Amazing research and detail!

I wasn't able to go to the memorial when I went to Pearl Harbor a few years back, but I was able to see it from the deck of the Missouri.

I needed to make larger bollards for the Arizona.  I had planned to cast duplicates from a scratch built bollard, but I decided to just build them assemble line style.

Now I just need to glue them together.

I started working the Arizona again,

Cut the base to fit the model and did a rough water depth, also I modified some PVC fittings to add detail to the turret 'holes'

The Arizona looks very different with some black primer on her, I still have to work on the forward decks

I have not given up on this build, however, I have added a new wrinkle.

I have decided to build this diorama as a 'Before the Attack' and 'The Arizona Today' diorama!

So, my wife gave me the green light to buy another Revell kit.

I will need to scratch build the Vestal from plans and this photo of 1/350 resin kit

as you are doing the pre-attacked & the memorial versions, why not do the attacked version before all masts, stack & deck clutter was removed? if you want to go a bit wild at it but not like me with my OBB/s, why not do all the various versions since she was built?
