1:700 scale modeling

1/700 USS Texas (BB-35)

33 years after I started, I finally finished my scratchbuilt 1/700 battleship Texas (BB-35). I started the model in the spring of 1992, while in the interim between finishing law school and returning to Marshall to start my judicial [...]

1/700 U.S.S. Fletcher (DD-445)

This was a quick build of the 1996 Tamiya kit to get myself back in the mood for building ships. It was more or less out of the box - the only modifications were to paint the black antiskid strips on the deck, a PE rail over the bridge, [...]

Dutch beauty: light cruiser HNLMS De Ruyter (C801)

Today I share photos of my latest adventure in resin kits. This model represents the Cold War-era Dutch light cruiser De Ruyter, which served Her Netherlands Majesty's Navy between 1953 and 1972. This ship was then sold to Peru, where she [...]

Repairing the Hornet

I started this 1/700 Tamiya 1/700 U.S.S. Hornet (CV-8) in the spring of 1992 after finishing law school, and finished it the following March, complete with build info sheet. The Hornet was depicted as she appeared at the time of the [...]

Flyhawk 1/700 Prince of Wales

First attempt at a battleship and first attempt at the scale. It turned out quite well, I think - they never turn out as well as we hope they might, eh ? The good thing was that I made a lot of mistakes during the building, but I also [...]

The Battlecruiser HMS Hood 1941, Flyhawk 1/700

Today, I would like to introduce the 1/700 scale model of the British battlecruiser HMS Hood. I'm using a kit from Flyhawk, which recreates the ship as it appeared during the Battle of the Denmark Strait in 1941. This was quite a challenge [...]

IJN Destroyer Shiranui "不知火" 1940, Pit Road 1/700

Today I am uploading a 1/700 model of an IJN destroyer Shiranui, the second ship of the Kagero Class. This is based on a kit of the Kagero (pre-war), which is a Pit-Road product and includes etchings. IJN Shiranui has an intense war [...]

AFV Club USS Kirk (Knox-class frigate)

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 [...]

USS New Jersey, BB-62

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 [...]

IJN Battleship Nagato 長門 in 1927, Aoshima 1/700

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 [...]
