Hi all,
I'm new here and this is my first post.
I write from Italy and I build models from more than 15 years, mainly WWII vehicles and some sci-fi models in the last years.
I've recently decided to try a ship model, because I love working with PE parts, and there are a lot of them for ship kits, and I chose the 1/700 Laffey from Dragon (small and cheap kit for the first build) with the FlyHawk detailing kit.
I had a lot of fun building it, and I've already added some more ships in the pile of to-do kits
Actually I'm painting it, here is some pictures of the kit before painting:

I know I made some mistakes during building (especially on gluin all the structures together before painting), but I'll do better on the next ship
Any comment or suggestion is welcome.
Ciao,
Matteo "JaM"
ps: if you want to see my other models follow this link

This website is only in Italian, probably in the next weeks I'll set up a personal blog with only my models and a bilingual italian-english structure.
pps: sorry in advance for any grammar mistake I may make, feel free to correct me, this is also a way to improve my English
