Back to the NC. I spent several hours attaching splinter shields, ammo boxes, capstans, chocks and vents to the deck. I have a few more items to add the the stern, then I get to play with the 02 deck.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting the head off a Hydra, two more take it’s place.

So many small, tiny little pieces to glue to my fingers! Well done!

Re: 1/350 Trumpeter USS North Carolina
Thanks Lyle. I'm working on the 10 5"/38 mounts. Each has 3 telescopes. Lets see here..... carry the 2....that makes 30 of these wee telescope boxes that need to be made, well, have been made. It took several hours and a few naughty words to get it done. I guess I could have spent $75 for a set of 10 3D mounts from Shapeways
Thanks mustang
