Naval modeling - ships, submarines and boats.
The FF-1087 USS Kirk was a Knox-class anti-submarine warfare (ASW) frigate. The Knox class frigates were commissioned in 1969 but served only a brief 23 years, as improving ASW technology quickly made them obsolete. Frigates evolved from [...]
This is an older one I did about 15 years ago. 1/700 Tamiya Mikuma & 1/700 Pit-Road Asashio with some etched brass to jazz them up. A battle scene of what the fate of the Mikuma was...
Always like waterline displays for my ships. [...]
Hi All,
Presenting, my next "build the ships I've visited", a 1/700, USS New Jersey, BB-62.
I've had the pleasure to tour the battleships, USS New Jersey,BB-62 and USS Wisconsin,BB-64 but at this time I am only building one of [...]
Hello everyone. Today I'm posting about the battleship Nagato of the Imperial Japanese Navy as it was in 1927. It's been a while since I've worked on an Aoshima kit. At this time, Nagato had an elegant form without the imposing appearance [...]

Here is my first work after many years break of model building. A first attempt at doing something I haven't done before. This construction has taken a year, during which I have been working on and off with the construction. You can see my [...]
Another 1/350 modern sub from MicroMir. This one is the Skipjack class. If you want or need a simple kit for a change of pace, these are worth considering.
I made the base from some wood bits from the local craft store, then painted it [...]
Seeing Marcello Rosa's excellent HMS Vanguard the other day prompted me to post these pics of my one.
I finished this about 6 years ago I think, before the advent of all the superb 3d printed parts now available.
I reworked the main [...]
