i am slowly beginning to realise that IF one were to ever exist this would be the place to find one lol :wink: ......psssstt......hey......hey you.....hit me up.....i know a guy..........:smoker:

If im right i found out later that the 'Greyhound' ship may actually be based on the USS Kidd but im not sure - initial info said it was the Leutze but whatever the case the film is a great homage to the ships and their crews of all sides. Mr Hanks certainly makes great wartime media.

my first military/modern type ship in papercraft, much learning going on amidst much colourful language lol

:bowdown: we minions thank thee almighty for the wise use of your shrinkray*ahem*skills to gift us with such awesome work :CHEERS:

:surprise: speechless. :BRAVO:

not usually a prawn cocktail fan, but Pringles are an exception lol :noteeth:

this build now has a thread of its own lol look for 'Greyhound' :yesyes:

thanks lol, ill add some more updates soon.

so here we are, the one place to find all my mess that will end up being the USS Leutze, a Fletcher Class destroyer used in WW2, made famous by Tom Hanks movie 'Greyhound' - these ships were nicknamed as such for their speed and manoeuvrability when sailing, used primarily for protecting...

youre probably right lol, with being ill and on and offline ive updated as and when, ill start a new post for this one lol ;)

so as promised, some (some) progress - started on the display base for it as well, just the basics for now but you get the idea lol

muhahahahaaaaaaaa :wink:

wow im quite happy with keeping covid to a once in a lifetime experience, ironically we picked it up at a hospital appointment lol - we were lucky/careful enough to avoid it for the past 4 years but copped the variant that is currently rife in our area. Im in a bit of a catch 22 with the vaccine...

hey up all, apologies for being offline for a while, both myself and my wife are recovering from covid (of all things) and with our health being naff anyway you can imagine its fun stuff. Ive not made any progress as yet since my last work, but will hopefully be posting some updates soon. Cheers...

oh my.....i leave you guys alone for one minute.....outstanding sir, i bow to your shrinkray*ahem*work look forward to it, love the detail :surprise:

there are berries locally, apples too - we have alot of wildlife like foxes, badgers, owls, woodpeckers, grass snakes slowworms etc. Lucky to live with countryside one side and sea the other, grankids love it

:surprise: that bloody shrinkray is doing the rounds again........w o w

bit more of an update, lots of VERY small parts added to the deck, slowly starting to work my way up the structures. Still plenty to add yet trying to keep it as tidy as i can (paper ship newbie) but its slowly coming along :bulgeeye:

ive done the Black Pearl (a while back) as a plastic kit, but did as much detailing as i could - when i did the rigging i coated the cotton with pva once i put it in place, which helped some. ill try this again with the railings i think, and see how a trial run goes - failing that im thinking...
