Sorry about your mother gtbred. Your ship is looking good though. :thumbs_up_1: I liked the tall shape of the superstructure on this cruiser.

Is anyone else in for a People's Choice contest? I'd like one more entry to make a go of it.

So here is the prize I'm offering. While the set is for a 1/144 Revell VII D U-boat it will cover a VII C as well since Griffon only added a additional fret of PE to the D package.

I'd like at least one more person to join in the People's Choice contest, two, I feel, just isn't enough. I also must ask that the winner pays for postage for the prize, sorry to be so frugal but money is a bit tight with me right now.

These cruisers are looking good, lots of detail! Congragulations on all your builds! :thumbs_up_1:

I'm still thinking of a People's Choice Contest on the finished builds in this thread. I'd post in the main forum a voting thread with one photo of your choice, and a link to this thread and a WIP thread if you made a separate one for your build. After a week we'd see who won, I'd hold my vote off and only cast it as a tie breaker if needed. I think I have a Griffon Model 1/144 U-Boat PE set I can offer as a prize, but I need to check. I'd only do this if there is enough interest from a majority of the participants. Post here if you are interested in participating. You must be finished by Sept. 30th and get me a photo of the model by then to post.

Thank you for your kind words.
Some difficulty mounting parts. Mast = needles 0,8 mm and brass.

I would not say what San Franciscol is best.
Good Job, Gordon and Gtbred

Gordon, also I have the USS North Carolina Trumpeter (1/700) waiting.

gtbred, Your USS Chicago looks great. All those little detail pieces make her stand out. Now, how about a couple of overall
shots of your build. I like the oveall looks of those ships. They look so top heavy.


Kometa, Your USS Pittsburgh looks great also. I like how you did your masts. Looking forward to her completion.

GTDEATH, Your USS San Francisco looks great also. I can tell you put a lot of work into her by your pictures. I know that
the parts fit was not all that great and yes, I have finished my USS San Francisco.

This Curiser GB alowed my to finish my Trumpeter USS San Francisco and now we need a BB build to give me an incentive to finish my Trumpeter USS North Carolina.
