Those look really good.  It's nice to see another company making some of the smaller ships. I'm wanting to build all the navy ships with Indiana related names and am keeping an eye out for the right oilers, tugs, and a barracks ship (Benewah class USS Blackford).

Itty Bitty Buildings

For any of you contemplating a 1/700 scale dockyard scene, I highly recommend the new buildings being offered by Loose Cannon Productions. They are laser-etched clear styrene, so you can fill in the window frames with your choice of color; add the engraved paper self-stick outer covers, appropriately painted and weathered, and you can get some pretty eye-popping results. Since the windows remain clear, those of you who are electrically inclined can really take it to the next level.

There are currently 10 different kits, and Hugh told me recently that more are on the way. Toss in their dock sections and one of their crane kits, and you can end up with a great-looking display without having to drive youself batty by scratchbuilding everything.
