About this Group
This group is dedicated for those of us who build naval ships and boats - both military and civilian. All types of watercraft and nautical projects are welcome. This includes amphibious vehicles and flying boats. If it sails, lands on, or drives into the water (by design). Grab your sea legs and show off work!

Some nice progress, Michael @mcsmith1964 -
Carriers are always a complex build, Michael (@mcsmith1964), especially when you scratchbuild missing structure to make it more accurate. Looking good. -
Coming along nicely, my friend @mcsmith1964! -
Hull joint more or less done. Deck striping going down. Fortunate to have several good color photos of flight deck activity on CV-31 off Korea in 1952 so I can get the deck markings correct. -
This looks really good, Michael @mcsmith1964
-
Great job so far, my friend @mcsmith1964! Nice scaling of the walls!
-
Finished the prep work to attach the flight deck. That meant cutting some the flight deck catwalks off and otherwise tweaking the flight deck and hull to make the two mate better. Also added the hangar […]

Excellent progress, my friend @mcsmith1964!

Good first day on CV-31 ‘52. Steps 1-5 finished, most of 6 and some of 7. In other words, the hull is almost complete (including decals and 40mm mounts) and the island, complete with clear bridge windows, is a […]

Excellent entry, my friend @mcsmith1964! Looking forward to it!

With my first ship build still under construction, I am now understanding just how different these are from aircraft models. Mine is 1/350 and that's small enough. 1/700 scale is really small. My hats off to you […] -

This is a nice subject, Michael @mcsmith1964 Looks quite challenging to me but I'm sure you will tackle it with your skills.

Next project - a 1/700 Korean War Bon Homme Richard (CV-31). I’ve built this kit before as a 1945 BHR - now going to do it as a 1952 (second tour in Korea) to show how far the original configuration went as a […]

Good you decided to re-start this build again, Dan @dbdlee Looking forward to see the progress.
-
Fantastic job so far, my friend @dbdlee! Looking forward to your next steps!

I re-re-re-re-restarted this kit which is the bane of my modeling existence. Did something amazing, I finished most of the flight deck (my first ever wooden deck) with dry transfer decals. TC once mentioned […]
