What's wrong with 1/700 photoetch props? They're pretty big compared to the 1/700 photoetch people Big Smile :

That's just beautiful work there! I need to go back now and reread the whole thread from the beginning. Thanks for letting us tag along!

And of course you're more than welcome to crosspost the Yamato on the GB and on a separate thread here for those who don't want to follow your build though all the GB posts too!

Your comments are greatly appreciated Gentlemen. I don't know how effective the Camo Scheme was as it was suppose to give the impression of being another Vessel.....Cheers mark

I've never noticed this before but that carrier is in a skidding right turn (way out of trim). Kinda cool looking.

Yeah, that's how they do it. It was a strange thing to experience it for the first time when I was a helmsman on the Ranger, to see the bow turn at a different rate than the compass heading. After that, I just kept my head down and watched the compass until the new heading was reached.
