discussion Jumping into ship builidng whole hog!

[Guest]

Before a few months ago, I hadn't built a model ship since around 1967, likely an old Lindberg small scale destroyer with a build your own electric motor to go with it (which I got to work!). Then I went a little crazy and got the Trumpeter 1/350 Roma Italian battelship and then a Bronco Imperial Chinese ironclad from the 1880s, and it went down hill from there. Now doing three 1/350 Yamato variants and some Russian and PLN subs. Will have photos later.

Yeah, and... oh! so that's how it works. Everyone does it a little differently. Well, that's the Roma well towards completion.

And here is the Chinese Ironclad. A really fun build, with teeny-tiny details. Still not quite done, in part due to vague instructions regarding rigging.
