Oh Manny Manny... the special water effects technique was not available in  the Eastern front, which explains why you never saw it.

if you REALLY are curious about large scale water effects, look here:

Hey folks!

Just checking back in after the completion of our latest refueling outage and a little down time to regroup.  I just finished off a review kit, so with space available on my bench once again, I am actively working towards completing my I-400 kits in 1/700 and 1/350 scales.  I did quite a bit on the small scale boat last evening, and am hoping to have everything wrapped up in the next few weeks for both.  I will post some photos when I get an opportunity.

Nice job on the Big E Raider.

Im still working on my Regean.  I didnt have the time before but now i do.  still working on the jets and helios too.  and i need some feedback

as for the cranes and "tow car"  which color normally is on them?  the towcar is yellow or orange? and the cranes is yellow?  

second,  how do i set up the jets/heilos and cranes on the deck?  is there any good websites thats show many dfferent  line ups/set ups when they are taking off.  so i can place them correctly   thanks

let me know  thx, once im done with it i will post it up

hey gangs

i research and found what i was looking for and got the idea of what aircraft line up might look like.  so no worries   so im all done now but didnt take picture of it.   need to find my camera then will take picture of it and post it up.  boy hate to glue the aircraft to flight deck cuz it didnt really stick well.   any suggest for the future project   let me know thanks smiles

All right folks, here are the photos of my completed submarine aircraft carrier, the Japanese I-400.  I will fully admit that I have done a horible job keeping up with the Group Build forum as a whole, but between work and cycling season, there just do not seem to be enough hours in the day.  Anyway, take a look, and feel free to provide your feedback.  Thanks for your time and patience.

A couple of interior shots of the hangar bay, as it is invisible once the halves are joined.

very well done Scott.  I am not a nexpert by any means; my only feedback would be maybe to add some weathering/subtle washes to enhance details. But maybe is the pics, as i said, Im not an expert! :)

Hangar bay looks real neat; some nice detailing.
