■HOW TO BUILD
Flight deck is from kit of 1/600 U.S.Enterprize(product of ARII) and is supported by the N-gauge railroad structures.
Gustav's wheel and power unit is attached beneath the power unit of Ultrasaurus.Those power unit are connected to old
Ulrasaurus's battery box located in the tail.Marinesaurus can move forward , move neck,lit the light in cockpit and swing
catapult simultaneously. Right cannons are removed.Left cannons are soaked off and catapult from aircraft model are added.
Four fins are bulid using Gustav's shell.Bridge is from 1/72 U.S torpedo boat(JFK was a clue of that boat in WW2)
■HOW TO PAINT
Marinsaurus is basically painted with MAX-NURI.NURI means painting in English.MAX-NURI is a technic using airbrush,
established by Mr.Max Watababe( the famous professional modeler in Japan).MAX-NURI can express subtle shadow and
highight.
For upper waterline, it was painted with dark grey for U.S.naval vessels.Under water line,hul red was used.
Flight deck is painted in navy blue.I usually use GUNZE SANGYOU's Mr.color.
White and yellow lines on the deck were painted in that color after masked.
For washing I usually TAMIYA's enamel paintings.In this case, I used flat black.
