                        HA!

                        I won't lie to you and tell you I hadn't thought of it, but I might have done an RHI launch with a boarding party. I then thought about how to make a 1/700 scale jacobs ladder and all plans were abandoned!

                        Nice to see other Coasties trolling about these waters!

                        Looking good! I built one of those myself, and it was a really nice kit to build.  I think highly of German Revell ship kits.

                        Very nice!   I built that Colombo Express kit as well, with varied containers.  VERY tedious!

                        Container ship Build w/ CG Cutter
                        Posted by highlanderburial on Friday, August 30, 2013 10:24 PM

                        So I wanted to build a 1/700 scale model of a container ship to show the size difference between it and a CG Cutter I used to be stationed on.

                        My articles on the build are here:

                        http://highlanderburial.blogspot.com/ 

                        Here is a placement pic after I cut the water line down and added spackle.

                        I didn't like the kits drab container array (all orange) and so I started painting them realistic colors in a hodge podge pattern. This is very tedious.

                        I added 1/700 hand rails to the superstructure.

                        So far so good. I also picked up an aftermarket decal set for the kit.

                        Thanks for viewing!
