Guest PetrolGator Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Minus the base stain, it's done. I'll likely get back to work on Montana and start messing with something else. Kit used: Fujimi 1/700 AmagiAftermarket: - Fujimi's PE set- Artwox wood deck- Flyhawk IJN hatches- Canopy Brackets (do not recall manufacturer) - Eduard IJN figures- Various PEMain mast was scratchbuilt and I used various PE supports to add some more fluff to the pagoda and other platforms. I stained the deck a bit and painted the ship with Tamiya's Sasebo Grey, Flat Black, and Linoleum Deck Brown. Weathering was done with oils and mild drybrushing. Rigging is stretched sprue. The wireless antennae was sourced from GMM's ultra thin IJN tailing. The Japanese, thankfully, used flat railing-looking set ups.Amagi was a fun build. I put a little more into her than I thought I'd go into, planing to use her as a somewhat stress free build. At any rate, pictures. Criticism always welcome.

mustang1989 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 First off this an amazing build. I don't think I'll ever attempt one of these but I sure enjoy lookin' at 'em!! Secondly, how big.....er....small is this thing? Any pics with references to scale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PetrolGator Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 A turret is about the size of a penny, roughly, maybe smaller. The entire ship is +- 12" long. Thanks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 That in itself is mind blowing for me. I never knew until I saw it for myself in person a couple of weeks ago that one could throw the amount of detail at these small ships the way you've done here. I could look at this stuff all day long and swear I can see something new every time I look back at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Wow, just saw this. Another amazing masterpiece! Chris, you are one spectacular ship modeler! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PetrolGator Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Thanks man. I was hoping it would beat out some other ships I entered in the Pcola show, but a crooked platform prevented that. Still, I love this ship for its sheer oddity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildBill50 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Stellar job once again. Your bases really set off the builds. I need to try putting a boat in the water. Good stuff. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PetrolGator Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Thanks, Bill. IMO, a ship out of water looks weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Bell Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Chris, What's your source for the Artwox products? I find that most are hit and miss as to who has what, if they have them at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PetrolGator Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 I go to FreeTime almost exclusively. If I can't find a product, I'll check Amazon or eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
