Well done! Have the 700th scale Baltimore 1/2 done. This makes me want to finish mine.

Thank you for your kinds words.
All American Cruise ships are a very interesting. This model is not very complicated, but it has some mistakes.
I hope to improve in other constructions.
This is the link of their construction (in Spanish).

Very nice! The water looks good too! I just hope Trumpeter will release their 1/350 Baltimore and Pittsburgh they listed in their catalogue soon so I can have a go at these US cruisers. :pout:

Thank you all for your kind words.
This post is 2012. I have this ship in my collection and I would like to repeat some cruise of Baltimore class.
I have improved the seascape in other models.

Thanks again to all.
Regards
