Bridge overlays At last side overlays are on well there is a large electric conduit to run over the top of the join luckily The whole thing is about 30 cms long, A3 would be nice some days it neede a heavy support structure

bridge front Thanks Carl and Bob a bit slow n replying A couple of test builds one sensible with drawn windows the other ott I think in the light coloured pic there is a dark mass which appears on every pic now I have cleaned the lens and looked at it with a magnifier and can't see any...

Starboard side rails Hi All Not exciting just took a long time winding the chuck away card formers a day to do that and a day to solder up and bend etc there are a lot of other ways it could be done and probably better but I can't cut 100 stanchions the same length however hard I try. It all...

Wet dock doors Parts for the wet dock doors still trying to work out where the seals will be winding gear housings are a bit complicated in having so many facets.

CH53e chopper Trial run throws up the usual crop of errors I hate putting frames in these things needs wheels paint and stiffer card for the rotors. I'm stuck on doing anything else on Tarawa until I complete all the side rails for the cantilever decks. This one is definately going to have to...

That's a very impressive build congratulations

The gnasty gnat AH-1W This is made using 100gsm paper, a bit small for me and it could have done with a ball bearing in the gatling gun turret to hold the front down. Needs a couple more practice builds really and some rockets. @jaffro Thanks for the kind words and the heads up on the disc.

Prototype CH46 Looks as rough as a bear's backside and it's too difficult to build for the most part at least it's a change from ship hulls. I now now it will fit on the aft lift as John's mini diorama proves. I am not very good at applying textures so I will ask here what is the maximum...

Real nice build

Looks great as ever look forward to the guns picture(s)

Lower hull closed up That's the lower hull closed up some bits and pieces still to sort out like hanger interior for instance. The top of the hull sides is in place waiting for the cross beams and it looks like the deck will fit so far. Fitting the side lift housing is a bit of a pig. Flight...

Nah John down to my measuring again

Ink............about a cartridge full so far

One side complete Well this side is done. It does not like being looked at with flash and I wish the card I wanted to use would have fitted through my printer's throat but it did not. The most difficult bit was getting the companionway cutout lined up without showing the edges. The fit was...

Thanks for the photograph looks like the Russian equivalent to the Spithead review of the fleet a wonderful collection.

Some model! flawless!

Bow section I would probably not do such a long necklace if I did it again but it did not work too bad. Better than I expected but less than I really wanted. still I leave you to make your own minds up. Started at the top of the bow and then worked along the top of the piece and pushed it up...

Well my excuse is the pic at the top showed some rust and she looked like she was coming in for a refit and I was tired of acres of pristine paintwork although I will provide a pristine one if it ever gets to print. Hey John the bows on shot goes with the pic at the top. Thank you. Can...

The awkward joint No it is not stuck but at least I know it fits this is another of those bits where you really wonder if it will. Gluing is a case of holding the joints and jagged joiners together so that the join closes on the lower flare if you get it right the top automatically lines up...

Hood Hi Marko It was an off day when this was produced it's a pig to build trouble is when you have done it, then it's impressive. My advice mate copy the lot at least that way you can mess about until you are happy. You also need to look through your kits for a decent uploader and pom pom...
