PE is not my favorite. For me, It is hard to work with.

Got some very tedious work done, was up all night, until 5am. To excited with this build to go to sleep lol.

Thank you. It's going faster than I hoped, however, now I'm at the slow part, all of the little pieces.

Did a test-run for the color used on the Texas during the Pacific Theater, and I like it. Now I only have 57 more guns to make not counting the 10 big guns.

I do not want to get into anything remotely political, but as a long time fan of this ship and a contributor to her restoration, this news story (related to today and BB-35) really pisses me off!

I read about this the other day. If I were a restaurant owner I would welcome the ship as it could increase foot traffic.
However, I understand wanting to have the Harbor view instead of the grey girl.
But, from a business point of view... increase the foot traffic for more revenue.

I put the initial coat down, also to see if I like the Pacific Theater color. I like it. The last time I was aboard the Texas she had this color on.i still have a lot more to do, especially the aft deck.
I don't know if I'll do any weathering or keep it as a museum piece. Kind of leaning to no weathering, but then again if I do it would be subtle.

Looking good

I never seen an officer that looked like that when I was serving.

Sweet. PM

Plugging away. The smaller guns are very tedious.

So far this has been a really good kit. There isn't any flash, and the parts fit without any issues. Of the PE parts, the baskets are a little difficult to bend in a half curve.
Other than a couple of things theis is a fun kit, and something to take my time and enjoy.

"taking your time and enjoy"

That is great advice well beyond building models.
