Do I see the cutouts for a steam catapult on the decking?

[Malamute]

Certainly beats anything in the neff arms race but I think boarding actions are more suitable...
cheers

Doesn't matter how big it is, or how many guns it has. It will still get shot down in the first round on its maiden flight

[Penchour]

 

I want to play with your toys !

[Captain Blood]

So.....how are you going to use that on a gaming table! There's not a table big enough out there!

Looks about the same size as a certain Zeppelin to me... 

Duel in the skies!!! Neff vs Zep!
Go on, you know you want to...

 

[Svennn]

I'm very jealous.  Now start Port Arthur you slacker

And plow through his own troops
 

[dampfpanzerwagon]

WOW - Now that's a NEF!

I'll build an airship opponent for this, even got the parts. Just need a *cough*former*cough* to sort the extras 

[tanktastic43]

WOW!

'nuff said.

Looking forward to this on going project.

[OSHIROmodels]

Thanks chaps  

Put a quick coat of primer on the forward 'bit' to show it a bit better but as mentioned it won't get painted until all the details are done. All the clear bits are lasered of course and the details are various bit of microstrip.

That's a good idea, I've got some Russian troops for Mars and they would make great opponants instead of Martians. That round Russian battleship would be great to make

All in good time mate, all in good time. In fact, I'll drop you a pm

I started drawing it up last year and have been cutting bits out every now and then but as to delusions of grandeur, why not go for a big one 

Only pulling your leg, mate.

It is bleedin' wonderful, guvnor!
 

Cant wait to see the next round of piccies!
 

[The_Beast]

Last year I fortunately got to go and see HIJMS Mikasa in Yokahama ...

cheers

James

Crickies, I hated you at THAT point! 

Then, I saw the rest...

You know, having followed threads of yours before, you'd think I'd learn. 

Okay, one point: nef is boat or ship, right? You didn't even use an apostrophe. Is this currently planned to be the original Mikasa, or a flying version? I assumed the former, and would love same.

After the game fluff of Leviathans had the Russians sinking the Japanese fleet at Tsushima, however, the latter would be delightful payback!

[Thunderchicken]

Bloody hell!!!!   

Here's me trying to take some time out from the hobby but how can I when builds like this come along?!!

Absolutely spectacular old bean!

This is off the Awesome Scale!
