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 can do to support you Chris

rails

I usually solder the damn things but there are photoetch and paper rails these days. Somehow they all seem a bit flat as well as expensive. The LSM was easy at 1/100th scale just pins and cotton.

Very nice work!

Hey, I'm a mixed media man myself... I agree, the paper rails leave something to be desired. You just can't get certain effects unless you mix.

Now... build another one! Mwhahaha! :mrgreen:
