Made a bunch of progress on the IMS Vaiola. It’s my first 1/100 MH build and it’s way larger than those 1/144 kits I’m used to. I have three more 1/100’s in my stash and trying to decide which one to tackle once I finish this one up. 🤔

Getting closer to completing one leg.

Thicker, rounder, more shapely thigh:

Whole leg:

Still a little bit of putty and sanding to do, but getting closer.

Early Sunday morning l finished up the hardest PE for the Texas. The rear observation tower and radar screen. I'm glad I saved this until last because I had been dreading it. All the techniques I had taught myself and utilized up to this point came in handy to get this part finished up with only minimal stress... LOL 😂. So at this point I still have a lot of little diddly PE to finish up but it's all rinse and repeat stuff I've done before so it's just a question of making time to sit down and do it.. (42 - 50cal guns / quad 50s /baskets and such, and the two aircraft cranes) Other than that, it's down to dropping down a million little plastic parts on the deck and before you know it..... It's gonna be time to start painting this bad boy!
