Thought I would show an update on my current project.
About the turrets, Fujimi is releasing highly detailed 1/200 Yamato turrets. They are a bit pricey, though.
I had seen those, after I had gotten the L'Arsenal ones;

Although, that may be a nice add on to put next to the model.
Finally did something with this beast. Hopefully I can finish her up in the next month or two.
You are braver than I sir:) Cannot wait to see her again at the club.
Couple more pictures of my slow progress on this monster. I've received the brand new type 89 12.7 covered guns from L'Arsenal the other day and they look fantastic. I've gotten word from them that they plan to do the uncovered version of these guns in the next 4-5 months. Fortunately, I've designed the superstructure to be easily removed to take off the old ones and replace with new when they are available.
