Hello Russ,

Not sure if you are looking in till fall but here are some torpedo pictures of the Mk 44. I was aboard the USS The Sullivans today in Buffalo and found a dummy Mk 44 with the launcher on the deck. I know you were asking about some last Nov so hope these help.

hello all,going to slowly get back at it.,thanks james for the torpedo pics,first project will be the davits for the two ships boats ,thay will be made from brass and styrene.here is the start of them

does anyone know of a kit for the 3" gun in 1/96 scale,would save a lot of work.for now i am going to trye building my own,it will be wood sheeted with styrene,no sence casting it as there is only one.

Very impresive work. I like it

Hi Russ i'm glad you back again
really the pieces as well the model looks great

thanks guys,its going to take a bit to get into the swing of things.the curved pieces of glass on the turret looked pretty tough to make but i found a way of making them .i used some plastic food containers that seemed to have the right curves to make the pieces.then lots of cutting and fitting,this is a rough fitting here.

Hello Russ,

Good to see you back at it. For the 3"/50, the only kits are open Mk 33 (twin) mounts.(good for early St. Laurent class) I have never seen a kit with the housing on it like you are building. I had to scratch build mine in 1/72.

well continuing on with the gun.been lots of filling and sanding to get all the curves and angles right.i think the shape is right now.still a lot of detail work to go.

WOW faaaaantastic guns..
i like so much your work too...
do you know transparent styrene?
as glass or acrylic and bend as traditional styrene

3" gun is getting closer to being done,there was at lest 10 filling and sandings to get to here.next post will be the finished mount.

Superb work russclark. Have you tried to thermoform this small pieces of glass?
