Vittorio Veneto tower mast Eibwarrior: You made my Internet day with your postings. I really like seeing the progress you're making on your two BB. You work on the tower mast doesn't look bad compared to photos of the ship in my Battleships of World War Two. By the way, someone...

Tennessee Eibwarrior: I look forward to your progress pictures on the Tennessee (as well as the Vittorio Veneto). The superstructure of the Tennessee looks different from what I imagined it would look like. I'm talking about the thinness of the tower bridge (that I mentioned before)...

Flower class stays You're a better man than I, Gunga Din! The stanchions look very good!

Essex Leszek: Wonderful model! Very pretty ship. The mastwork was impressive.

Retirement Eibwarrior: Yes, I am happily retired. Most importantly, my wife is understanding although she sometimes wants me to entertain her (take her places). Today, my college aged daughter wanted help on her paper, but I was able to have my wife help her instead of me because I was in...

Tennessee Your model is coming along nicely. I really look forward to your posts. How much time have you been spending per day on ships? In my case, sometimes, especially when I am near completion, I will work 8 hours for several days. Usually, though, I just look at it and do something else.

Noaa I admire your determination. Very nice graphics. Wish I had your skills.

Admirable Yaniv: The rubbish can picture was funny. The print color of the model looks great. Is the fit not good? I built the 1:700 Dreadnought & was very impressed with the fit of the parts of that Digital Navy model. Good luck!

Tennessee superstructure Wow! I didn't realize that the superstructure was so narrow. I am really enjoying your progress reports. One of these days, I may try a scratch build if I can obtain decent drawings. In the meantime, I am taking notes. Good work.

Tennessee needs to lose weight Gosh! Something like that would nix the project for me. No technical skills to redraw & recolor. Good luck.

redraw of Tennessee deck Good old can-do attitude. Keep at it.

Vittorio Veneto knuckles Did you have any trouble with the side knuckles? Do you mind telling me how Maly Modelarz engineered these? One of these days I will attempt a Vittorio Veneto (waterline).

New Zealand I did a New Zealand. However, I did not get the hull right, so I will have to revisit the model someday. There is a roundish midsection that I did not depict in my model. I used drawing from the Burt British battleships of WWI book, which did not have hull lines. Good luck...

Scott K: Good job so far. Why so many Edmund Fitzgeralds and how are you going to color it? If I were to make a scratch built model, I think I would just make one model of a particular ship. There are so many models to make and so little time. Are you going to market a kit?

Ambrose lightship Congratulations on a very attractive model. I think it looks great! Didn't see/notice the flaws. You are right about finding flaws after taking pictures. Photos reveal mistakes you don't see most of the time. Correcting with paper is not so hard as it is with plastic...

Cutty Shark model Well done! In only 3 weeks. It looks great! It appears you may be ready for more challenging models (I'll allow you to forge ahead as I'll never be ready, myself). Did you say you reinforce the masts and spars? I think sailing ships made out of paper must be very...

Modified Black Swan scratchbuild Barry: I also would like to complement you on your skill in using computers to scratchbuild and apply camouflage & coloring to your model builds. I can't imagine how you do it! Great work!! Sincerely, G. Shoda

Gakken # 50 Subject volume depicts Yamato before side 6 inch turrets were removed and before aa defenses were augmented. Sorry.

IJN Yamato hull plating references I am not an expert, but I thought most of the info on the Yamato class ships were destroyed. Wouldn't that mean that hull plating drawings would not be available and the conjecture would be all that illustrators could go on? Being in the early stage of old...
