Space Battleship Missouri, or at least, my rendition of it

Thanks Willy, I'm digging through my emense parts box looking for the next thingy to stick on.  Having a blast.

He's looking great Steve! I'm following along, enjoying watching you, enjoy building this sucker. It's going to be so punk when yer finished, great stuff!

Getting back to the Mo now that the other builds are wrapping up. I sanded, added more filler, repeat, repeat, repeat. Finally thought I had it good enough to paint it black to see where I was and what needed attention.

Not as bad as I thought, just a little more to go. Once this is done I'm just going to attach the other engine nozzel to the lower section, then on to the superstructure.

Thank you arbit. I'm finishing up a couple of ships before getting back on this. It should'nt be too much longer.

I did some sanding and more filling.

Got very little done to the Mo. I added some sheet sprue for the nozzel farring and some putty. I need to do a lot of sanding to streighten and smooth.

LOL you like it TB?

Worked some on the engine attachment to the nozzel.  Some cuting, styrine sheet, glue......sanding, filling.....pict to follow when I'm complete.

OY!!!!!!

Heh heh, no, I just meant if that's what you were going to call it.  Remember?  That was the main armament of the Argo/Yamato.  For practical purposes, it was just big hole in the bow, with a ribbed detail from the outer edge of the opening, running back into the aperture.

Baron, it'll have whatever I can dig out of the parts box

That's kinda the point, I'm just having fun. 

 

And that is probably the most important thing of all.

That's kinda the point, I'm just having fun. 

Remember, think over what you want to accomplish with the idea and kit, make it look reasonable and not cartoonish.  I think I may have done this with my Interdiiction ship,  too many weapons.    

Loving it! Great work!

I may get a crappy cruiser model some where and try that. I have all kinds of ideas for the carrier.

If you want a few ideas for possible projects in this line or just things to do with your current build, scroll down and you will find my ships, a space assault ship, a fire support ship, and a interdiction ship, similar to a destroyer.

These were based on the IJN Yamato, Bismark, and a German destroyer, respectively.  I'm thinking of making the British batleship a twin engine.

Thanks ikar, I was thinking about modifying the air group that comes with the kit as well.

Interesting design, desugn udeas can be addicting.  It's not quite the way I would have changed her but I like it.  I was thinking of adding a Iowa class to my Starblazer fleet but I had a request for a WWII Big Mo build.  I guess the British battleship will be my next victim.

As long as you are thinking of a carrier, what about support ships for yhour fleet?  Cruisers, destroyers and even cargo ships coiuld be done as lond as they are in roughly the same scale,  They don't have to be exactly the same.If you get bold, or crazy, you couild take a coiuple of hte aircraft from the carrier kit and modify them into space fighters.  Something ot think about.
