                        Nice shading on the M26. I might start mine for the GB since I may be waiting until the end of the month for parts for my carrier project.

                        Great looking work on the M-26, Zokissima! I like the weathering on it. Very convincing.

                        I've got the cockpit assembled on the F4U-5N and some other basic assembly such as the wings but nothing much to post pics of. I won't be able to post pics for a while as I no longer have use of a camera and I won't for some time until I can get one.

                        I've been gone forever (busy with real-life issues), but I'm about ready to start again on my Corsair. I just hope I can make that deadline.

                        My update on the conversion of the Dragon 1/700 Randolph to the Oriskany.
                        I have the scratchbuilt  island about done and the modifications to the hull about finished.  Have a new flightdeck for a post 1948 long hull Essex on order from Nautilus that will make it easier for the conversion.

                        Now in the process of making new guntubs for the bow and setting up an order for new aircraft such as Cougars to be modified into Panthers, AD1s, F4U-5s, and some H5 helis.

                        Naw, not over, just poking along.  My carrier hull is about done, so is the island, and got the flightdeck about ready to stain.

                        USS Oriskany in 1/700 scale, as seen in the movie "Bridges at Toko Ri".  Although the movie was made in 1955, the ship didn't look much different than how it appeared during it's Korean deployment in 1952.

                        Its the carrier Oriskany, and I'm about 45% done with the hull and island details.  Just ordered a bunch of 1/700 scale planes to make an airwing for it.  Hope to be done around June.
