Bsyamato, those are some great outdoor shots,  lending a good dose of realism.  A lovely build that one, congrats!

Anyone see what Master Box has planned for future release? Definitely not military themed:

Oh my gosh, thanks for the head's up there Jack.... they're interesting...... 

Yeah, I've been hoping for some Asian civilian figures but not sure how I'd use those...

I was going to say something, but I better not. 

 

 lol!

Honestly, I'd rather have MB stick with modern military.  If they want to try something different, I't would of been good to see another historical time period.

Another beautiful model Bsyamato! I love the first photo, very dramatic. 

Get you posted soon as I get a chance. 

You can start the Jake now or wait till the next GB if you want. 

Thanks guys :)

Now waiting to unfreeze the jake 

Another great job there! I'll be ready to post them when you get the finished photos taken. 

Peggy finished!

Last night finished with retouches, smoke after exhausts , some silver scratch and matt coat in drybrush in few areas around engine nacelles

Thanks Cliff :)

Basically finished, all pieces glued and some little retouch needed

She's looking really good! As usual you did a great job on the greenhouse canopy.

Correct Cliff :)

More glued pieces:

Gears, nose and engines (not sure about the engines stability.. really tiny contact surfaces..)

You usual nice work there Bsyamato, looking forward to seeing you get the landing gear on and her on her 'feet'.

Bsyamato, 

Your Peggy is looking great! The masking on the front turned out fantasic! Is that 1/48 scale?

 

Thanks Bruce, he's 72 scale , actually my only scale :) nice I-400 there, so much seiran in this GB 

More about the peggy  

in order;

Washing upper surfaces with humbrol 94 about a week ago

That looks pretty darn nice! And yeah seems like there's enough interest that VI is pretty much locked in 

So it's taken me 10 months to do anything on this plane.  I opened up the box,  didn't realize I had a resin cockpit kit for it.  Woo hoo!  hopefully there will be a Japanese VI

I totally stink at CV's. The Atago and Japanese DD's are my ride of choice.

Hey guys, that's cool about the WoWs game, been playing that for a while.  One of my favourites is the little IJN Hosho carrier, but sunk my teeth into the game playing a lot on the CL Tenryu.

I played World of Tanks for a year or so and looked at this one a few times

My fingers aren’t fast enough for WoT. I would be seal clubbed all over the place. I stood a chance in WoWs, now I'm pretty good at it and do the clubbing myself on occasion.

Newbies gotta learn somehow. Hey, destroyers launch torpedoes!

Cool Steve, I played World of Tanks for a year or so and looked at this one a few times but I've got piles of games on Steam and Gog, last thing I need is to get into another. 

But yes it is cool and very touching. 

Thanks Gam,

I saw that the other day (my other hobby is WoWs much to the shgrin of my wife). It's very touching.

Here's a link to a short video on the World of Warships game site I thought was pretty darn cool...

Bsyamato: She is looking great! I am with Bruce, that canopy framing looks perfect!

Bruce: Looks like a nice kit there. I'd heard how big these subs were but compared with the Gato and U-Boat there- wow!

Gentleman,

I've opened the I-400, looks like a nice kit. I will build this OOB, it already comes with some PE. And the kit come with 6 Seiran aircraft! Here are some pictures of the goodies:

And the Seiran's:

And for kicks, a size comparison with a 1/350 1943 Gato class, and a IX-C U-boat:

It's a big sub! I haven't pulled a LA class sub out yet, but, I would guess this I-400 has about 50 feet on the modern LA class. 

This is all I have for tonight. Thanks for looking!

Bsyamato, 

Your Peggy is looking great! The masking on the front turned out fantasic! Is that 1/48 scale?

Get back with Peggy :

glossy layers 

Thanks Cliff!

I believe me, I know how you feel. I started several GB earlier this year, and now getting that feeling I have to rush to get them done. But, I'm going to pace myself, and get them completed. Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting started on the I-400. And I'll look forward to the Japanese VI GB next year!
