Thank you guys.
@barry
Inspired by your Tarawa's rust I applied rust on my ship but only hull sides. I have poor imagination how the rust like on the structure on deck. I am looking forward to seeing your rust on those section.
@Rick
Its my great happiness that you talented modeler give me such a compliment. After going through your thread I finally found out the most important tips are careful work and patience. Since then I have been making each parts carefully and feel my skill became a little bit better.... I hope so.
@Terry
Those MIG like objects are not depth charge but "paravane" kind of naval mine countermeasure. Usually paravanes are put on stern but those days it was not unusual to put them on bow. I made failure in assembling paravane. After taking a look at my picture one Japanese modeler pointed out that the wing on paravane was not put on upper side but lower side. I removed all and this week I am going to make them over putting wing on correct position.
@Gharbad
Here is original picture. You can see neighber's TV antenna, part of roof and my thumb.
On balcony I reached out my hand to the sky holding the model and took picture. Unlike the US, in Japan, houses are built so tightly that neighber's people looked what I was doing on the balcony. It's embarrassing:o
It seems model look better under natural light. I recommend you to take picture outside if you have courage to expose yourself taking toy picture:D

That's great :D

I'm not embarassed; I took pictures of a stuffed animal I made.
Anyone like StarCraft?

And yeah, natural light looks much better. Indoors is far too dark to get good colours.

I love StarCraft

Great job on the Reaver

Thanks. I didn't really expect many fans here, but it was worth a shot :D
It only worked out because of card models experience... it's really the same thing, but easier. Fabric doesn't crease!

I like all sorts of stuff.
I've got models of every kind except architecture.
I made the Reaver because I like stuffed things.

This week its vacation and I have been making paper model.
I have made some progress.
made crane for airplanes and boats, rigging on rear mast, small parts on deck of both bow and stern and railings on bow deck.

Very cool photo, Yu! Awesome build - crane came out great! This build just continues to amaze me! Keep it up!

Really superb detailing Yu! I envy your skill with the little parts.
