In all seriousness that is great work. In some respects it almost seems a shame to cover it in paint.

Keep to the great work.

It's really A LOT of details to add...but it's worth it..

Dear all here is today's update on the diorama battle of Coral Sea....so added more details on the side walls...then, thanks to a fellow modeler, l removed the railings on the 2 platforms, finally l placed the forward twin oerlikon...enjoy

Greg,
Stunning work mate, but two questions. What is a paravane? and why did you replace the railings with card.

Dear Paul thanks for your kind comment.
-paravane are like bombs that "fly" underwater attached with a long cable to the ship to get mines
- those platforms are the rooms of the catapults...in the original plans they were open with railings then closed l suppose to protect them...

Truly fantastic work Greg

And there's me chuffed after fitting a tiny bit of railing lol
