Naval modeling - ships, submarines and boats.
My brother joined the navy at age 17 in aug. 1962 after completing the 11th grade...He attended boot camp at san diego and qualified for his GED before being transferred to Millington- Memphis NAS Tenn. for electronics "A" [...]
The old Aoshima/Revell kit revived with a bit of spare phototetch and a lot of scratchbuilding...
Continued with this project, basically I put the decals and added safety nets, in addition to painting several vehicles and cranes ... I hope to continue moving forward and paint and detail the helicopters, in addition to putting the [...]
I have always really liked the naval vessels of the Cold War. I usually build aircraft models, but I got first started building ships with a 1/500-ish Renwal re-release, and I just stayed with the scale. This model hasn't been available [...]
Hello guys, this is the destroyer Ayanami who is veering to avoid a torpedo while an American torpedo bomber crashes nearby. It’s a 1/700 kit from Hasegawa with photoetched parts from Tetra model, the torpedo bomber came from tamiya. [...]

I've had this old Matchbox 1/700 Fletcher destroyer model for at least 25 years. I had built it partway down to the detail parts and left it, as shown in the picture to the right (no U.S. flag). Last weekend I decided that I wanted to [...]
This is a scratch built model of HMS Diamond type 45 Destroyer. I copied the dimensions from a 1/700 kit times 3 =1.233 scale.The hull is calved from a block of pine,the rest is ply.I also built Daring and Dauntless to the same scale.
Quick build of this MikroMir Soviet Foxtrot Submarine. Relatively few parts
but a challenge to paint & weather this 1962 "Cuban Missile Crisis" boat. This one
is the third in a series of 1/350 Russian Submarines on the bench [...]
