The Ship Model Forum

Hello friends ! I am yakifone from Taiwan. I post scratchbuild HMS pioneer here several years ago.

this time I bring my scratchbuild USS AG-17 WYOMING 1945 for you!



1.use plastic plate to make upper deck


2.make ship body by plastic and putty


3.build turrets and ship body

Wow, excellent work! Keep it up!

that looks very interesting indeed

I am watching!

supper nice, The Wyoming fired more rounds durring WW2 than any other ship afloat, and ironically none in anger, or agianst an enemy target. I have plans for her in 1/72 scale that I blew up and drafted on. I was attempting to gain a commision to build her in her original Battleship form, along with the new attack submarine Cheyenne, and SSN Wyoming all in the same scale for a new visitors center here in Cheyenne Wyoming that I helped construct last year. You are doing a great job on her. Smooth Sailing, Haratio.
