    Any hope of a 1:400 Fletcher Class Destroyer?

    I had asked this question a couple years ago to JSC, with little interest. I really think that a Fletcher is really needed in that scale. -Ski

    Quiet, but not Idle. A couple small ships...

    I know, I have been quiet, but I am continuing to build more JSC small ships. Here is a completed HMS Dragon, HMS Garland and my current project, the Bolzano. After my 1:200 Hood nosedived off of the bookshelf, I am thinking about starting another 1:200. I might start a Battleship next...

    JSC 1:400 Cruiser Askold Build

    Another ship on the blocks. This time it is the 2nd edition Askold. The deck turned out pretty wavy, but I hope to straighten it out as the superstructure gets built up. This one will be as tough as the HMS Hood due to the complex framing that covers the lifeboats. It should be fun, though...

    JSC 1:400 HMS Norfolk and The Road To Recovery

    Whew! Now that I got the Hood done, I started JSC 1:400 HMS Norfolk. I have to tell ya, I was kinda wiped out by the Hood. However, Yesterday I started my Road to Recovery and got hull done on the Norfolk. I almost forgot how enjoyable 1:400 was. Seriously, the Hood took a lot out of...

    Halinski 1:200 HMS Hood Build

    Whew! I never thought I would get this far with the 1:200 Halinski HMS Hood. This is the first 1:200 scale build for me and man, it's ungainly, but it is pretty. Note that this is the 1st edition version, not the 1995 model. Here's where it started out. I brused the hell out of my thumb...

    JSC 1:400 HMS Renown

    HMS Renown 1:400 JSC # 91 I bought a couple more 1:400 ships from the Hobby Factory and one was the new JSC HMS Renown. All I have to say is WOW! I have all but about 10 of JSC's models and this one really stood out from them all. I was surprised at all of the illustrations that were...

    Painting the lower hull....

    Hey, Does anybody have any pointers on whether or not it's wise to spray paint the lower hull? I've seen the example on Kartonbau.de and it looks like an appealing thing to do. I'm just not happy with how my Hood hull looks like, and I am thinking about it. I also hate the fact that I...

    JSC 1:400 North Carolina Build

    Hey folks, I wanted to start another thread for the JSC 1:400 North Carolina now that interest in it started in the Dreadnought thread. I'm not a pro modeler, so please excuse any "shoddy" work, heheheh.... And I appoligize beforehand for any slow progress that may result and poor photos as...

    1:97 Fletcher Model Project

    Hey all, This is a bit OT, but I am really excited about it. About 8 years ago, I won a 1:97 scale wood fletcher model on E-bay for $70. This thing was REALLY roughly built, in poor shape and mounted on a real navy crate slab, hand painted and all. Lucklily, it was complete with turrets...

    JSC 1:400 HMS Dreadnought

    Whew! I finally finished the JSC 1:400 Dreadnought tonight. This model was just about the most complex on that I've done, primarily because of the confusing nature of the diagrams and my penchant for not reading the written instructions. I'm not used to having English language instructions...

    JSC 1:400 USS Helena

    Hey all, Here are a couple pictures of 4th ship so far and I am still learning! A couple things I learned on this one: 1. Patience with painting edge lines. If I worked on my technique early, the ship would look a lot better (trust me, the pictures give it too much credit, hehehe). Water...

    JSC 1:400 Z10 Hans Lody.

    I just finished the 1:400 Hans Lody (1st edition). It's actually a bit under scale (maybe 1:450) since I copied it and it was scaled to fit. The kit was pretty good, although there were errors with some of the dimensions, but they were easy to fix. I accidentally reversed the torpedo bays as...

    JSC 1:400 HMS Roberts

    I finished the JSC 1:400 HMS Roberts a month ago or so. It went together pretty well. The only problem I had was that I couldn't get the foremast legs to line up, but I simply repositioned them. I used strip styrene for the guns as the paper guns included with the kit wouldn't of looked nearly...
