1/700 ships
« on: June 19, 2018, 01:39:38 PM »
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.

Hi Zak,
Nice that.
Does this mean you are now a 'shipper' rather than a 'missiler'?
Or is it just a short diversion.
Cheers,
Bigkev
I hope my next is always better

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'.
Cheers,
Bigkev
I hope my next is always better

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.
