Having fun is the most important part so good to hear!! Any updates/photos yet? How'd the trip to the hardware store go? Find any interesting parts?
Had "scope creep" doing hull mods for better maneuverability in narrow areas of archipelago waters. Time consuming !
Topside layout and weapons partly figured out. Some cutting-fitting done. Four 76mm guns have turned out to be a good replacement for Arizona's four 14" turrets.
Cutting flat stock to build 2nd deck. Raiding other models and flat stock to build the bridge. Using some of 1/200 ETV Waker parts.
Converting topside from 1/426 to 1/72 is involved. Some original parts are serving as 1/72 in their own way.
Just so happens a Hobby Lobby store opens in town 3/22. Never been in one. Look forward to seeing what it offers.
Not done the hardware store browse - is on list if needed.
Now at seven kits and three scales.
Will take/post pictures of what there is to show.
