Michael this ship is awesome :!: Are the laser cut rails 1/250 scale or 1/200. Also do they take and hold the bends well? They look great :!: I was wondering where you were with this ship. It still reminds me of the scene in the movie "The wind and the lion" where the US Marines landed to capture the capital city of Morocco. They disembarked from the "Great white fleet", in the backround you can see ships similar to yours. Anyways great build :!:
Digital Navy's BB-3 Oregon, 1:250

I think I've said it before, and I'll say it again - this is "picture of the week" quality, if I ever saw one. Love the deep golden tones of the superstructure, contrasted to the red of the hull. And what a flawless build! - Leif
Hi Michael
I think Leif and Ted have said it all, amazing work
The rails turned out better than I thought they would, one to be looked into for future builds I think
Thanks again

Looks wonderful, Michael. The railing turned out just great. 8) If not the exact equal of photoetch, plenty close enough not to quibble about it; not to mention it's much more in the spirit of paper modeling.
Hello friends,
today I finished the rigging. Doing it realistically was quite a challenge - about each photo I have of the original shows slightly different rigging - so I decided to an "average" of what I have seen on the images.
To me it looks ok...

all that is left now are the last four boats. Maybe I can get it done on Sunday...

There's not much left to say that hasn't already been said. Nevertheless, let me add my two cents worth: superb build and great thread with super photos. Thanks for sharing all of your efforts.

Dear friends,
the "Oregon" is now finished. You can find the final photos here: http://cardmodels.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=2123
As I am a bit proud of finishing my first larger model, I took the freedom to enter it into the large ship model competition.
For me it was fun to build and I learned a lot while doing so - thanks for all the tips you gave me over the time.
It was fun sharing this build with you and I am already looking forward seeing you again during our "3 model Victory chaos" on kartonbau.de
thanks again for all your encouragement and thank you Roman from Digital Navy for this superb model - there was only one single part that didn't fit right - and that was my fault! Truly a great job and I can recommend Romans models to everyone with a passion for expertly designed models and a little patience.
best regards,
Michael

Most excellent work, Michael! 
The laser cut paper railings (still can't believe it's paper!) looks very good! Quite a nice alternative to the shoddy painted strings I've used and a bit different from the photo-etched type.
Superb job of it, my friend, and looking forward to your next project!
Cheers!
Jim

Help on USS Oregon
Hi, about two years ago when Murban did this truly excellent model of Digital Navy's USS Oregon, their was a thread on a different 6 inch gun that he got from Roman. At the time I asked for, and received, a copy of the file. Unfortunately I was unable to work on my model until now, but have since lost the file. Can anyone help?
Thank you.
