US navy shipyard
Dear friends, I present this small diorama in 1/700 scale. It is a U.S. Navy shipyard. The vessels are a Liberty ship from Trumpeter and a Gaering Class Destroyer (Takom) and the Drydock is by Takom. The camouflage was copied from the usndazzle.com site, a very useful source for camouflage on WWII ships. I added details in resin, 3d printing and photoetched from Alliance, L'Arsenal, Niko. The figures are from ION model, Triumph, 3dmodelparts. Ships have been enhanced with generic photoetch.
Really well done, Carlo (@carlofar206). I have wanted to do something similar for a long time, but have never gotten around to it. I am building a dock, along with some scratchbuilt ships, on my N Scale model train layout.
Let us see it here George.
Fantastic job, Carlo!
Looks wonderful!
Beautiful work and a great result. I like this a lot.
I wasn't aware a Liberty ship was that small (comparatively) - turns out when I checked they're only 50 ft longer than a Gearing DD.
Very nice, Carlo, very well thought out dockyard setting.
Beautiful diorama, Carlo @carlofar206
I wouldn't call this 'little', it is so much more than that.
Another tiny GEM...nicely accomplished!
Fantastic display Carlo. Looks like the shipyard across the Napa River that I can see from my House !
Hi. I thought you would like this photo ! A real boat crane here at the former Mare Island Naval Shipyard.
Amazing work, love the detail. It's really amazing to see a ship out of water, I was able to see the CV-67 Kennedy
at the Philadelphia Naval yard in dry dock. It's quite a site.
