A light cruiser/destroyer flottila leader Built around 1942 6 inch guns looks more like a Leander class RN cruiser than the normal Japanese designs. A fairly simple model the underwater hull has an 80 gsm and a 140 gsm layer the double skinned hull allows for pretty good gluing surfaces.

I first tried building Starling several years ago in this forum but I never finished her because I could not get the bridge right, which has irked me for some time now. So I redrew her in Metaseq as a full hull model with the ability to make a waterline one.

I felt like doing another Aircraft Carrier be warned this thread could collapse under the weight of the decks (not fitting). Period will be 1989 with the square superstructure. The last picture is the basic hull structure.

A change from warships a fairly modern full container ship built around the 1980's.

Landing ship Medium the workhorse of the Pacific built in hundreds in WW2 ugly, uncomfortable no glamour but they made a huge difference. Why 156 it's for an old sailor who rode this one onto the beach at Okinawa. Still requires everything gluing down and railings etc. Scale is 1/100. Best I...

USS Tarawa LHA 1 is available on ecardmodels.com

Always wanted to do this one it's just such a beautiful hull. The tower platforms are just piled up like bricks until I can get the blast screens completed.

Colossus is available on http://www.ecardmodels.com in 1/400th scale. Period is South Est Asia 1944 airwing is Barracuda and Corsair aircraft.

A small model for a change 1/400th HMS Triumph on her one and only sortie to Korean waters with Seafires and Fireflys and for a bit of colour Colossus in late war camoflage with Corsairs and Baracudas. No great innovations

Finally finished after quite a while sitting on the shelf USS Higbee depicted at the time of the Korean War escourt picket for the carrier groups. It is available on Chris Gutzmers site http://ecardmodels.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=302

I originally designed the hull and main superstructure for Nick as building bricks then I got carried away and decided to do one for myself, apologies to Nick for B gun deck and and the funnel house I am still messing about trying to get it right. Hopefully the next build will be ok. The hull...

Hi All Just to try and cheer up the flyboys, well those who build modern US navy anyway this is a sample of the deck he did for Tarawa some artist eh!!!!!!! enjoy ps Talk to John about how to use it

After the fiasco building the underwater section of Spruance and not being Polish or called Christoph I wanted to try and get a reasonable hull for lesser mortals like me. I have cheated a bit this one does not have a sonar bulge. It done the usual Metasequoia Pepkura way so I will not bore...

Hi All I think everyone should have a piece of lunacy and this is mine for 2007 should be fun even if it gets set fire to cos it did not work. It will be about 49" long by 6.5" beam. Progress will be dead slow but that's half the fun of card modelling. The idea is to build it as underwater...

Got bored so I decided to test build the LAMPS helicopter for Spruance also to check the scale this way I can get an accurate measuremnt on the length it is abouttwice as big as it should be so it must be near to 1/100. Although several mistakes have shown up I am reasonably happy with it needs...

Hi All Butterfly time again I keep getting bogged down on the last difficult bits on Norfolk (the sonar) so I thought I would play with this while my brain and hands catch up. Also I hate trying to remember which file goes with which I'm not very organised @Jim As you requested old...

Hi All Butterfly time again, I've wanted to build one of these for ages basically they are such elegant ships in spite of all the top hamper.

Getting to be a bit of a butterfly Glowworm is quite exacting so this one is for fun (for now). HMS Starling one of the most successful Uboat hunters of WWII. Speed 19-20 knots 6 4" 4 Twin Bofors 2 20mm cannon Depth charges by the bucket load. This is the second build attempt somewhere...

Time for a change from staring at the computer screen trying to design things did a bit to Glowworm instead. I decided to convert it to waterline it looks like it will work not a lot done but it's a start and at least it's a beautiful design as always from Gremir.

I need to redraw the Metaseq freighter and will have to wait for NOBI's next update to go on with it. In the meantime I thought I would try a quick build the old way I think it will help in the final design. Shelter deck freighter built Gotaverkan in 1961 Length 472 ft Breadth 65 ft...
