Neptune "Yumematu" 1/700

[mabmanu]

Hello.

I apologize for my bad English.

Here is the beginning of the kit Yumematu representing the battleship Neptune.

Artillery (the castle) was absent in the kit. One solution, the "scratch".

Pipes guns seem too small, I'll also rework.

Hello

Excuse me for my bad english .

Here is the result .
Everything is set to "white" ( french language) .

The bridge of the castle is really empty .
No hatch, stairs, nothing at all ...

The positioning of the bridge before I feel strange !
Gateway button or not the chimney ???

I will have to work on it.

One of you can help me to detail the top of castle ???

Schematic design plan photos ???

Looks excellent! How did you scratch-build the secondary guns?

[mabmanu]

Good morning Gone Asiatic

Thank you for your compliments.

I took my gun and the future development of the castle, with these photos as a starting point.
I realized the gun in evergreen and paper Adesif .
