Hi Gang,
Been a long 6 months till I started it, eye isses to boot. The kit is Trumpeters 1/350 scale USS North Carolina BB. Tom's Photoetch is added. Although I don't quite think it my best work even with 1 eye. The MS/32-18 pattern is quite nice once you're finished, but getting there is a trip.
The entire album (185 pictures) is here

I probally won't build another model for a month or so, Got to ship this one off to North Carolina for a customer, WHO's been very pat.
good job! it always how YOU feel about.
All in all I feel great about te client is happy. Not bad for a "Oe Eyed Old Fat man as Rooster Cogburn would say.
That is such a great job! Now maybe I'll get off my butt and do that BB-55 that's been in my closet for awhile. Thanks for the inspiration. It gives me something to shoot for.
My wife surprised me with this kit about a month ago. I've have not started on it yet (its next on the list).
I'm curious about PE. I have not decided weather to use it or not. still researching it.
Your finished product looks great!
Geez, I;ve ben married almost 29 years and my wife has never bought me model, she tells me I have everything and she never knows what to get me. Mostly true I suppose. Toms Modelworks has a good PE set. Some of it is too damn small though to even see with TWO eyes.
Sweet looking ship! Well done!

Nice work there Big Jake!!
Joe I would suggest Lions Roar or Eduards for the PE as I feel that Tom's stuff is a little bulky and not in true. the Lions Roar has Turned Barrels for both the 16" and 5" guns with ends drilled out, really make me salivate. I also used Yankee Modelworks Turrets. Not to hijack a thread here but to show the difference, here are a couple of my BB55

Don't know why the previous photos won't enlarge so we'll try again.
tried to show as much of PE stuff as possible.

Great job ,Jake and James on my favorite battleship. She earned 15 battle stars during WWII, survived a torpedo hit by the improbable 6 torpedo spread fired by the I-19, credited with 24 downed enemy planes, sunk a transport ship, and only lost 10 crewmen in action.
