Think im going to go with a thicker cable, .1mm just looks too thin even though it actually might be more accurate.
I think .3mm looks better

I'm done, far as i can go with my bad eyesight and shakes. Don't look to close, errors abound.

Humm,, ya know,,, the further away i get the better it looks. At 30+ feet, it looks awesome.  :P :D

Wow I love the idea of mounting them on the wall like that.  Looks like you have space for a 1/32 type ix or something above that gato.
Excellent job on the paint work, Looks fantastic.

Thank You Guys!
I had hoped to fill the top space with one of the big Lindberg Japanese Submarines, but i can't seem to find one that is affordable.
I wrote Round2models to inquire if there were plans to re-release the IJN I-53 and I-20, but as of yet they have not replied.
