Duke I like to get my monies worth out of a blog.
The ship is finished, the rigging is as far as I can go with my limited hand, not great but, it will have to do.
Just trying to do the little plaque that came with the kit. Just spayed it Satin black then I'm going to try to use my chrome pens to pick out the lettering
Wish me luck, if it's not done tonight I'll finish it tomorrow, photos to follow

Gorgeous rendition of the IJN Yamato, Robbo! That's a fantastic build to have in your collection.

Many thanks
Still not happy with the those oil marks look as you can't see anything there with the naked eye

Right I just got a box to keep it in, near on made to measure. As I lowered the ship into it I heard something snap, It is only the little pole that holds all the rigging to the front end in place. If I can't hold it while it dries after gluing I'm going to have to do all the rigging again to the front end. Not happy

OK the fix was easy and the box looks like it was made to measure

Thanks Joe
I took the big Yam to the club tonight and it got a fair bit of praise. One member thought it had a wooden deck

Beautiful, Robbo! I would have been sweating bullets trying to place the model in the transport box.😂
