Welcome again. Work on the main superstructure contious. This part of the build is so detailed, and several smaller assemblies need to be done. I add some towers, searchlight platforms, ladders, A-A guns platforms, binoculars stations, and ammo boxes. The next step will be to build A-A guns and searchlights, after that I can move to the upper level of the superstructure.

You are welcome. Thank you Mike for your interest and comment. The next step is two A-A guns located on two platforms on the main structure.

Thank you Doug and rifleman for your comments and interest in my build. After finishing all details in the lower part of the superstructure I moved forward to complete the upper level, lots of details in this part as well.

Being on chemotherapy and building a model is not easy, but once again I got myself back to this model. The upper level of the superstructure is in progress, very time consuming part of the superstructure, it will be 20 sets of tiny binoculars in that part of the build and I need to rest my eyes in between just not to get blind :P Binoculars are very tiny. This section of the superstructure just started and it is very detailed it looks like it will take a while to get all done. Cut out all windows, so the admiral's bridge looks more realistic.

The binoculars are tiny, and well done.
I hope the chemotherapy works out well for you.

That superstructure is very impressive, and while undergoing treatment as well, that is amazing. I imagine it will be even more impressive once it is in place on the ship. Well done!
