Inspired by Alvama's and Heuhen's work on ships in FD scale I have decided to start the Nitta Maru in FD scale. Since it's larger (but less detail intensive) than both and I cannot work at Alvama's and Heuhen's furious pace so this will be a progressive work. :lol:

To make up for less detail intensiveness, I have, rather painfully, spent the afternoon crawling about the original plans of the ship with a ruler, cursing the lack of measurements where I need them.

I'll apologize in advance for wasting your time scrolling due to the ridiculous size :roll:

I also probably need to move the hull down as well

There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

Looks like I and ALVAMA must draw something larger, if we want to continue to be Kings!

The first issue is finding a good source that's big enough, my reference is the size of a single bed!

Ambitious! This should look great when it's finished :)
Wasn't she converted into a carrier at some stage?
