    I got this running in the A.R.C.C. thread but I should have put it here as well. Pics will be here soon. So far the hull is about 98% painted. Just need to add WL to the hull. Deck nearly completly scribed with planks( using a sharpie marker here. Works great. )The battery mounts are sealed and resin in the hull. Superstructure rigging repainted and the black areas of the camo on the superstructure have been repainted.I am using Tamiya Deck color which is turning out great. The drawn planks I sprayed clear coat to seal it in. The Turret tops and secondaries this time are painted dark grey and not the red I had used previously. The banner surrounding the white circle on the forcastle and stern are painted red.
    It's looking new again...yippee. :p

    Hmmm Time work and a divorce... Oh yeah I remember a time like that. I managed to get over it but squeezing in the Yamato build.
    Hang in there and take it from me..there is light at the end of the tunnel.

    Nothing a little cleaning won't fix.
