The Ship Model Forum

Thank you again Bob.

I'm very happy you like it.

And for sure I'll post WIP pictures of my next ship :thumbs_up_1:

ps: I've just discovered this

Maaaaadness :crazy:
I see a japanese aircraft carrier in my future :big_grin:

Matteo, I checked out your personal page and I'm even more impressed than before. That is some of the cleanest PE work I've ever seen! I can't come close to that kind of work in 1/350, let alone 1/700. I doff my cap, sir!

I hope when you start on San Francisco you'll share some WIP photos with us.

Bob

Thanks Dan :smallsmile:

Yes, it's really 1/700. I swear. :lol_pound:


Ok... poll started: San Francisco 1 - Takao 0 :lol:

Very nice, it is hard to beleive that is 1/700! I vote for San Francisco for your next ship.... :big_grin:

Thank you Bob.

I love to work with photoetched parts, and fortunately my eyes are still good :smallsmile:

Actually I'm working on a Trumpeter 1/35 Centauro, the italian wheeled tank destroyer (with a lot of PE from Voyager Models :big_grin: ), I've started it last year but then I put it apart to work on the Laffey (which I've started in december).

I think I'll start next ship within some months (in 1/700... I don't have space for 350 ships :tongue: )

Very impressive, JaM. I did her in 1/350 and I can't even imagine working with that PE in 1/700. Great job!
Interesting coincidence, too. I've also got San Francisco (1942) on deck. I'll be doing her in 1/350 (middle aged eyes and hands just don't work in 1/700) and I assume you'll be doing yours in 1/700. I'll be looking forward to seeing her.

Bob

Thank you.

I'll try to do even better on the next ship :big_grin: (a IJN Takao or USS San Francisco)

That is a beautiful model! Very well done, and VERY impressive for 1/700 scale! Bravo!

Finished! :woo_hoo:

It took me a bit more than expected... but here it is!
