Link of the Day [12.27.08]

Okay. Here’s one of the things I got for Christmas. It’s the IJN Haruna from Hasegawa in 1/700 scale. It’s a full hull model which I don’t have any experience at doing. The last full hull model I attempted was my brother’s Bismark and that burned down in flames.

She’s a very interesting ship. She’s sister to the Kongo, whose name lives on in the JMSDF Kongo DDG-173, a modern day Aegis guided missile destroyer. This is another class of ships I want to build.

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;

Night Before Christmas, Clement Clarke Moore
