Basically I'm just going to plant the superstructure of the Shirane onto the hull of the Oyodo.

Oyodo's guns will be retained and it will be a landing support ship, providing gun fire and ah-1 cobra's to support amphibious operations.

Preliminary test build:

Already see this as working. Concept and combination of parts :)
Is Oyodo longer of the two models ?

Also gonna use this as an opportunity to try PE handrails, they're super fiddly, but I think it'll add a nice finishing touch.

During construction I lost one of the gun barrels, I though it was lost for ever, so i fashioned a replacement:

and just as I put the finishing touches on the model, I found it stuck to some blu tak underneath my brush washing pot!

Love it, love it, love it!!!! 8). Where you get the Phalanx guns, they look really sharp?

Yes those Phalanx look great, 1bs I notice, are they Shapeways by any chance as I have just ordered the 1/700 modern weapons set from there?

Nothing special, they're just from the Pit-Road modern equipment set. Although I did cut off the oversize barrels and replaced them with thin rod.

That's a cracking idea, and I could see it being very viable too. The Cobras would have the option of using their own weapons or acting as spotters for the ship's guns... :)

Terrific job.
Your ships have inspired me to do another ship as well.
Just completed the 1/700 HMS Daring by Dragon.
Like you the pe railing is fiddly, but as you have just shown, it looks ace !
