Thanks mike, things with the tourettes aren't too bad right now, except for the fingers in my right hand. Yes thats the Yamato in 1/350th scale, I'll get some more of her done soon.

I now have all my 6" turrets to the wood stage, interesting that 2 of them went together differently to all the rest.

They are the two 5.9s fitted with built in rangefinders so they can go to local control if needed.

Ahh ok, so any idea where they would have been on the ship. Hi Sky The 2 'different' 6" guns go amidships on the main deck facing forwards. They will be supplied with rangfinder blocks down the track. Take a look at the ariel or overhead photo of the real Bissie posted about 3 weeks ago. Gives you an excellent view of where the secondary guns are located Baz

Hi Skyfire, your build is really great. I noticed that you still have to work on smoothing the hull. My prayers are with you in this daunting task ahead. I really envy you and other oaks who find enough time to work on more than one model at a time. Keep up the great work, your are inspiring, to me at least.

For once the entire fleet is in dock together. The flower, (a lotus I think) was given to me, by a very nice chinese lady.

No filler on my 15" guns, but I've used filler on my 6" ones, could probaly put some filler on the 15" ones though.
