Lifeline Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 11 minutes ago, spejic said: For the dock, you can create the mooring hooks by sliding a standard razor saw flat along the top of the dock and cutting into those bumps provided by Tamiya. There is a lot of variability in the color of the hooks, the color and size of the curbs on the edge, and whether there are built-in bumpers along the edge or you need to use those fenders provided by the kit. If you want pictures, I can post them. Thanks @spejic... What hooks are you referring to? My current plan is to use a white thread as mooring lines and attach it to the mooring point on the provided dock... And use the provided fenders for the bumpers.

spejic Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) I mean you can create this mooring hook: by sawing into those bumps to create an undercut like this: It takes a little care, but it isn't difficult and it makes it look much nicer.

Lifeline Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 I just got back from my workplace, and since the JS Shimokita had her microscopic parts on, I can't bring her on board my work site. But, I was able to spare some time on her and install all the vehicles and PE's. And after several hours, she's done. I also added several PE Figures. As planned I'm going to make a small diorama depicting the ship almost finished loading the vehicle. So, I'll go ahead and try to find what method I should use to make a typical calm water in the dock area.. Cheers, Mario 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
