Robin,

The carrier deck diorama is awesome! Thanks for sharing it with us. Who makes the crouching Japanese sailors/soldiers in the background?

Cheers,

Brendan

Thank you Brendan for your interest. The background Japanese are from an earlier K&C release with 3 crouching figures around a small artillery piece. Robin.

The set from K&C is IWJ013, around on eBay, but not cheap. Described as 3 figures with a mountain gun. Robin.

Looks great with the deck crew Robin. Chris

YET more inspiration to keep working on my 8' long AKAGI carrier, after seeing this great work.

PLEASE tell me where you found the rolling barrel set ... I am having some difficulty find deck equipment.
Hopefully, Andy might consider some "SP" releases with that in mind. I really like that shot. Kudos to your model builder ...!!

ALSO ... great news to hear that K&C is planning more planes and deck crew ......

Thanks Martyn, I run hot cold on series, the flavour of the month is ECW and looks like staying that way for the remainder of the year. Starting to feel I should revisit Zulu soon, Britain's new releases will be the catalyst. Light Horse, Market Garden are never far away either. Robin.

If you keep adding great figures and scenes like this then you IJN carrier is going to need to sail back to dry dock for a refit and flight deck extension! {sm3}
Keep em' commin' sir ... wonderful stuff.

Thanks Larry, next time this carrier goes to sea, I expect to have the support of your carrier^&grin This will make for some powerful force to be reckoned with. Please confirm sailing date.

Matching your colour diorama's Mike is my goal. A big task{eek3}

Chris these Hussar's are very nice and will dabble with a few more, but I do not do Napoleonics, or do I !!?

Thanks for your comments Guys and the always reliable local guy, Graham. Robin.

Evening Robin ... Yamamoto has been calling me daily asking the same question .. {eek3} .. I have noticed a couple of rather mean looking samurai outside my door and it is making me a bit nervous. ...{sm2} You need to sail to Kure Naval Base to meet up there.

I told him that the hull is finished and the lower stern hanger deck is done and highly detailed both inside and out.

About 50% of the lower Sponson Deck is complete. Unfortunately, the flight deck has just been started .. 1800 coffee stirrers and paddle pop sticks are a lot to cut to size and stain....{sm2} Plus, I have 500 photo etched plane tie downs that need to be drilled into the deck and installed. I have an Aircraft elevator that has been cut and ready to install into the forward flight deck however that is taking some time to get it to fit perfectly.

The Bridge is designed on paper (5 levels) and materials obtained, but no construction yet.

I have been authorized by War Minister Tojo to increase the rice and sake ration and get the minions to work a 21 hour day. Of course if the Geisha girls would leave me alone for a while I might make more progress. {sm4} Well, maybe not!!!!

Also, I have been taking pictures and writing a -- "HOW TO Build an IJN Carrier - The AKAGI" so I can present that when I am finished.

Get your tide charts out and look for favorable winds and seas some time in September is my guess, most honorable Robin-San.

PS:
OH ya' --- ANDY ... I can NOT sail with only TWO aircraft so I am begging your assistance in increasing my air wing by at least two or three planes ...

its looks like the Australian submarine corp is moving from Osborne to hackham, more chance of getting a contract from a very reliable taxpayer cheers graham
