Hear are a few pic’s of the deck and sum more of the guns will have more of the full deck later At the blunt end in the build photos of the hull near the hanger deck they have just cut it at 45 degrees as in fig 1 but in the book on the Yanato it shows that it is stepped down as in fig2 and the photo they may chang it later. The water proofing is Thompson’s clear water seal later it will be given a few coats of satin varnish

Hi gentle builders of the Yamato more pick’s of my build .covered the barrels so get on to pick’s of the rest of the guns so far they are stuck on to painting board with dubbel sided sticky backed plastic

Have started to put the rails on to the flight deck for this I got sum straighter rod model shop for better fit. I t was then treated with Car’s metal conditioner and Carr’s metal black cut to length and glued in with cryo

All so dune the underside of flight deck not to specks as it has to be removable but wanted to give sum definition and a hint of the rails and brackets

Started to drill scuppers and put on what they are calling the load line. This not a load line but a Degaussing cable and has sum thing to do with magnetic mines? I have not cut the plans sent but stuck low tack tape on to them and traced the scuppers and Degaussing cable on to it then stuck it on to hull hope the pics will make it clear. I have used Tamiay 18mm it sticks firmly to the paper but can still be peeled off. One word of warning use short lengths to long and it will be hard to control

The filler on the bow photo 5 is to fill scuppers as they did no look wright in fact a complet mess

jinks8 · « **Reply #36 on:** October 30, 2010, 09:27:31 pm »

hi it has bin kindle brought to my attention that the degaussing coil around most of the ship is squire not round so hay presto well not that quick most of to day one round coil is with a lot of cryo and filing is now a squire box well i think it is

Good morning gentle men a few more photos of the super structure have bin trying to get up to the pond at brid but whether has not permitted it so had it in bath and it moved not far but it hit the bath forward and aft rain or no rain on Thursday I an going to put it on the water so should have vid by Friday

jinks8 · « **Reply #44 on:** November 27, 2010, 03:07:51 am »

the sea trails did not go well it moved but not at a good speed infact it was slow and the stering was no good due to the low speed. So had to modifye it and put 2.speed 280tis in The reason there is no vid was the whether

not there long enough to get sum. Now for the modifications as I stated the 2 outer motors are now 280tis

to get them in I had to cut sum of the supports on the port and starboard

you can see this in the photos because this may weaken the hull put extra supports in to the side

Putting the new motors in the problem was to connect them to the shafts this was done with sum tubing made for the job you can get it and the motors from http://www.alwayshobbies.com [/url]

The weather was bad snow and windy not a good combo for filming but now the mod’s are dun will try again. Once more sorry to if you have dun it with the small motors the conversion is not hard to do as the 280tis will fit with out having to move the shafts but it must be the 2 outside motors

hi i just got onto this forum and started reading some threads. you mentioned the sticky with some resins. that is the styrene they add if it is polyester resin. they add it to help it cure nice and hard. its kinda like a waxy substance.. I use to be plant manager at a bassboat factory so spent a lot of time messing with resins. you can either just sand it off which it gumms up a few sheets or we uses to really wet up rags with acetone and just wipe the styrene off it doesnt affect the resin. another way is we would just dust talc over it and ignore it.
