trumpeter missouri 1/200 with full pontos


Recommended Posts

no I don't mind simmerit , about $900au all up , but it takes about a year to do it , so under $20 a week for my hobby .

 

thanks guys for those videos , very entertaining .

 

got the turrets mostly done , a few ladders have to be straightened , so I just noticed on the photos .

the barrels did not fit into the blast bags at all well , a lot of sanding was required .

Still a fair bit to do s-boat55 ,the barrels have to be painted and fitted , railing , rigging , planes , plus still a heap of little bits and pieces , l have to find where they go , and make a board for it .

As a fake admiral, I do not know the difference between accommodation ladders and gangways. Indeed, they look quite 'stairy' to my eyes, but when they look that good, you could call them chazwozzas and I'd agree! Esp if Ralph gives his nod of approval.

This just gets better and better. 
Two questions.

1. Where on earth are you going to display this leviathan ?

2. On the real ship, where did they store ALL the ammunition for ALL those guns ?
