Landlubber MikeLooking really great Christian! I have the same kit and detail set in the stash, and will be using your build as inspiration - no pressure! Thanks for looking in on my builds. Always good to see other 1/700 builds.

Christian AbrahamThanks Mike.
I added pics of the bumpers. They are self printed parts

Landlubber MikeNice job on the bumpers. The Irako is coming along really nicely too. I like your idea of a convoy. I might try to batch a bunch of my 1/700 kits together similarly.
For your hull plating, do you scribe the plate lines? I've been running alternating rows of tape and then using Mr. Surfacer 500 on the untaped section to create the rows of plates. I haven't in the past but was thinking of then scribing the vertical lines for each plate. I like how yours look - very natural and subtle.

Christian AbrahamThanks Mike.
The panel lines were on the hull.
But on kits we're they are missing I make it so as said with tape and Mr Surfacer
