I love it. This is a very nice rendition of a very handsome design.
I like how you went with the version with the suppressed missile position.

superb work, from building to finish, a true show of craftsmanship...
nicely weathered to, love the effect of the dented hull, just with paint

Issues with getting photoes persisted, but instead of waiting and sulking the matter I went full speed ahead!
So, I'm afraid I finished the ship! :heh: :heh: :heh:
I continued on my path on scratching all the details I could see on my reference to a degree. I most likely missed some etc. but I feel it represents Uss Ingraham before her decommissioning in 2014 fairly nicely!
So without further ado here she is!

Hope you like it! :big_grin:

My "studio" was out of order for the weekend. Only bad thing was that I was making a lot of progress so no photos. Here's where we stand at the moment. A lot of stuff finished and more details scratched and replaced!   Click for full resolution. My "studio" was out of order for the weekend.

And some more! Finished the port side boat deck. Straight from the pontos set though I did add some piping and other details on the belly side. Funnel finished and some various boxes and MK38 launchers too!   The flight deck recieved cables for the safety nets from stretched sprue and the flight deck lights (black boxes) and the flight control box.  And some more!

Hey carr! Good points! All I can say is mostly all my new projects always incorporate some new techniques or a different way to brining my models just a bit closer to real looking. It's an on going process because well, it's a bit of try and error stuff as I don't practice on it any other time than when building the actual ship so to speak. So maybe in a few years it's getting even closer but by every new build I try to take it one step closer. Also the fact that not so many ship builders that actually log their progress do heavy weathering or build full hull instead keeping theirs more traditional clean builds. So the material for "learning" is limited more to what you can see in real life and then figuring out how you could do it scale models. Because most of the time adding elaborate weathering isn't as easy as thinking oh well I just paint it looking like this! Hey carr!

Oh hi, finally got to working on this again! Well, here's where we sit at the moment!       Ok here's a quick rundown as what has happened after last time! First off the rest of the hull and superstructure were weathered. Continuing with a light black wash around the details then some filters with various greys and white. Then some light drybrushing with greys. The deck got a black wash aswell, but after the flat coat it recieved pigments. First some light grey then couple of shades of brown. Looked after some reference photos to get me going. Also the decals were put before the flat coat but the dry transfers after that. To save me some time and effort I cut all the bottom runs of the railings so I don't have to waste time hiding them. The wires were painted dark grey. Also various details were hand painted. For example the lights first got their tip painted black to make them look like their hollow. Then that black tip was painted with a yellow clear to make it look more like a bulb. Now it's mostly just building all the little details and adding them to the ship as the biggest parts are already done. Not making any promises but I got a good momentum going on so hoping to actually getting this finished. Even though I had the model resting in a cabinet for 6 month ish still tend to get some dust in all the wrong places  Well gotta try to clean some if I can and looking at some of the high res photos there seems to be quite a few one!

Most excellent in the post!!!  I have since gotten a 1/350 scale National Security Cutter. How can I make the same type of helo deck as the one that is shown here? Most excellent in the post!!!
