Wow epic build too for me !! Watching the work
Here’s the Musashi’s stern in it’s resting place. I still need to add some twisted metal at the break and work a little on the props and rudder.
MC… I love builds like this… cany wait to see it come together!
Yeah, that’s awesome Steve. I love how you’ve got the smooshed up decks in there.
OK. Since I haven’t posted in a while, I’ll do a little catch-up.
Here is the bow with the internal bulkheads.
Here are the bow and stern painted.
The completed bow and stern with the algae green.
I made up the little ROV using some left over PE, looking at the actual ROV and some artistic licence. I will still need to do a little touch up painting.
That should do the trick I think.
I worked on the seafloor today. I sprayed Loctite spray adhesive, then sprinkled some dirt, which was pulverized into dust, onto it. I sprayed it again and repeated the process. Next, I’ll add some debris from the spare parts box, run the wires for the ROV and install the bow and stern. I’ll then sprinkle some silt onto the parts and add some seafife. I think I’ll spray the whole thing with an acrylic gloss to simulate wetness, which should darken the silt.
I’m almost done.
I think that catches us up.

Thanks for cross-posting here Steve. For those who haven’t been following him over on the ships forum this is just a taste of the coolness going on there!
You bet Gam, Sometimes I forget I need to post in both places. I should be finished with it very soon. Thanks for letting me use it as my build for this GB.
Steve,
This current build just blows my mind. I thought the other builds you have done were great, but this one is just something else altogether. WOW!!
Here it is, I’m calling it done.
I’m going with these pictures.
There’s a lot of them so you may want some some popcorn.

Steve, very impressive, amazing! [Y]
I feel like I’m looking at some stills from a National Geographic special - it’s that good!
regards,
Jack
I’m withouth word! so detailed and so few time for build!!
Again Steve, she’s friggin’ fantastic!!!
Dunno which photo to use for the front page though, do you have any preferences?
Hmmm. Either #4 or #16 I think. It’s just such a big dio, it’s tough to get it all in one picture.
Ok, I’ll see about getting you posted before the weekend is out.
Amazing work, Steve. Just a fantastic dio all around. [:D[
MC and G- I lean towards #16 for the front page pic, as it shows both pieces off really well. Just awesome work and effort.
Excellent work Steve! Just stunning!!! You most certainly have a winner at the next model show! Please keep us advised on that .
Doug
You got it Doug.
Okey dokey finally caught up with you guys!! LOL No I haven’t dropped off the edge of the earth 
Cant commit to any builds atm but will start watching and getting that inspiration back! Builds are looking awesome!
Steve: Just posted your IJN Mushashi to the front page. I went with your and Goldhammer’s suggestion of #16. As usual if you would like it changed just lemme know.
Hey Simpilot, good to see you again. Hope things are well.
I’m going though my stash, I may have something else to toss in before the end of the year.
