Hi All!
I haven't send new posts for a long time, but I'm still a live.

At this time, I have difficulty to build a lot of plastic models for being busy.

On this month, one of my friend will retire his job, I decided to send him a ship model.

This is only a small model, but I hope his happiness in the next new life. A ship model is a symbol of departure for new life in Japan.

Best regards,
Yutaro

BigGrin Hi Yutaro

Top work as always from you and your excellent smoke effects.

Your friend will be very pleased I think as he sails off into retirement.

Best Regards

Hi Andy,Chris and Carl!
Thank you for your comments on my post.

When I sent the model to the friend, he was very pleased with it.

By the way,Andy, did you notice that there are two kinds of smoke from the funnel?

Best Regards,
Yutaro

Yutaro

really nice to see you make on with another very nice looking model.

I agree that if you are working full time trying to get any time for your hobbies is very difficult indeed.

Really like the way you present your ship builds on the sea bases you use - really makes a big difference to how they look.

Hope you get some time to be able to build and share some more of your models with us all very soon
Happy Modelling

Hi Andy and Tony!

I'm sorry to reply so late.

Andy, you are right. I'm very glad that you have watched my model so carefully. Smoke-cooling system in the funnel was not complete so that starbord was exposured to hot and dark smoke. Shields protected 12cm guns and crews against the smoke. Not bullets.

Tony, Thank you for your comments. I also hope to have time enough to build lots models in the near future.

Best Regards,
Yutaro
