Fantastic work. A true piece of art

A truly impressive model . Your build is top draw , GOLD medal standard .
Dave Wooley

"Modified" he says... From the look of the first photo, that thing is a complete rebuild from the deck up... Nice one. Wish I could build like that.

Excellent build, any chance of seeing some more of your Ark Royal too?

From dragon/revell whatever?
And where do you order them?
I got now a decent job whit payment, so i want to build a navy

The Oto Compact 5" and Goalkeeper can be found on the Skywave E-4 weapons sprue. They don't produce it anymore, as the molds were sold to Dragon. Dragon produces it in their Type 42 Destroyers, and their Invicible class Carriers, as Sprue B. Where you can order it, likely through Hobby Link Japan's parts service is a good choice, though you need a credit card as they do things in a somewhat odd manner.

That will be an impressive fleet when you ll manage to build them all.

I have found the website of the company Aegisline that produces the DDH-181 resin kit. The site appears to be still under construction.

Nektarios i need two 127mm (oto melara) and two goalkeepers.
And see your pb please, i want to know where you bought your kits.
Since i lost the websites (noted bevore)
I have found already some, but they are out of stock->

http://www.modelsforsale.com/catalog/pr ... _id=291075
All of those are ffg7 class, tico, arleigh.
I want to create two LCF class from the dutches.
If i will be able to do that
Otherwise i just rip off the armament from the spruance class, and fit them whit the 127mm and goalkeepers.
BTW NEKTARIOS, dont trow away, but send to me.
I will pay the sending costs, but just dont ever trow away again

I second that, don't throw anything away, I would also be happy to pay shipping if you are not wanting these extra items.

Indeed, because if you need spare parts.
You have to buy a new kit, wich is expensive.
So better give away then trow away

Here is my latest build, it is the USS Portland LSD 37 modeled arounfd the mid 90's. It still needs some little stuff done to it, but for now it is complete. Any comments are always welcome, Happy modeling - John

Wow john she looks good And then i mean good

Any progress on your models nektarios?
Im going to buy soon the first kit.
Currently getting a new computer, since this one is dying by the minut (i got an estimated 506 minuts left i quess )

Can I volunteer for the "random Aid Shipment in the mail" programme too, Nektarios? I can think of uses for all sorts of stuff - remember how I've converted the French 100mm into a compact 5" turret for one of my ROJN ships.

Well HLJ now list the kit under Interallied but its a tad expensive

http://www.hlj.com/product/INTVM203

Yeah, that price makes me think they're selling it finished - that does NOT sound right for a resin piece, even full hulled. That's just Ludicrous, but you know there's going to be at least one or two idiots who buy it.
