                        Just fininshed an SK radar 1:48, with theYE (?) nand the SG in progress. Waiting on the platform are two 26ft motor whaleboat. All due in two months. The latter a big challenge due to the lack of reference, and still fogged about how to go about building them beyond the keel. Ideals welcome.

                        I'm carving up heller's 1/400 Z31 WW2 German destroyer. I get to use up leftover photoetch railing, got the WEM german A.A. weapons p.e. set (nice stuff) and have been using the exacto knife, saw, tubes and sandpaper. Heller gives you gun turrets that are molded closed, but they should be open mounts. It's actually less of a problem than it would seem. I've also opened up the bridge and put equpt. people and windows in it. Now for sub-assembly painting........ cheers G.L.

                        When I am in a boat/ship modeling mood I build mostly steamboats., paddlewheelers, sternwheelers and towboats. I'm just finnishing up a 1/35th scale sternwheeler. I'd like to build maybe a 1/24-1/25th scale towboat.

                        Finally completed the Model Shipways NIAGARA (only took two years) and am now scratchbuilding a Hudson River tug, the ROB. The tug was owned by the Cornell Steamboat Company of Rondout, NY in the early 1900's . I am doing it solid hull in 1/96th scale.

                        oh yeah, and I have an ongoing project with Tamyia's Enterprise. I'm down to doing the airwing now. I have almost all the planes I need to start that, but right now I am waiting for Trumperters aircraft to come out and see if they are any better than Tamyia's.

                        As to my daughter, the project there is to do all the ships in the CARL VINTON's 2003 battle group. Should keep me going awhile, especialy since I have to do each one twice! (one set for her and her husband, one set for me)

                        Be sure to tell us how you like the WEM detail set for PT-109. It looks very intriguing; I've heard good things about it.

                        I'm in the middle of building Heller's 1/400 Tirpitz. I plan on painting it in one of those splinter scemes from 1943. I've also recently finished Heller's "SMIT Rotterdam" and "La Couronne".

                        Just putting the finishing touches to a couple of resin ships in time for the Scottish Nationals this weekend. A Combrig Potemkin and a Samek Royal Oak, both 1/700.

                        I think the Potemkin is the best thing that I've done with 120 photetched mutinying sailors crowding the rails, cheering the people in Odessa. And the rigging, well, it might not be quite a matter of, "Eat your heart out, Jim Baumann", but he might just like to nibble on his left kidney a little! ;-)

                        I'm working on the Revell 1/72 scale U-Boat. I've finished painting, now it's time to weather it so it doesn't look quite so 'new'. Great kit. Lots of fun.

                        I just joined this forum. I found it while looking around the FSM website It looks like a great place. I thought I'd just post some pictures of my latest model for suggestions. This was my first resin kit, the Corsair Armada U.S.S. Honolulu, with Tom's Modelworks photoetched brass. (how many posts do I need before "snap-tight" goes away?Laugh [(-D])

                        Revell's PT 109 is partially built but I'm awaiting the WEM pe set which has just been released. Dragon's Typhoon class ballistic sub just requires the propellers and scopes (I really don't know why I've done this one).

                        Just so I don't get bored Tamiya's 48th scale V1 flying bomb now just requires painting; Tamiya's 1/24th Porsche 962 FromA is at the decalling stage and a 1/43rd Elva sportscar is at the final assembly and decalling point.

                        HMS Hood, 1:400, and preparing to scale a 350 version. Only thing is I'm trying to find out what color to use on the fore and aft shroud covers (see photo nh 60409).
                        Any help would be helpful.....

                        Im doing the Dumas 1/20 scale 80ft Elco PT 109,just finished corrected the hull error,anyone wanting to do the same scale you have to see Mosquito boat hobbies web site,they offer great kits and upgrades.The boat will be triple screw just like the original powered by electrics.The hardest part(so far) has been trying to locate figures for the crew. Tamiya has 2 different kits of 1/20 scale pit crews in plastic,perfect for the South Pacfic,short sleeves+shorts,just have to make some sailor hats,helmets,life jackets.Also theres tons of data on PT boats on the web,I will post some pic as I get along(another thing to learnBig Smile [:D])Ive mounted the deck to the hull,drive lines finished in brass,the lower hulls painted,now getting to the good stuff,all the cabins and fitting.If anyone doing a PT in this scale Mosquito boat hobbies web page is a must

                        Righto ... since that shot I've added GMM railings and ladders, Vought Kingfishers, weathering and rust and I'm just now rigging the antenna farm and painting the props. Plus, it's now mounted on finials on a wood wall shelf so's I can put it anywhere in the house. When it's done I'm moving right into the Montana project, which is about 50 percent done.
