HELLO! EVERYONE
I start new project, Gearing class destroyer FRAM 'Jeon Buk'.
It was the ex USS Everett F Larson.
I was the crew of that in 1976 as a eletronics petty officer.
I want to make it always.
Reference are the book and drawing(drawend by me).

I 've covered O-1deck.

Apart from - beautiful, well done and fantastic, how do you manage to keep your work area so clean ?

Hello Song Your workmanship goes from craft to art. I marvel at the way you transform solid timber into the graceful lines of the Gearing class DD Jeon Buk .

Thank you very much! It's different hull of battleships. Slim...

Hull appendages,shafts,sonar dome,bilge keel,rudders...

I do still wonder why you make that hull hollow? Weight is not such an issue in a static model of this size I suppose? And it takes some time to carve/drill it out...

Great, sharp and fast work again! I can't wait for the next updates!

Song
You work so fast .Very nice .Hollowing out a solid hull will keep it from cracking and warping .

Thank you! Richard!
Your reply is just my answer.
The next , Ive painted the hull.

Hi Song
That is one great looking hull .You are truly a master craftsman .

Thank you Richard!
