Popular Post Sparthy Posted February 28 Popular Post Share Posted February 28 (edited) After 1 year of absence, i finally return. This time i want to recreate the Preparing phase before the launch in the Aircraft carrier Kaga. it took me quite a while to gather material and also research, in the end i think i did a decent job recreating the scene. Thanks for watching and cheers from Vietnam Edited February 28 by Sparthy change front 87 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for presentation. What extra parts did you use? Regards, Michal Thanks for your comment, i was use the fujimi own PE update, the aircraft is a little bit more tricky cause i use both the combination of Fujimi and Hasegawa planes, the PE update for the aircraft is from Rainbow. The crew is from a lot of resin sailor i buy long ago and the mechanicals are from a local resin shop in china called Grapefruit model Edited February 28 by Sparthy fix error 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Gidday Sparthy, what a superb model. 👍 She was a great ship I think, and with all those aircraft and handlers on deck it looks like she means business. Extremely well done. Regards, Jeff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iang Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 That is a really impressive model. Congratulations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micha_Pol Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Beautiful work. I love the little airctraft and all the small scenes with the deck crew. The ship itself is a bit too worn/dirty for my taste but that is an artistic choice that I respect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thom216 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) Very impressive! Just love the lines of those converted carriers. Would hope mine would turn out half as good. Edited March 2 by Thom216 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRMRL Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Great work, you've done a really great job building and weathering and really set the scene with all the little details. Chipping all those tiny planes must have taken some patience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autle Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Utterly stunning on every level. I love IJN ships and your model really shows off the busy feel of the Kaga as she would have been at Midway. So much to look at and enjoy, I can't see anyone topping this. Well done and thanks for posting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilneBay Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Excellent model. The Japanese carriers fascinate me as they seem to be more a work in progress than a finished design. Especially the quite tiny and cramped bridge area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tojo72 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Love it,love the Japanese Carriers love all the details. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toryu Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 What a superb model! The detail is incredible - many little stories to watch. There are good carrier models once in a while with aircraft spotted, but never do they have any personnel aboard. You created a wonderful busy miniature world. How long did it take? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-boat 55 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Breathtakingly Impressive, cant compliment it enough, I've been looking at kaga a lot recently as a future build subject. She is a very complicated ship, it's impressive how you've mastered to build sequence so well to them create the effect you've created, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mycapt65 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) UNFRIGGIN BELIEVABLE! Holy Schmoly! I'm floored at your artistry. Absolutely gorgeous. Belongs in a museum. Heck they should build a museum around it. Edited March 4 by Mycapt65 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I think that's very good. The detail work is inspiring. I like the figures and the weathering, both of which 'bring the ship to life' by providing scale and some indication of the passage of time. Many may think the weathering overdone but I have recently seen video footage of ships in the 1940s that convinces me otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
