yep! may finally have the time to at least start it off! and its summer here so the sun is more than enough to hasten drying paints and all... i think i will go for the PF8 first; both 7 and 10 had helidecks and guntubs at the fantails to which data is still sparse carl...thanks again!!!

Carl sorry if I " hijacked " over here a project that rightfully belongs to your super thread- but came along with colleagues thus....



it will be PF8 or 9 as based on the fantail add ons- this was based on screen shots i saw in an old movie (The Boys Form Company C) where the PN Barnegats were extras in a couple of scenes. BTW the major structures are just dry fitted yet, so i can modify as needed as i go along the project...

Got to finish this first...



and made her into "dress ship"...sorry signal flags too big ( BIG TANGO again to Carl M for the decal sheet!!)...



...

The DE's in my Fleet including the almost finished APD at the far end..


...

one thing that eats so much of the time ( and energy, eyesight too if you will) of making my Fleet are the darn masts of the small gunboats the ships i make have...jeez!!!



and thar she blows....


PG140 BRP Emilio Aguinaldo, currently active in the Phililippine Navy....

still needs some touch up and then i can focus on the big boys...

The small ones seem to always get their spotlight first... an LCU converted to a floating clinic of the Phil navy in the 80s and behind her....



i really have to build Carl's favorite..SOON!!!

Wow, these are fantastic

the in-waiting part of the Fleet as of August 2015....



...and the active Fleet...

NICE LITTLE FLEET!!

Thanks! and still sloowly growing...

Do like your DEs very much
