Cheers Ian yes there back hope I can still build them and of course add something to them.

Haha - more toon madness. Managed to catch this one at the start for a change

Very reminiscent of the Matchbox kits of old with all that multicolour plastic

Hi yes more toon madness just what is needed at trying times I see what I can do, your right they do remind you of Matchbox kit.

A bit of background to this build, it's set in second would war on the little know Island on Toonwaii it's north, straight up and a bit to the left about 200 miles from it's big brother Hawaii. The UUS Missouri in the deep water port Toonsville Harbour for restocking but while waiting the Japanese have launched a sneak air attack on the ships in port with fighters and torpedo planes.

Very rough mock-up

Nice idea Pete. Can’t help thinking that Toonwaii sounds a bit geordie though....

Hi Tim funny thing is it's twinned with Newcastle upon Tyne you just wouldn't believe it would you.

Nope, you just couldn’t make it up....it’s even pronounced “Toon, Why Aye”

Cracking work Pete, and a great idea

I don't suppose the Minions will jump into the fray and help defend the harbor from the evil imperial Japanese attackers....Have they even returned from their "romp" on that other Pacific Island not far away? Keep it coming Pete! Rick H.

Got a bit done today almost finished the "Mighty Mo" just the 10x5" gun to make the 9" and all the anti-aircraft gun are only a dry fit as with the lower hull and main superstructure.

Hi small update, drilled out all the gun barrels of the 10" gun using my new drill brilliant by the way and a 0.35 drill bit.
I now can appreciate what Jim had to do on his one when he built his :thumb2: .
Before and after drilling.

"Mighty Mo" is finished apart from paint, you may have noticed I've left of the props that is because it will be below sea level.
Now off to build some B5N2 or Kate's and A6M's
Thank you for looking in.

Hi Pete
Looking good. Nice job on the gun barrels. Not easy to drill centrally. Looing forward to the paint.
