with everything pre built? Cheers Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your before and after picture poses the question - how did you do such a neat paint job on the deck with everything pre built? Cheers Michael Thank you Michael. I hand-painted the deck with a small brush using Vallejo model color. The paint covers the surface very well and dries to give a smooth surface. That was much easier than masking the deck.

Badder Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Hi Nanond, Nice to see a surface ship in this forum! And an excellent one it is too. Beautifully built and painted. Better than many twice this scale. Rearguards, Badder. (Popping over momentarily from the Dark Side) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell us how long the finished model is? inspiring!! Thank you! This is new Tamiya kit and it did not take me a long time to build. I think it took about 10 hours for building and detailing. However, that does not include another 10 hours I spent attaching handrail on the torpedo and gun turrets. Those were a real pain. Painting was quick. I finished in 2 weekends, 3-4 hours of working time per day. Nanond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
