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...

Basically 140 gsm + Cornflake packet for formers, 180 gsm hull sides, 140 gsm for keel plates and 80gsm paper for rolling.

Thanks old friend

Slow progress It's been slow progress on Richelieu mostly testing gun parts nothing is glued in place as yet

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.

Sorry I had a few things on but I looked at Vendetta and I have done nothing to turn it into a kit. I do intend to but it will be a while.

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

Good looking ship

Hi Greg About 30mm wingspan got to try crazy glue on the corsair wings I think.

Fleet Aim Arm markings Hi Greg They are similar but they are actually a white bar and circle with a blue inner and white have a better picture. Probably so the Yanks did not shoot us down mate. There should be others on the wings.

Corsairs and Barracuda Thanks for the kind words fellas @Gixergs Considering how many navies used the class one preerved would have been fitting. I love the Barracuda it's so damn ugly. The little planes need some touching up but I am waiting for my eyes to rest up a bit. The tail surfaces...

Looking very good Ollie

Excellent models

Colossus sponsons Thanks for stopping by and the kind comments fellas. @Longshaor Scratch built using Metasequoia I still forgot the ammunition doors for the aft pompoms

fantastic build Greg

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

Tarawa kit A bit of the slow process of turning this into a kit the gantries were just not good enough and far too difficult to align using the wire method. I added another deck by splitting the hanger sides possibly a lot of waste card but at least it is easy too achieve a good flat overhang...

That's fabulous Greg the cage masts are wonderful

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
