Naval modeling - ships, submarines and boats.
Hello all,
Here is my attempt at the 1/72 Das Werk SM U9. I have to say I really enjoyed this kit. It goes together very easily and is engineered well. Most of the effort on this was spent on painting and weathering. I used Model Master [...]
The USS Pueblo was a signals intelligence ship of the US Navy that was commissioned in 1967. She was converted from a Army Camano Class Coastal Freighter (later Navy AKL class) and used a cover story of an oceanographic research ship and [...]

For the second post, I chose SMS Emden, another Flyhawk one. Although this ship was described as a light cruiser, the length of this ship was almost equivalent to that of standard destroyers in WWII. Thus, the actual model is much smaller [...]
This is HMS Jupiter, a J class destroyer, which was pictured the status in 1940. You can see it at Wikipedia. It was based on Flyhawk 1/700 and a bit modified by using generic PEs and self built masts. This is my first post. I hope it has [...]
I made a battleship YAMATO "Before and After" diorama and I am posting some pictures. The small scale (1/1250) made it somewhat difficult for me, but in general everything went well and in the end I think it turned out to be a [...]
