Hello, folks!
Here is my HMS Totland. She is all finished now with only the crew missing. I will put her into a diorama later, so I do not know yet, where to place the crew figures finally. As I don't know yet, if she'll be at anchor or under way, I have yet to add the flag. Still (ship-wise) she's all complete.
The kit is a modified WEM-kit HMS Gorleston (kit no. K743) It is a very nice kit of WEM standard, which I can recommend to both beginners and advanced modellers. As soon as I find the time, I'll put togther a review for the daily updates.
I hope you like the result. Comments appreciated!

:cool_1: ok, here she is..... I had intended to build Trumpeter's USS England in 1/350th... but as I was reaching for that kit on my shelf I had to move Tamiya's 1/700 scale USS Bouge. Well, since she was started already, next thing you know I was hooked, the interest sparked when I saw her and off I went to do a little research and saw that the Bouge class was painted in measure 33/7a late in the Battle of the Atlantic. Nice looking camo! so I got side tracked into this ship.... I know she isn't smaller than a Destroyer, but I hope I will be forgiven for this entry.

Your USS Bogue looks very good, as does the sea base!
This is a class I thought might be a good subject to scratchbuild in 1/144, given the wide selection of planes available in this scale, until I did the calculations and found that it'd still be well over a metre long. It'd make a great 1/350 subject, though...

I'll post some photos of my Rudderow-class DE in a few days - unfortunately I didn't get round to photographing it before the deadline, but it was completed over a week before so hopefully still counts!
