Hello JohnMGD,

Your work is just fantastic! Something to strive for. Approx. how long did it take to complete HIJMS Nagato? The little Sailors that I see, did you make them also?

Respectfully,
Dennis

Dennis,

Building time was about 1 year, the little sailors were also made by me.

Your great photos give me a chance to reveal my ignorance of Japanese naval architecture: what was the purpose of the railing-like devices around the funnels? They seem to be most common on Japanese and Italian warships, although they occasionally appear on the funnels of other ships.

Hi Don,

Look at this picture, here you can see how and why they uses the foot stays around the funnel, here on a German warship.

Cannot see that operation passing muster today!

Did the axis forces repaint their ships more often than the allies or change colours more frequently?

I have seen your work at the other site and as always you build museum quality ships. I have a copy of this vessel and did pay a premium for it. I also ordered a set of turned barrels from JBModels.eu. I tried to order the laser cut frame work from GPM, but so far every time I have tried to order, it will stop and then I am not allowed to go any further. But would still like to get hold of the frame set for the Nagato. I will I am sure, refer to you photos for help. I so wished you had of posted a build thread for this vessel, maybe the next build you will post so we can follow your skilled hands in the assembly of another master piece.:DRick

John this is just fabulous work. I've long admired your skill and the Nagato is a great example of your capabilities.

I hope you'll consider posting your next effort as a build thread. I'd love to see some of your techniques in progress.
