2023 ended weirdly abruptly for me, but I got the shot in the arm I needed in order to hit the ground running in 2024. This year's going to be absolutely crazy, but for me personally, I feel my worst years are finally behind me. I'm ready to stop drowning in a sea of...
This is a general update and not project specific. To start, I've been pretty sick the last couple of weeks. That nuked almost every end-of-the-year plan and goal I had for 2023, including the Yamato project. Even as I write this, I'm only just 'recovering.' There's...
Okay so the Cosmo Messers aren't 100% compatible with the Yamato, so I wanted to modify one to be close to spec. I somehow wound up making a full-blown Cosmo Falcon. There I go, makin' replicas again I also did some side by side comparisons on an old request and Good...
Oh my goodness ... well, things may have slowed down exponentially compared to the first 24 hours of working on this thing, but that doesn't mean there hasn't been major progress. Check this out. The exterior is nearly finished (minus coloring) The catapults work...
Uh ... yeah, I'm not sure why I started making this yesterday. I'll do 'inspired' builds, but I never attempt actual replicas. For some perspective, this is sixteen hours of work crammed into about a day and a half. It took me a year to get the Admiral Hipper slapped...
One of the most annoying things about fleshing out these World War II inspired factions is that there isn't enough territory in the setting to go around. I mean we've got America, the UK, Germany, France, Japan, etcetera. There are only a handful of habitable worlds,...
When I got up this morning I decided I should just make a copy of the Admiral Hipper to test the concept of a double sided platform. I just wanted to see if it was feasible at all.

So I wound up building the entire thing. The Hipper just went from having a capacity of 4 fighters to 8 in one morning.
All that’s left at this point is to finish styling and programming some safeties into the system, as well as building a new, slightly larger enclosure for the whole thing. I’ll need a new set of hangar doors too, so I’m looking into designs for those, as well as brainstorming some of my own.
It’s working! It’s working!

Unless the schedule’s different, tonight was the last night of this Clan Battles season. What was it called again? Season Narwhal? Anyway, it was pretty good overall. Preussen, Bourgogne, Shikishima, and Yoshino B. These four were the standouts above DD tonnage in my roster.
We keep firing until they sink or we do!
It was a little weird that I didn’t play a battleship at all for this session. I started in the Daring and things weren’t going too well for the team overall. Things started evening out more once I swapped into the Yoshino. Go figure, this cruiser’s not tanky per se, but she’s very hard to sink in the right hands.
