Side-tracked again, after my purchase of kits at the Northern Model show.
This is the USS Sacremento AOE-1, it is an AOE Fast Combat Support Ship.
This is a Trumpeter kit.

WOHO great job 8)

Hi Zak,
Nice that.
Does this mean you are now a 'shipper' rather than a 'missiler'?
Or is it just a short diversion.

It means he has seen the light
-
It seems pretty dark from here!
There were quite a lot of ships in my purchase from the Northern Show.
I am at present working on HMS Warspite and I will have to rebuild some parts.
Some parts have been hacked about and or are missing.
Oh well the joys of cheap kit buying.
It is all good fun - is it?
-
Hi Zak,
At least you know you have a good price per kit. A kit that has not cost a lot, means you can try new things on, and not worry if it does not go to plan.
I am impressed however by your ability to turn your hand onto another genre'.

If you remember I did build a lot of Falklands War ships some time ago.
-
The HMS Warspite is a Trumpeter kit that represents the ship in 1942, it is more or less from the box with the addition of etched brass cranes and rails from Starling Models.
-
Hi Zak,
That looks very nice, and etched brass too...…….
Respect Man!
Looks very good, and I think you could give Haddock and Msea a worrying time on your build skill's.
Ships for now then...…….

The wooden deck planking looks very impressive.
Haddock.

Haddock.
It was painted and then given a wash of a darker colour.
Back from your hols then?
-
Here we have the Tamiya HMS Repulse, added etched brass cranes, railings and so on.
-
Neat that, very neat.
Haddock.

Hi Zak,
Nice that..........A ship man, underneath the Missile, WWI, Plane, Helicopter facade.
Now, will you be putting some struts on the Walrus..............?
Cheers,
Kevin

Is there no limit to this mans skills ????????
-
Just about to start another project, this will be initially be the Graf Spee and then who knows?
I have the Trumpeter kit of the ship in 1/700 scale, it says it represents the ship in 1937.
-
Finished for weekend then?

Finished for weekend then?
Cheek, I don't think so, it will take at least a week, working 6-8 hours a day, none of this part time employment for me.
I actually started this on Thursday and this is the progress so far.

Finished for weekend then?
I thought he did 5 models in 3 days average ????!!!!!??????

Probably 3 models in 5 days, or is it 3/5 of a model in a day.
If a man and a half digs a hole and a half in a day and a half, how much will you give me for a barrel load of one eyed policemen?
-
Some progress, been too busy really!

That's half a ship made - ?????????
-
Which half?
-
The top half
-
Busy applying rails and steps from etched brass, so some progress.
-
Hi Zak,
Very nice work.
Haddock and Msea will be encouraged at another member being drawn into the 'dark side' (well for the time being...)
Cheers,
Bigkev
-
Just a few little jobs to do and it will be finished.
-
Excellent -- you will be pushing Haddock next
-
Splendid!
-
Hi Zak,
I'm awash with envy....
Cheers,
Bigkev
-
I have a sinking feeling about this one..?
-
I always think it's a bit sad to see a ship in that condition, whatever the nationality.
Nice model though and it does portray a moment in history.
Haddock.
-

I do remember you model Ian.
I may go on and build some of the ships that were associated with the Graf Spee.

I think you could be getting hooked.
Haddock.
-
Please Haddock don't say those words " Zak I am your father" just because he has come over to the dark side.
-
I have now built the Graf Spee as in 1939, The Battle of the River Plate.
The second picture is just to show that there is actually two!
-
And very nice too. You kept that quiet!!
Haddock.
-
Not really it has taken a month or more to finish it.
Modelling seems to be hard work at the moment, but I am gradually getting a bit more done.
-
I think the hard work bit is the nature of the beast, all is sweetness and light till you start messing around with etched brass and rigging.
Haddock.
-
Etch brass and rigging are the "devils own children" - they test your patience and make you use words that should not be used.
