Another "giant penny" shot
Posted by mfsob on Thursday, April 9, 2009 2:41 PM

Over in the aircraft forum there is a long-running tradition of posting "giant penny shots" - pictures of 1/144 fighters with a penny in the foreground to give the itty bitty things some scale (a 1/144 bomber is the smallest I have been able to handle). I decided to take a page from that with the exquisite little Loose Cannon Productions 110-foot subchaser, which will be part of my Haskell-class APA dockside diorama:

All I really had to do to this molding was clean it up a bit and add some PE bits and a few decals, it was basically one single casting and a very crisp one at that.
