The Ship Model Forum

Well I believe I completed the ship. I had some problems trying to get the decals on so you'll notice the ship decaless. I also had alittle problem with the two seaplanes so they may look alittle messed up. The machine guns were a little annoy to do because they were so small and so many but I was able to get all them in without losing any. After a couple I got into a rythmn.

Some future things I'd like to do for the ship are:
Weather it
Build a seascape(need to learn how to)

Here are the pics.
I seemed to have had problems with focus issues so some of the ship may be clear while other parts are blurred out. I used 2 cameras; my Nikon SLR and Nikon Point-n-Shoot.
I started taking pics of the ship in the sun but I felt it gave too much shine to the ship so I repositioned into the shade. I also decided to take the pics of the ship on a blue towel to simulate ocean. Also some pics depict the ship aiming it's weapons out to sea.

Hope you enjoy my first completed model ship:

Sweeeeeet!!! Nice clean build sir So how does it feel to have your first ship kit under your belt?

I enjoyed it. Wish I went with the 350 though so there would be more detail and those machine guns wouldn't be so tiny and frustrating

I've been trying to do some research on future models that I could do from the US Navy
