Here is photos of my recent work, IJN Harbour Diorama.

It took almost 4 month to complete. Actually I'm still doing some detail
up here and there.

By making Harbour Dio, I can get rid of my old tooling kit all together, and
buy new tooling kit.

The kit I used here is

Aoshima Old tooling BB Yamashiro, Aircraft Carrier Hiryu, Heavy Cruiser
Chokai
Tamiya Light Cruiser Kumano, DD Hatsuyuki, Sub I-58, I-16
Tugger set, Harbour set. Skywave Military Base set, Vehicle from Beach Head
set.

Rigging was done using stretched spure.

I replace fore and after mast of Chokai using brass rod. The window
of bridge were cut off using razor saw cause it's sticker window.
I rebuilt bridge window with plastic rod. I did same to Kumano.

I replace Yamashiro's light stack, catapult and crane with Tomsmodelworks PE
set and redo all the stiffner and support of Pagoda  structure.

I still feel like I miss something, especially on the ground.

If you have any recommendation, let me know anytime.

Thanks.
