1/150 Gearing class FRAM 'Jeon Buk'(ex USS DD-830)
HELLO! EVERYONE
I start new project, Gearing class destroyer FRAM 'Jeon Buk'.
It was the ex USS Everett F Larson.
I was the crew of that in 1976 as a eletronics petty officer.
I want to make it always.
Reference are the book and drawing(drawend by me).

Hello Song Your workmanship goes from craft to art. I marvel at the way you transform solid timber into the graceful lines of the Gearing class DD Jeon Buk .

Re: 1/150 Gearing class FRAM 'Jeon Buk'(ex USS DD-830)
I do still wonder why you make that hull hollow? Weight is not such an issue in a static model of this size I suppose? And it takes some time to carve/drill it out...
Great, sharp and fast work again! I can't wait for the next updates!

You work so fast .Very nice .Hollowing out a solid hull will keep it from cracking and warping .
