started her last week.. so far the basic hull work , but i spent a few hours on one of the funnels with the PE parts today. i needed a break from the 1/350... this is a little easier on the eyes

been plugging away... some of the sub assemblies are starting to come together.. i was able to test fit some of the modules.. its nice when you can see the ship starting to take form. working on the AA guns now.. ive put 3 hours just into the first one already. sometimes i question the "part count" of some of the PE steps. ive subbed kit parts in places as the detail plastic parts in this kit are high quality.

Looking great!!!!

so looking to solicit opinions here... im on the fence as to use panel highlighter on the hull plates. there is a good detail on the hull , but the vessel has a clean look to it. however i used it on the superstructure to bring out details , so maybe a light application to even it out?

Wow, I'm just now watching the wash dry on my 1/200 IOWA hull.
Still deciding if I like it or not.....

I used a brown wash from Mig, I also have the Tamiya black panel liner, but I thought that might be too much.....?
I like how your modeling is coming along.

yes its tough once you start going down that road. i used the tamiya dark grey on the upper works details , black inside the vent grating. i have the "grey" panel liner as well.. i might try that first. as for your hull , maybe run some wash thinner over it and see if it relaxes a bit...
