    Whoah...this'll be even longer than the planning and execution of the battle itself. Pulling up one of those devans that I can lie on and be comfy for this, Greg.

    Cheers,
    Richard

      Hi Greg
      A big expensive project. I'm in for the long haul. Damage is hard to model convincingly so I'm sure to pick up tips and ideas :thumb2:

              Dear all here is today's update on the diorama Battle of Coral Sea. The hull of the ship needs a lot of attention the panels are not "in scale" so l changed them. All the portholes will be drilled again. Note the waterline... Enjoy and have a nice evening.

                    Looking good Greg. The adjustments are worth the effort.

                        Indeed Tim & Jim It's really necessary on this kit...and plus to give the "thin can" look the panel must change... more pics to come....the hull will take a lot of time...since also all the degaussing cables will be fitted... l know l know l'm crazy..aren't we all :smiling5: :smiling5: :smiling6: :smiling6:
